…is that sometimes it smacks you in the face. Sometimes you think you’re having a good day – productive at work, out for a quick drink with coworkers at happy hour. And then you come home to a quiet house and a slightly needy dog and a fridge that is empty save for a half-dozen bottles of Gatorade, packets of Energy Gel, and a carton of soy milk.
