Day 189 If I were an entomologist I’d be in bug heaven right about now. If I were an ordinary person I’d be trapped in bug hell right about now. And since I’m neither (an entomologist or an ordinary person) … Continue reading →

Day 188 It all started innocently enough. I put a piece of paper atop my calendar (that is sitting, on an angle, on the left side of my very tiny desk. The desk issue still has not been resolved.) … … Continue reading →
