MUSINGS
My blog began as a Wordpress site called "Adventures of Polly" in 2011. I found myself out of a job for the first time in my adult life and was also at my heaviest weight. It was really a low point for me, and writing was my solace.
After I completed Web Development school in 2014, I didn't want to be tied to Wordpress templates, and so I bought this domain and began building this site. I am still in the process of converting the old blog posts over to this standard HTML format. It's a slow on-and-off process, and there is still much to do.
