    • About Me

      Step-mother of two boys (who occasionally drive me crazy) partner to the love of my life, and mistress to one dog and one cat. I'm a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I'm starting peri-menopause (and hating it). I also have anger management issues, but I am starting to understand where they come from and have started working on some old baggage from the past.

    • Interests

      I love playing World of Warcraft and just about any other video game (especially with the whole family) I love to go out in my kayak (when the weather cooperates), playing with my dog, gardening (I'm a newbie at that, though), and sharing my everything with my beautiful Devon girl!

      This is the place to whine. Welcome to DS. I dont have any tricks but streching is the best for me. Of course I still have to take my pain meds. I wish I didnt but my from just told me about some stuff called trauma oil and to get it from the health food store. I am going to try that.
