Posted on February 26, 2012
Even when you don’t get home until 3:30 am from a ghost investigation – it’s still a day of rest. A day to catch up on Once Upon a Time (my new favorite show, next to Castle and Bones), write, do laundry and dishes, and just renew myself. I really do like this new schedule …
