I have received three pieces of bad news since the early hours of the morning, one of which involves a death in the family. I have spent the majority of the morning crying or cleaning (my brand of therapy)…luckily, Claire has been in a good mood and has allowed me to leave her alone for longer stretches of time than usual.

I am not sure if these turn of events will result in a blogging break. But just in case you don’t hear from me in a while, know that I am still around.
