Let me know if you know of any.Two weeks ago was mostly me being sick to my stomach.

Definitely feel... pending doom isn't the right word, but Dad mentioned feeling like a freight train was coming, and not being sure how to get up to speed to catch it, and I absolutely identify. Not just now, but before Hallowe'en, and DragonCon, and...; whenever there's a project for which I am ( Read more... )
