I’ve been actively limiting my screen time for two reasons, both related to over-use & my body complaining. After a three day migraine caused by a “small” volunteer project for a non-profit organization; a database update that required three documents to be open simultaneously and transferring data from those three to another file online while […]

musings in the night, part 47…
The other night’s musings brought me some awesome titles for new work. Not the work itself, just the title!
