Three hundred and sixty-four more days…

What a way to start the new year….   According to revision history, I started this draft on December 27th. The last edit, before now, was January 3rd. When I opened up the draft, I realized the post was finished, I just never actually hit publish. Sure it’s March and it’s old news and I already posted about it on Instagram. But it’s a finished post, so just publish the damn thing and get it… Keep reading…Three hundred and sixty-four more days…

Days of ease…

Bob’s been on vacation all week and tomorrow is our last day to enjoy it. I get so spoiled at the end of the year. Bob doesn’t take much time off throughout the year so he ends up taking a lot of time off in November and December. I love having him home. We don’t really do anything.
