it's a convoluted mess
Here we are in the throes of WEEK 24. But really, who’s counting anymore? Everybody. Everybody is counting. Or maybe it’s just me. Anyroad. 1.) Insomnia is back with a vengeance lately. It may or may not have something to do with the fact that last week and this week Bob has had to go into work to cover support for someone who is out on vacation and those duties can’t be done remotely and… Keep reading…Ain’t no way around it…
F-BOMBS AHOY!!! So…business as usual. The last thing I ever want to do anymore is write about current events and the horrifying state of the world, but we’re in the middle of an actual fucking GLOBAL PANDEMIC and Minnesota is under a Shelter-In-Place order and you know what?
