This World Is Not Fair

This isn’t the type of post I wanted to make, far from it. Our sweet Nefarian was diagnosed with a tumor at the base of his heart on April 5th 2022. Needless to say I was shocked, devastated, heartbroken, when…

Trying to Blog More

So, I’m trying to get back into the whole blogging thing. Years ago, way to many years ago, I would blog several days a week. That was close to 20 years ago. And I enjoyed it. But as I got…

Big Changes

When I first started at my past job years ago, I thought for sure I would be working there until retirement. I absolutely loved it. It wasn’t until the pandemic hit that things started to change. I won’t get into…
