I have to pack today for an 8-day business trip and finish up some wash and make sure things are in order at home before I head out early tomorrow morning. Before I even opened my eyes, I was feeling the stress and anxiety of these preparations. I sat down…

Ho Ho No
Record-setting weather here in Pennsylvania for the end of May, with highs reaching into the 90s. Today, and I beg you not to judge me, my husband and I worked for over six hours taking down our Christmas decorations, including our tree. We normally keep our decorations up until the…

Birthday Wish Granted
After a wonderful birthday weekend, it is Monday morning and I am home today. My company calls this a “rest day” and you are entitled to one when you work during the weekend. Being home is reminiscent of all the days when I was home unemployed but without all the…
