Wearing old rings that either never fit or have been too tight for far too long! Fitting into high school jeans and having them be too big! All the Happy Days.

I have been using very small amounts of dairy: a bit of cream in my 911-iced coffee, a pinch of cheese in my eggs, bleu cheese on my salads – without which, said salads would be impossible for a few reasons. Is a miracle in itself. Maybe there’s hope for this old Hag after all. View all posts by mwrarr →. You are comment...
