Jacky Hackett: Cooking, eating, reading, riding my bike that goes nowhere — living my best porch life.
Monday is a good a day as any for a sick day. Not me, and nothing serious. The littlest is on day two of a fever and sore throat. He deemed me “his butler for the day”. Nice. Could be a lot worse, really he just want me to hangout and watch movies with him…
