The boys are off to school and the car's in the shop. I opted to get that done first thing this morning because it made more sense to do it right away rather than wait until this afternoon. It will sit there for awhile but at least that part of the day is already done. I picked up the brake pads and unfortunately, I ended up having to pay for rotors as well. It's not a huge deal because I should be getting a check this week but until it shows up and it's already 30 days late, I can't count on it. With all that being done already, I can focus on getting some writing done this morning. I was going to try for a shorter work out today…

I've got quite a bit that needs to get done today and only one of me to take it all on. The kids need to get to school, which isn't a huge deal and after that I have to work on a few reviews for this week and next. I've opted to focus on reviews instead of unboxing videos because I'm having issue recording things and I can do a better job with a review. I also have a couple of paid writing gigs to work on as well. All of these things are good news. I'm grateful for the work and the companies that are sponsoring reviews as well. It all helps to keep things moving forward and that's a true blessing. The other thing I have to do…

It was a really weird night and I woke up feeling like shit. I was up with Emmett on and off throughout the night. He was having nightmares and I did my best to comfort him, even at the expense of my own sleep. Thankfully, he's feeling great today and he's full of energy that I wish I could have some of. Apparently, the boys are going to their Grandparents for a bit today and that's awesome. We pretty much desperately need the break. We're very grateful for the time to ourselves. ☺ At the moment, I feel so poorly that Lizze is sending me to go lay down. Hopefully, I'll feel better when I wake up.

I can't believe I'm telling you this but in the spirit sharing, I wanted to explain where I've been today, or rather why I haven't written. First of all, I've been home. ☺ I've never mentioned this before because it never occurred to me that it was relavent. The only reason it is now is because it was something causing me significant stress. It's really stupid but I have/had a sebaceous cyst on my back. It's smack dab in the middle and right in line with my spine. It's small, maybe the size a marble but due where it's taken up residence, it's become bothersome. It's nothing serious because people get these all the time. My doctor checked it out and it's nothing to worry about. While that is true,…
