So. I haven't posted anything for while now. Hmm, where to start? The bariatric surgery is a “no go”. The laughable insurance I have will not cover it and U of M does not take self pay.

It's a small thing, but it's still progress.

Let me explain; You see, I like to cook. But not having the endurance it takes to stand in the kitchen to prepare a meal, whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, is frustrating. Incidentally, this is also the reason I haven't shaved.

But I digress. Today I was able to fix breakfast, (steak, eggs, hash ( Read more... )
