Random vignettes from a unique perspective
Autoimmune party update for anyone who was invested in the story of my swollen freakout 2025.Remember when I was going on about getting signed up for an autoimmune draft pic for some reason? I can't control how my brain makes comparisons but I hope it's at least entertaining. Also, I did not get signed and... Continue Reading →
August 2006. Midday. Somewhere on the I-80. Maybe Wyoming. Picture a majestic frontier, where the great plains slam into the rocky mountains. Breathtaking vistas of rolling hills colliding with oceans of rock; creating random meadows of vast prairie that give hints of flattening terrain as you descend slowly into lower elevation.

Ceci N'est Pas Une Lune In lieu of the myriad of problems my Jurassic ovarian masses are causing, I am on the tale end of an absolutely raging IBS flare up.
