Hey guys, I'm your host, Mary, and you're listening to Prologs.

When my brain starts spiraling at a million

I just, I'm all over the place. I haven't been home for more than, I think, six days, six or

seven days at a time since my wedding in March, which is crazy. It's the first week of May,

which means it's basically the middle of summer. It's basically my birthday already. After my

birthday, it's basically Labor Day. And then it's pretty much fall. And the next thing you know,

it's Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. And it's literally almost 2024 at this point. That's what it
