Let’s get real for a minute. I’m sitting at my kitchen table, staring out at yet another dreary, drizzly day, and you know what? It’s starting to feel like my life is a never-ending loop of weather forecasts and gloom. I mean, seriously, why does winter have to go on longer than a bad Netflix series?
