Be A Daffodil

It's been a weekend! I could probably end right there, but I have things to say, so buckle up! Or walk away! I'm pretty sure the whole world knows that I injured my ankle playing volleyball a month ago. Lord knows I've been whining about it enough. That injury was the final straw in a …
