A new job, Lessons In Things I Don’t Want To Do, and exclamation points!

The other day I made a comment to a friend about my ineptitude with fairly basic things like walking, cleaning, and packing. My first thought was, “I’m blogging that.” My next thought was, “Well that’s pathetic. I need life.” But I have been a bit lazy with this blogging thing lately. My drafts queue has […]
