I got a full nights sleep last night finally. And now shall spend the entire day attempting to sort through this huge pile of creative tasks. Mostly writing reviews, I am so behind. More coffee please!

Day Three of SkunkStink. The farm traps caught one and the landlord is out of town and there is NO WAY we know how to deal with the body. So it's out there. Stinking. A lot. Farm life is sometimes NOT idyllic.
