The Road To Kingdom Come

It is Monday and I am back at work. I know that I shouldn’t take work time for personal business but I use personal time for work so it is a trade off. So I am blogging on work time.
I know that I have said this before but I feel compelled to remind myself, and [...]

I mentioned in the previous post that Friday was not a great day. But I did take an action Friday that, hopefully, will have some positive results. For about 7 years I have been taking Effexor.
