Today is April Fools, my mother’s favorite holiday I’m pretty sure. Marm loves her practical jokes! I just talked to her on the phone and she told me about this evil (and hysterical) idea she had to prank my little sister, however her best friend talked her out of it. Katy was recently accepted into…
This morning I had a good session with Ken. Now that most of my anxiety problems have been hashed out, we are working on my personal and professional growth and development. We talked about how I victimize myself to make situations seem worse, causing me to pity myself and have a bad attitude. I am…

While I get the EXACT same thing every time I go there (burrito bowl with rice, fajita veggies, tomatoes, cheese, and guacamole), everything that restaurant has to offer is delicious.
