Our master bathroom is very roomy…..with a very small room in it where the toilette is located. I think these were the only virgin walls left in my house. Many of my walls in fact have had multiple different ‘partners’, if ya know what I mean. So, the fact that these particular [...]

Is it the full-moon, is it hormones, do I have GAD/ADD/OCD/PTSD, is it a midlife crisis, or just a plain funk? Maybe I’m just in a funk. I’m okay with that. On the surface, I have no reason to have issues. But I do and I’m crabby and on the verge [...]
