Just a quick post to squash a couple of stupid, silly rumors that I’m really sick of. I’ve seen this rumor everywhere the past few months and this post probably won’t do any good because the kind of people that spread this garbage don’t believe me, anyway—but here goes: No, I am not writing a [...]

A few fun things about my day today: * My husband is working from home, at least for now. It’s quite an adjustment but it’s lovely [...]
