Unknowns and Whatevers Part I
Tighten the old belt
Another hole
Done that
No like strangers

Since I injured my shoulder, I have been fighting tooth and nail to get back to my old normal self. She rode her fat bike through the snow. She went cross country skiing. She worked out at the gym running and lifting weights. I’ve been hugely frustrated with the slowness of my recovery and the…

If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know that I am no fashionista. I try sometimes but have neither the time, patience, nor money. Especially when you don’t have a lot of money, you need the first two attributes — time and patience — to find the good deals. And fashion sense helps….
