If you’re still catching your breath, try this: take a pretend vacation over the weekend, even if you really can’t go anywhere but your living room.

My “baby” had his 16th birthday recently, so now all I need to do is remind myself that I don’t actually have to wrap up my day at 2:50 p.m. to go to school and pick him up any more. This also means that I can take on some new projects or activities without overloading my circuits. One such activity that I recommend if you’ll be in Prescott on Friday, March 12, is that you attend this workshop: “Marketing Basics,” from 1:30 - 3:30 at the Prescott Police Department. Michele Pariza Wacek is the instructor, and you can read more about it here or contact Michele to sign up.
