Y'all, to be honest, this week kicked my behind, and I'm anticipating this coming week to go similarly. It's totally fine, but makes finding time to put posts together a bit of a challenge.
So, I apologize for my previous and future lack of posting. Perhaps this will slow down after the legislative session ends? (Optimism!)
