Regular readers may recall that I recently mentioned new changes that were underway up here in my corner of the world…primarily that we were taking girl child out of full-time childcare and going the frugal route. Well this week was our first week with the new preschool which you may recall I talked about as well last week. The verdict….well …

Since late last week, I had been having some discomfort in my left shoulder, chest and side. Initially I figured it was one of my …
