It’s Hump Daaaaay! I don’t know why this phrase makes me laugh, but when a camel says it you just have to go with it, I think. Happy Wednesday! I finally managed to get together my Healthy Living Guide for my Get Healthy and Save Yourself support group, and I have been really happy with…
Read moreBut You Don’t LOOK Sick…
Oh, how many times I have heard this. “You don’t look sick.” I have heard it from friends, family, bosses, doctors, nurses, and random other assholes. But I am sick, and I have been for a long time. When I was a kid, I suffered from severe asthma. You don’t see that business unless you…

Normally, at the beginning or ending of a new year, I like to do a little recap of that year. This year, I have decided to spare my readers from reliving the angst.
