What I’m Loving

– Modern medicine. My dad just had some serious health issues (which is why you haven’t seen a lot of posts from me lately), but thanks to a wonderful team of doctors he’s on the mend. Thanks, science!
– Coffee. After being out of town to see my dad, I’ve been playing catchup at home. Thankfully, coffee helps when I don’t get enough sleep.
