This morning I got up super early, worked out, took a shower and then braved the elements to get to my 8:15 appointment with the small local clinic. I used to deal with bits and pieces of traffic in my old life, but not really. In California I only lived two freeway exits away from [...]

Last night I was a really, really good girl. I made GM a healthy supper, got her safely into bed, went to the fitness center, worked out for 45 minutes (go me!), came home and made a stunning salad for Mother’s and my supper. While I was on the elliptical humming along to the Beastie [...]
