Wrote hardly anything this week. Might need a social media break or a news break or just an overall break. Hang in there, friends.

Not on here much or anywhere else because people are super nasty these days and I keep on having to block people. Why? Because they are hateful. I’m not “hypersensitive” I just don’t have the patience for ridiculous people. Ramadan Mubarak

It’s a struggle every day between stay in bed and eat ten pounds of chocolate OR get up, teach, write, love, and laugh. Doing the best I can.

Got a massage today and it helped but I think the 390-page book that’s still unfinished is maybe making my body hurt.

Tis the season for napping. Baby is still nursing and so I’m still needing naps a few times a week. Sometimes coffee is just useless.
