    new year. same shit.

    My mind is BLOWN 🤯 It’s 2021!! and this little one just celebrated her SIXTEENTH birthday! My niece arrived in this world mere days before I received my second (failed) kidney transplant.  Now she’s sixteen?!?! WTF. Excuse me, I’m sixteen (well, at least in spirit and sometimes – maturity). How can this be so?  It’s […]

    DATING THE CHRONICALLY ILL (PART 2)

    DATING THE CHRONICALLY ILL (PART 2)

    DATING THE CHRONICALLY ILL (PART 1)
