Amber's Rant:

This is #10 of 52 episodes for 2022! Did I mention the weather getting better last week? That was silly of me, pretty sure it snowed here just to spite my words last week… But than again, we all know that there is always the false Spring before the real Spring. Luckily, when it starts to warm up this time, we should really be getting the Spring this time! Then Summer, which means fun in the sun! Yay!

Remember to take some time away from all the media, especially after these past few weeks, and have some down time with your family and friends. Pull out your board games, have some snacks, and just talk! Quality time is always better than media time.

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.
