It amazed me, telling the truth and being collaborative (for some people) could be so difficult. It’s also sad to see highly educated, …

Blessing
It would be lovely to close the purchase; a home would be a big present for myself yet confirming extension and lock-in rate offered assurance. I ran to Starbucks to claim my free b-day coffee yet it closed earlier, well, good day (much warmer than the past 2 days) to run and get fresh air. …

Surprise II
A few weeks ago, I asked aunt if she knows people in CO that I can stay for a few weeks. I like outdoor and due to remote work, why not take advantage? I didn’t hear back, neither thought much of it. When I saw aunt, she mentioned a relative in CO said yes, she …

Espere con ella en el corridor para regresar de su familia en hospital. La niña fui a tener una operación en la mañana. Yo sugerí a re programar nuestra vacación, …
