Like germs.
Fibromyalgia is an auto-immune disorder. Psoriasis is an auto-immune disorder. I have no idea what the arthritis part of it is, but probably the same.
I’ve been remiss in my posting. I’ve had what I thought was a cold, turned into a flu like bug thing (add fever, vomiting, and diarrhea and stir).
On the one [...]

Today I was unprofessional. I work with freelancers frequently, sending them work when I’m too busy or they’d be better for the job. In an exchange with a new one, I jokingly said that I wasn’t sure what project to start him on because, if I was wrong about him, he might “screw it up” [...]

He also asked about my evenings. At about 4 o’clock, my brain shuts down and I start getting [...]

I’ve never been a particularly tidy person, but when I do clean, I have to be able to rearrange the furniture. A room never seems as clean as it could be if it’s not also different. Unfortunately, these days I start by picking up the kids’ toys and by the time I’m done, the rearranging [...]
