Well, not everytime but most of the time. Yesterday, I was supposed to be doing online training for work but instead, I decided to work on my kitchen table. Most of the time, I don't know where to start and give...

I hope you have a great time fishing with your buds.
Continued support while you figure it out, PapaBear. Hope the venting helped.
Often, we put ourselves on the back burner for customer service by our appearance (I've looked in the mirror to see the significant difference when I stand tall and straight rather than slouched just a bit, and it's a huge motivator in putting myself as tall and strong as I can).
Best wishes!
