Things I Want to Remember | Part Three

I enjoy writing these posts more than tater tot posts. Writing a random post about nothing in particular is the grownup equivalent of a study hall note passing session or MASH game. Speaking of which, you can now play the MASH game online. Part three of random things I want to remember and save in… Continue reading Things I Want to Remember | Part Three

Not My Mother’s Menopause- Appendix

I haven't had a yearly physical since I was in the thick of perimenopause in 2018.

100 Drops of Gratitude

The past few weeks I've felt like I've had to drag myself around everywhere I go. Like a cartoon figure who unfolds themselves out of bed onto the floor, down the hall, and onto the couch each day.
