I am awake, it’s past 3 in the morning, and the stuff I took to sleep doesn’t outweigh the post nasal drip that makes me cough myself back to consciousness even though I’m “not sick anymore”. I’m having one of those moments where I realize I’m old enough to know that every day counts because […]

A survey of health care providers, medical and nursing students (n=513), found that no respondent group had positive attitudes towards tattooed indivduals.

Apart from niggling details like my incredibly scratched up glasses lenses (no wonder I have headaches) and the return of my terrible nail-biting habit and my ubiquitous interest in finding more things to hand-write, I just thought I’d share random shit that has been on my mind this week. 1.

It seems like we just got here but today we’re going home. But before that, we’re headed off to an Antique show – it wouldn’t be a visit to my parents’ house without antiques. We actually did venture into a store yesterday! It was the Costco. And we parked right in front. And we didn’t […]
