AT work. It has been so long since I’ve been able to say those words. Far too long. Sure, I work, but I don’t GO to work. I’m not AT work. And, yes, working from home is amazing. My hours are generally flexible. I have no commute. While I have interruptions, they are usually minimal,…

As part of my getting “all the things organized”, I had an idea to put together a manual for our home. While we don’t have a large home, the running of any home requires various planning and information. I tried to search for a sample house manual and came up with nothing. Some samples on…
I had no idea. I knew it was bad, but didn’t realize how bad it really was. When I stepped out the door to walk Phelix early yesterday morning, I realized how ABSOLUTELY, AMAZING, and WONDERFUL it can actually be and was hit by the realization that it had been awful for weeks now. WONDERFUL:…
