Do you know what I wish? I wish that the general population would get their shit together. That there wouldn't have to be such a struggle to gain what someone rightfully deserves. Case in point, my mother's long term care insurance. Fun fact......caring for an elderly...

I have made my feelings known about how I feel about humans. They are so annoying and to be honest, I had hopes that people would improve during this pandemic. That empathy and compassion would win. I am a delusional psycho. Anyway, I unfortunately had to be out among...

Let me tell you a little story about my oldest son. I wrote about him a few days ago in honor of Down Syndrome Awareness Month. I shared how impactful he is, but I did not share that he can be a tremendous pain in the ass. Beneath all of the sweetness there is a...

I have been "enjoying" the opportunity to strengthen my foot as it heals from reconstructive surgery. Sadly, I have been at this particular establishment far too many times and they know me well. Kind of like Norm at "Cheers". Seriously. On my first day of PT, I was...
