Last night I started watching ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and now I am up to season 2 – I love a good binge watch while I’m waiting for new seasons to start of the other shows I like to watch. It is scary how close the narrative is to certain groups that appear to have grown…

I’ve been sick for the past few days – making sure I get plenty of fresh air, rest, drinking lots of water to keep hydrated. I took a day off from going for a walk at night due to it raining on and off – I didn’t want to get stuck in a downpour only…
