With my husband’s erratic work schedule the past few weeks, we’ve been hunkered down in the mode of simply getting done as much as we can. As we enter a new, more hospitable schedule, we are shifting toward regaining and progressing in the realms of productivity and strength training, hopeful and expectant to meet challenges head on.
