Nov 2024

I live with chronic pain from an autoimmune disease. I hate when I'm like "OW!" what did I DO?...the answer, nothing. I slept too much on that side, or I used my hands too much, whatever. Bodies suck...and htey only get worse with age!

Ringht now there's that nasty storm still blowing in on the west coast, and the barometric pressure is messing with me big time! (oh goody, I'm a human barometer...lol)
