Tuesday, July 21, 2020 Other than wishing for this to all be over with, a close second would be waking up and having a fresh start at this whole thing.

Thursday, July 16, 2020 For those of you who didn’t already figure it out, I love attention. Hahaha. I’m not full on HPD (Histrionic personality disorder), but I do like a good dose of attention every now and again. Who doesn’t though, right? Of course, when I’m working, that’s another story. I do whatever possible […]

Wednesday, July 15, 2020 Too much bad news is scribed throughout my daily reports, so it’s high time I gave you all some good old-fashioned excellent news.
