I think Jeff may be on something with the spring/ cabin fever?
I really wish we could all meet IRL over a pitcher and comisserate. It just feels so much better to have a conversation like this in person over a few drinks than read in text. I would definitely spring for the first round - we can put the Zoloft in the ice cubes!
PS I do have to admit it might have nothing to do with snakes but the picture of dog "Plato" all covered up with a blankie is the cutest thing I have seen all week.
