Sausage And Eggs (MM #2125)

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that bring you joy. I never thought that sausage and eggs would ever be something that would bring me joy, but they do. Sausage and eggs aren’t very diet friendly, so when I get to eat them I savor every bite…

Slightly Depressed (MM #2120)

I’m feeling slightly depressed.  Or perhaps I’m just in a bit of a funk. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. I usually feel this way around this time each year. It’s just the stresses of life. I know that most of us feel this way every now and then…

Cheese And Crackers (MM #2085)

How is your holiday stress level right now? I realize that Thanksgiving isn’t even here yet but I’m already feeling a bit stressed. I was hoping that life would slow down a little bit over the next few weeks. But while most of my friends will be slowing down, it looks like my work load is busier…
