This is not a beautiful blog post. I’m a real person, and sometimes my reality is a struggle. Right now, I can’t sleep. I can’t concentrate. Some days, I feel like I can barely live normally.

I really believed I’d be … More A Lingering Illness…

I’ve created a cozy little spot in bed, complete with my favorite mug, some honey-laced tea, and a good book … More Under the Weather and Cozy in Bed
