Day 289 Today I decided to toss my work aside (which seems to happen quite often these days) and partake in a little retail therapy before the craziness and hysteria of the holidays. I needed to get out and do something … Continue reading →

Day 288 There are days when, for one reason or another, the last thing I want to do is this blog … and usually it is. Today I had just finished laying insulation in the “meat-locker” aka: hall closet attic and was looking at … Continue reading →
