I had just walked in the door at 10:30pm Isaac: Is that salad in the fridge for me? Me: No, that’s my lunch for tomorrow Isaac: Oh, I ate some chicken and peppers out of it Me: Isaac! Isaac: What?! I thought you made me dinner and left it in the fridge. I also thought…
I keep telling myself that day 2 of no caffeine really isn’t that bad. In fact, I barely notice it! Then I remember that I am a terrible liar. Today’s lunch break I spent sprawled out in the backseat of my car, passed out, drooling on a canvas grocery bag that served as a pillow.…

Day 2 of my new gluten free lifestyle is complete! I have decided that I am sick of having to use steroid cream every single day to control my eczema and am going to try cutting out gluten. My little sister who also suffers from eczema has done this and has experienced wonderful results. My…
For me, the hardest part about waitressing is the wind down after a shift. After a 15-hour workday I would love to come home, shower, and pass out immediately.
