The Big Squeeze!
Today I had my first mammogram. The one thing that kept going through my head was “wow, I am old.” The other thing was wondering what I would look like without breast. Silly. I know. But nevertheless, this was my … Continue reading
Vomitrocious
Today… I am overwhelmed.Nothing major… no need for therapy… yet maybe my little happy pill isn’t working. Last night Zachary comes into my room… after throwing up all over his bed. Sick. They are dropping… yet one at a time. … Continue reading

The last bit I have been having dreams about high school. Those years were not pleasant years for me. I was more in a survival mode. I disappeared into my dream world a lot. Reading took me away too. I … Continue reading
