Adrenaline dump

Yesterday was a roller coaster. The morning started like any other Fire Dept coffee, Peter Thomas Roth patches, shilajit honey sticks. My niece came over early since she was going with me and Dusty to my appointments. I made them cinnamon rolls for breakfast, then took a shower and got ready. We left to go to my physical therapy appointment. They sat in their employee break room at their table so they could watch a…

She passed peacefully

My “step grandmother” passed peacefully. Unfortunately, no one bothered to tell us she did. So we were unable to attend any of the viewings she had scheduled. My aunt wasn’t even told she passed.

But she’s now up there with my grandpa, who if you recall (or if I even posted about it) unfortunately committed…
