Leveraging Learning

At the risk of sounding bratty, I will say that I am annoyed. I know what you're thinking - get over it, Nan! Trust me, I am thinking that, too. My sense of annoyance comes from many sources.

From not seeing people to seeing them and wishing I could hide in the produce aisle. From being in my house all the time to finding that when I do go somewhere, I am almost immediately ready to come home.
