There are things in life that are hard to ignore. Sometimes they’re people who get under your skin, other times it’s the right thing — the right thing that hasn’t yet been done. A month ago, I picked up my cat from the vet; he’d gotten into a cat…
Sometimes I feel like I’m waiting for my life to really start. Other times it feels close to perfect, what with its good balance of work and personal time, obligations and hobbies, sleeping in and burning the midnight oil.Some days I want to overh…
