I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
I couldn’t sleep the other night. It has been happening to me with some increasing frequency. But instead of being a couch zombie or runinator – two bad extremes- I have looked to do things. Get some tedious things done. I mean really tedious. What did I do […]
