I wanted to be here near DC for the 4th of July, but this year my daughter’s father has her for that particular holiday. So, I made plans to fly back to Florida on the 2nd. Two days afte3r I made the flight reservations, my ex offered to let me stay out of town through […]
Not a good day. Today, that is. Today was just not a good day overall. I had to get an MRI and found out I am claustrophobic. I had no idea. I had to interact with my ex-husband face to face, and that is never pleasant. Lots of little things went wrong, but the biggest […]
