My boss called me this afternoon and asked me to ‘stay home, stay healthy’ this week. I’ve worked in four different departments there and if shit hits the fan and they need someone they know is healthy because they haven’t been in the building, they’ll be calling me. My husband has been working from home and … More Isolation Begins
Well, I am finally on summer break from school. Which means two things. One – I can update here more and two – we are renovating our bedroom. It will be a fairly similar process to when we renovated our spare room, which you can look back on in my entry Spare Room, only this time we … More Bedroom Renovation
