At Least They're Committed

  • An average morning three days after yet another crucifixion of character

    Dutifully making my husband a breakfast smoothie of banana, berries, eggs, mixed greens and protein powder as he showers upstairs, I realize as I snap the blender to ‘off’ that someone is standing behind me in the kitchen.
