Let me give you a little insight into the daily life of Jarid.
I arise every morning at 6:35 a.m., most of the time by being gently shaken by Kate.
She nudges. I cuss and roll over. She shakes harder. I protest. She pulls back the covers. I swear I'm breaking up with her. She says bribery will get me nowhere.
It's a cute little game we play.
From there, I settle into my morning routine. Everyday is close to the same because if something drastically different happens " the whole day is ruined.
