ABOUT ME:

I was struck down with nerve pain many years before I knew it was a big problem. I had to quit my "calling" of being a Chef, only to find out the work I redtrained for  made my pain even worse. ( my boss told me lifting heavy items was good for your bones! I think I proved her wrong! Now 11 yrs later, the computer is my best friend and I only do stuff on "good days" and I disapear on "bad days".

I have a loving husband of 20 yrs and 5 wonderful pets that keep me on my toes!
