So much…
Pin itSo much to do view, so little time! In addition to laundry and dishes and driving kids around town and changing diapers and tidying up and dancing in my kitchen and making the bed (a new king size bed ) and answering emails (months late) and making decisions on this house we\’re building someone [...]
I went to a naturopath last week…
Pin itMy chronic dizziness drove me to her. The doctor who operated on my eye looked at me like I was a hypochondriac when I told him I was frequently dizzy. I informed him it began 4 days after my surgery, so it must be related. He told me the anesthesia should have filtered out [...]
