So, I’m beginning this post by saying I took a day off today. By taking a day off, I mean that I’m not officially grading or following my schedule.

Christmas Eve 2014, I went shopping for dinner, which we were taking to my family the next day. It was our first Christmas in our new home. I started getting what I thought was a migraine. Nope. Christmas Day, I got Tamiflu as a gift from Santa. And no family Read more…
