The Collie, The Switch, And The Wardrobe

Guys. Let's talk about moving. Not moving on, just moving your stuff. From one location to another. It's hard. It's awful. It's one of those things that borders on impossible, until it's finished.

They were short on their token girls and I guess I came to mind simply because I'm always workin' on muh fitness. HOWEVER, I was not a good … Continue reading Volleyball PTSD. It’s A Thing.
