Between my 5:30 a.m. wake-ups, the nagging rib injury, and one elderly fitfully slumbering pug, sleep has been very hard to come by lately. And it isn’t going to get any easier anytime soon. When the doctor said “It’s going to feel worse before it gets better.”, I just dismissed his words as a worst case scenario. Well, worst case or not, he was right.

Intriguing, no?
Schedule permitting, I’d like to do a little Q&A sometime this week. So, questions…post ’em if you got ’em!
I end today’s blog with a pic of this apartment’s most adorable couple gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes…
