Day 2, England: Observations from The House
I woke up yesterday, or today, since I think this will upload on the 9 (probably because of where my original WordPress location is), at about seven. I didn’t actually get out of bed, for two hours but jet lag, coupled with sleep issues made […]
Day 1, England: This place is weird
Yesterday was my first day in England. I’ve been dying to visit this place since I was somewhere between the ages of 5 and 7, and was introduced to my aunt and her nifty English accent. There were already Briticisms that I would have grown […]

I’ve lost some vision… but I’m still functioning
My vision has worsened. I can no longer see the same distance, in front and it’s even worse peripherally. I try not to dwell on it too much, but my interaction at the doctor’s today really brought it home. “Okay,” my doctor says once he’s […]
Being An Adult In The Pediatric Wing…
Attending the same hospital for your entire life can make visits as an adult—well, that’s what they tell me I am—awkward, to say the least. Especially when it’s your final visit to your pediatrician. “Look your girl,” my mom called loudly to someone standing outside. […]
