My Cat Can Feel My Pain We have a house full of cats, not that it was ever planned that way, but they are all rescued from very bad situations at a local farm.

I Deserve The Pain
I Deserve the Pain I’m most definitely my worst critic and my own worst enemy. I’m very hard on myself all the time.

Music Is Good For The Soul
Music Is Good For The Soul In order to relax, some people meditate (meditation never worked for me, maybe I’m not doing it right), and others exercise (I can’t really get into exercise, every part of my body either starts to hurt too much or I start to fatigue quickly). While others curl up with… Continue reading Music Is Good For The Soul
End Of the Trip

I have always experienced this with male doctors. When I was in the Marine Corps and I went to medical, it was always, we… Continue reading Diagnosis Bias?

Rough Start To A Trip
Rough Start to a Trip I’m about 1.5 hours away from home in Northern Maryland this week for some training for work. The trip was well, let’s just say rough, the drive was painful on many levels. First, my medications aren’t really killing the pain the last few days so there is that and the… Continue reading Rough Start To A Trip
