The past few weeks have been a bit tough as I’ve been unwell, with a virus, and really bad cough. I’m still not recovered completely, but am now on the mend. Coinciding with this illness, work has been very busy and I’ve been starting at 6am. I didn’t have to take any sick days so […]
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to everyone. I hope 2018 brings all that you would wish for and especially happiness. Usually, I have a few goals set in place by now, but this year I find myself spending more time just thinking about them and not committing. Promise I will come up with a list soon. One […]
