Wins & Fails
Jessie’s Win: Jessie successfully adulted by handling the aftermath of her truck being hit in a hit-and-run.
Colleen’s Fail: My fail was having lows a few times this week which needed more Smarties than I’d like to bring me back out of them. It’s a sign I need to go adjust my ratios and sensitivity in my pump settings.
