For Nick’s birthday in his new city and state, I wanted to really cater to his likes and do something extra special for his birthday!

On Saturday, March 14, I received a call from my doctor that said I was at high risk for contracting Coronavirus Disease 2019 or COVID-19. At first, I was terrified for more reasons than one, but mainly because being Vitamin Deficient Anemic means that I don’t create enough red blood cells to fight off serious … Continue reading Coronacation
I’ve always day-dreamed about a cup of iced-coffee, every morning, from a handsomely bearded man. But, until that day happens and as viruses continue to flood the winter season, I’ll take my scorching hot tea with a side of routine.

I recently booked a trip to Heidelberg and Paris for a reunion with my best friend before her wedding and a getaway for G’s graduation - so I’ve been feeling super positive about all of the planning.

I’m a huge vacation planner and am already planning my next vacation, basically six months out. I look forward to it all year, month, week...whatever.
