It’s Been A Long . . .

Weekend.

Week.

Month.

Well, honestly, several months.

Sigh.

It’s crazy how life hits, you know? Sometimes it just feels like you can’t get out of the streak of “bad luck”. We had a string of illnesses back in June to early July. Then I got in a car accident. Then our basement flooded. Then we [...]
