Summary

Last week was my Infirmary Tour. With my mom in town for a week, we visited sick & recovering friends/relatives and sat at my sister’s bedside as she successfully endured thyroid surgery.    Then Vinnie got a staph infection.   Then I got my period early.    Then I realized I had no tampons.    It was a week of not getting done any of the things I NEEDED to get done and not sitting in my own space to do the things I normally do.    This is me NOT at my finest. Not at my most positive. But still trying to be a damn Pollyanna.    It’s not all rainbows & unicorns, friends.    Oh, and apparently Vinnie likes my belly button.   Learn more about your ad choices.
