Sixth Anniversary

Today is my sixth anniversary on WordPress. I can't believe how far I've come since sitting down on a particularly benign day, and saying "Why not?"

I’m Still Processing

Hey, everyone. 🙂 It's been a rough time for me. Unfortunately my "rough time" is on a never-ending loop. No one is more tired of it than I am.

Easier Said Than Done

I'm having one of those days when I'm close to checking myself into a hospital to prevent a complete and total nervous breakdown. My doctor's appointment went really well though. 🙂 Of course, I question whether it went well because I eliminated the word "Fibromyalgia" from my vocabulary, or if it would have been okay … Continue reading Easier Said Than Done
