Ever feel like there is just NOT. ENOUGH. TIME? Not enough time in the day, not enough time in the week, not enough time in the morning, or before bed. There’s not enough time for pooping—alone, or showering— alone;  much less for “me time”—alone!?!?! Heck, there’s barely any time left for reading this dang blog post!! … Continue reading Conservation of Time: 2/4/17
