Phone Etiquette

Phone Etiquette

Sometimes in the fury of life, my head hurts from banging it against the wall. Between my mother insisting on a quote to paint her home "so it has better curb appeal for when she is dead and we sell her home" to Bailey's constant non-answering of his phone, it is...

The Decision

I am seriously tired of 2020 and all the lessons that it seems to want to present to me. The process of walking through difficult feelings and decisions is weighing heavy on my heart. I shared that we met with a hospice vet and formed a plan of action to make our...
