Heck. It has been a long time since I wrote anything. I’ve missed writing so it feels good to get back into it. I want to apologize for vanishing for such a long time. I probably did the worst thing and announced my pregnancy and then locked myself away from the amazing online family I …
Should I tell people?
Pretty much any form you fill out these days asks about your medical history or current medications. Every single time I get to that question, I pause and have an internal debate within my poor little head. Do I tell them? Is there any point telling them? What good will it do? The other question …
