Sometimes emotions, feelings, life, memories are too big for one day or one moment or one journal entry. Today is one of those days.

Going home and leaving are never easy to do. But that is no longer my home, some place on the other side of the country is. Yet, those I cherish most in my heart are still in Michigan and seeing them twice a year isn ( Read more... )

Dammit! Mango kombucha stained my favorite pair of shorts from Paris ( Read more... )

So I fainted the other night. It was a bad one. Crumpled instantly to the ground, hit my head really bad, twisted my whole left leg. I'm still in pain. Not exactly sure what's going on, could be hypoglycemia, could be brain cancer. But I used to faint all the time, especially right after I became vegetarian. So I'm not doing something right.
