It’s been a strange week. Let’s see…. Well, um, I failed my dex scan. Although I haven’t heard back from the disfigurement doctor, I’m guessing that I’ll remain as I am now – at a standstill.

It’s been a few days since I wrote. Hi. Can’t believe Christmas is almost here. That’s crazy. It really is. I’m pretty much stuck here for the next couple of days. When the weatherman says it’s going to be rainy and “miserable,” that’s a good time to stay inside… although I’d still rather go to… Read more
