I took the day off yesterday. I haven’t taken a day off in a while, nor had a good vacation in over a year. I had a staycation last year, which wasn’t bad because everyone seemed to be having one of those then. Taking a day off is a little... [view entry]

So I’ve probably mentioned it before (only about a hundred times!) that get most of my pantry staples from the Italian store.
