Episode 4

Episode 4 The first episode in the new, shorter for­mat, recorded on my very own micro­phone. Thank you for your patience in wait­ing for it!

Flowers Fighting Fibromyalgia!

Orig­i­nally uploaded by ChatOmbre. This is a one flower of the lovely bou­quet in my liv­ing room right now. Sam knows how much I value fresh flow­ers, so he usu­ally brings them to me every week or two. Katie knows that I adore them, so she pho­tographs them, allow­ing me to enjoy them even longer. […]
