Now What?

What does one do when they are un-employed? Technically, I suppose most will throw themselves into the process of finding a new job. Oh no no not here! Since my last day of work last Wednesday, I have had a fantastically leisurely time ever since.  Thursday and Friday were spent with my mama – we organized [...]

Read A Book, Save The World
