2020-11-09 Advantages of Overcast Day
Today I’m going to wear lounge clothes all day. Enjoy the darkness a rainy day brings. Sit on my couch doing all that needs done nestled with my favorite blanket and pillows. I’ve got plenty to do there, until 3PM when I need to leave to pick my son up from school. The weekend was…

2020-08-07 Let’s Do the Time Warp Again
If there is 1 thing that I know as truth this minute, it is that 2020 will go down in the history books as a year the world was sucked into a swirling vortex of doom. As humans, we’ve had some bad years. Who is to say that what is happening this year is worse…
