Remember when I used to post here 3-4 times a week? I miss those days! Now I'm happy to just get my weekly recap out. Honestly, it's just harder in the summer to stay inside to write at the computer.

Well, at least I'm still checking in here once a week with my weekly recap of recovery from my broken Continue Reading
