After everything we have researched the cause most likely of the handyman’s craziness is probably viral (of course the doctors cannot say this for sure since they don’t actually know what causes it but this just is my gut feeling and it is supported by the fact that they were almost positive it was viral [...]

a new morning
Good news all the way around considering the election results and the fact that we all slept last night from about 10:00 pm to 3:30 am (this was after a quick clean up of puke off T’s futon. I really need to get a mattress cover for it but I hate synthetic fabrics). Yesterday was [...]
