So there I was, minding my own business, when a squadron of bees decided I was prime real estate. Not one, not two, but three stings. Arm, neck, leg – a trifecta of pain and puffiness. Now, I’m walking around looking like a bizarre version of the Michelin […]
What’s your favorite time of day? I’m an early bird. I can’t help it. Even when I want to sleep in, I can’t. My body considers 9 am to be late. Sadly, or unfortunately, my dog is an even earlier “early” bird than I am. This past morning, […]
