Sundays used to be for rest, reflection, maybe a little rebellion against Monday. But lately, my Sundays have taken on a new identity. Sundays have become Leftover Sundays.

I confess that I’m an Amazon shopper. Not the kind that proudly waves Prime boxes like badges of honor. I’m more the kind that shops in bursts of insomnia-fueled curiosity. You know, those moments when it’s 2 a.m., and your brain decides that now is the perfect time […]
