Today’s Work Chronicles… I don’t travel as much as I used to for work so my health fair skills are rusty because it’s rare we have local events.

Today’s Gym Chronicles… Because I’ve often been told how people didn’t think I am as nice as I am because I looked unapproachable, I’m glad the new people in class look to me for help (despite being the fattest and a cusser when the weights get too heavy). What I DON’T like is people being… Continue reading 05.22.2019

Today’s “Operation Pop Up” Chronicles… I didn’t think I would have to go at all this year, but the PowerSchool report received yesterday said otherwise.
