Achieving Health & Balance in Body, Mind & Spirit (or at least working on it!)
I’ve been battling a cold since I got back from Chicago, and in the middle of it the furnace decided not to work. Had the repairman out yesterday and the heat worked for about 4 hours and then no heat again. ARGH! I can’t imagine what my electric bill is going to be as I’ve [...]
