It’s early on a Tuesday morning. My house is quiet, except for the sound of the dryer running. The sun is beginning to peak over the mountains and through the trees outside, but with their bellies now full of breakfast, the puppy and kitties have all settled back in for morning naps. There are mass internet malfunctions right now because of Cloudfare’s server error, my site included, but I’m finding ways to to work around it. It’s too easy, so I’ll say it: good ol’ Mercury retrograde! To be fair though, our planetary messenger friend has been the least of the slowdown I’ve felt lately.
