Slice of Life Day 13: Glimpse of Normalcy
It’s amazing what can change in just 12 hours. Yesterday, I posted about “The Unknown” dealing with the COVID-19 virus. Even as information is constantly being updated and decisions are being made hourly and daily. Plus, trying to alleviate the anxiety of my staff and the public by keeping them…

Slice of Life Day 7: Spring Cleaning
I can’t say that I like cleaning the house. But, I do love the results! And when I get in the mood to clean, you better watch out because it’s happening! This week, my partner is away at a conference, so I’ve spent time every night cleaning up the house.…

Slice of Life Day 6: Most Adventurous Dog Walk
I had a great day yesterday, a couple of crazy things happened at work and I stayed calm and rational. I’m trying hard not to overreact about something if it’s not necessary. I mean, overreaction is never necessary, but sometimes it just happens. Then I got home with a plan…
