exactly my half

Tonight I got the keys from Maija. The window was open so I yelled her name from the street. This makes me very, very happy- reminding me of my childhood and all those happy, carefree years that existed before cell phones. If that’s not a good place to start I don’t know what [...]

WORK:
I read some court documents that made me physically ill today. They were graphicly detailed as to why the individual deserved a settlement (I work for a company that can be Trustee, POA, Guardian, etc. for individuals).
