I haven’t posted since November 30th. Actually, here are some telling signs of the cloud I’ve been in for the past many months. At the doctor’s office a few weeks ago, I signed and dated a document as August 14th, 2009. The lady was like, “Um… It’s December 14th. Yeah. December.” I looked up at Read More
