It hard to believe that we have been in this pandemic, or what I lovingly refer to as the universal hostage situation. It's crazy to think how quickly our lives changed and how adapting to a new norm has been imperative. And now, here we are, with the vaccine giving...
I feel like we have come full circle in so many ways. Bailey received his first dose of the vaccine on Saturday. A big step in reclaiming his life, and for the first time in a while, I felt hopeful. The timing is a bit serendipitous, since March 21 is World Down...
I honestly didn't know what to expect. I didn't pay attention. I ignored the signs that this would be an epic explosion and, it was, indeed. Wednesday night, I struggled with sleep. It happens. My brain is a squirrel cage where it becomes fight night at the moment I...

This week has been a colossal circus of snow, bitter cold, and a full schedule of doctor's appointments. One of the appointments was with my eye doctor. It had been scheduled for Wednesday but due to an unfortunate issue, I had to reschedule. Fortunately, they had an...
