Honestly, in saving my life. I can’t say I’d have stayed sober without it. But the thing ( Read more... )

So Friday was Sis’ birthday! She took the day off & we went to Auburn Hills to one of the largest outlet malls in the state, or something, idk I’d never been there before.

There is a little bit of time left in my timezone to call it June 15th. Those of you that were friends with my sister back in her LJ days - before she abandoned the internet for non-green, boring pastures - you probably still get reminders that June 15th is her birthday!
