Sorry I’ve been so quiet on the blog front. As the title will lead you to believe, I’ve been pretty busy lately.

Well, last week was interesting and by interesting, I mean it was a crazy complicated clusterf*ck. Honestly, I better have gotten all of my 2019 drama out of the way. Although my blog usually covers cancer and travel, I need to unpack what went down last week; and since my blog is, um my blog, this is the outlet I’m… Read more »
