Husband is getting medical tests. I have the new job, teaching study and test-taking skills to medical students. Too much happened at the same time, and I have been wiped out for the past several weeks. Same old stuff! 😉 Have your new book, but haven’t had time to read it yet. Soon! 😊
congratulations on the new job. sounds good. hope hubby will be okay. fingers crossed all round.
