Slice of Life Day 16: Never-Ending Laundry

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/16/2020
Last Week Where do I begin? I started off chuckling at the meme I saw online warning everyone of the time change x full moon x Friday the 13th and ended the week mentally and emotionally exhausted as the library closed to the public and I tried to relay information…
