Deficits

You’re going to have to pardonnez moi, because I’m sorry, but I need to complain a little bit, and by complain a  little bit I mean complain a lot, obviously.
I feel distinctly foggy these days and I have no idea if it’s because of the double dose of Zol*ft I am taking or if it’s [...]

Rambling About Parenting

The Fire Next Time

The medication I am on isn’t working.
This time it’s worse – worse than the first time before I was taking anything at all, because this time everyone knows about the box.  I let my guard down and I let everyone in and I cried on the phone and I was honest for the first time [...]
