Ye Olde Blogge

Here I am finally home. I survived, barely. As I said, I wanted to post more details about my trip once home. First the physical issues: 1.

Totally expressive, others always know exactly how you feel. What number are you? via New Kid and Profgrrrl Please consider donating to my efforts in…
