Every single morning the first thing I do when I get up is I pee….with an audience of pets….and then I brush my teeth. That little tiny habit is important because it sets me up for the rest of my day. Once I brush my teeth there is no going back to bed for five…

Today is my little sister’s birthday. I won’t tell you her age, but she does act like the older sister most of the time. So if you see T. Please sing her happy birthday. She will smile and tell you thank you. She will say she doesn’t care, she’s not a “selfie” person. T will…
