We had a storm last night. We’ve had worse. Tornadoes, even. But last night’s winds were brutal, and we had quite a lot of rain as well. I surveyed the situation in the light of day and made a little video showing what was what. …
I had promised to give you a “part two” of the “modes” that I experience on the regular as a person with chronic health/pain, and mental health issues. I will say that it’s been hard to make myself sit and write this, mostly because my …
