Spring Break is over. The rain, the snow, the sun, the lazy, the productive, the hilarious, the movies, the competitions, the adventures, the mistakes. It was good, and I’m glad we had it.

Her: This is Maxine from the Seniors’. (I have lived... I’m feeling much better. Thank you. And sounding almost normal. Keep the prayers coming / fingers crossing / voodoo dolls dancing. I’m totally feeling the love. *Things I’ve Learned While Not Having a Voice* (In No Apparent Order) ## I can live without answering the phone for days at a time. Days, I tell you....

I love it when that happens. A whole lot. And you never know what it’s going to be. One moment,... What? A week? It’s been a week since my Last Brilliant Post? How does such a thing happen?
