Chai And A Chat #97 #ChaiAndAChat #CoronaDiaries Week 21

I’m sorry, where did that week go? It feels like mere moments since we last sat down and had a chat! (Gotta tell ya, I do miss going out to Costa and grabbing a Chai Latte, but at least I can have one at home with you!) If we were having chai I’d excitedly tell you […]

“Nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.” Lau Tzo Thanks for the confirmation, Spidey, that doing nothing is a thing! Actually, I say busy doing nothing, but it’s not quite true. The holidays are here, and we have nothing specific planned. That would be better to say. The way things are, right now, I […]
