I live with chronic pain and so use the Spoon theory often to explain my energy levels. To summarize, basically every day you get so much energy or spoons when you start your day.

I usually have four to six books going at the same time. Usually a romance, a fantasy or science fiction, a dark romance, a literary fiction, a mystery/thriller, or something that is part of a series.

I had planned this tattoo when Michaela was alive and long before I met a few others that might be added to it one day, but mostly the stars are from friends I have known almost 25 years

I was clipping my toe nails yesterday. I know, I can’t contain my excitement over that too. 😂 What got my attention is that I am using a set of clippers I have had for over 10 years probably closer to 15.

I met someone new to me this past week. My dear friend introduces us and as she is headed out of the room the new person asks, “are you a hugger?” I automatically said, “yes” and as we are hugging, my dear friend turns around and says, “no, you aren’t.”

I was going through some old photos of Michaela and I. I was remembering memories associated to the photos, but it spun off into more and more memories. Miss her so fucking much - miss us holding hands and snuggling on the couch as we watched Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.
