Father's Day

You know, I couldn't find a good Father's Day card for my father this year. I found one from the kids, but couldn't find one with an adequate representation of my feelings or our relationship for that matter. My father always gets me and Hasana these really beautiful blank cards for our birthdays. I looked for a blank card but couldn't find one. My father and I are cool. Strange description for a father daughter relationship, but it's the best way to describe it. He's a unique person who's managed to basically live life as he saw fit. I do admire--and in a way envy--him for doing so. But the costs, wow the costs....

Light Deficiency or Perimenopause


I mean it when I say, not having sunlight really affects me. It affected me even more before I began taking my Evening Primrose Oil---part of my perimenopausal cocktail. Yes, I said perimenopause. I was going through it: night sweats, anxiety, serious weight gain, I had it all. But I've found a cocktail that has been working. I haven't perfected it yet, but it provides me with some serious relief.


It's rained all week. Hopefully, the sun will show her pretty face soon.
