    • About Me

      I just wanted to say a few words about myself. I am a single mom of a beautiful young lady, she is 25 years old. I live with her because I had a mental breakdown from living alone. She is taking very good care of me, even more since I had my surgery in August. She really watches carefully what I put into my mouth. I am currently enrolled in the Community College near my home, and will be starting in January. My hopes are to be an Advocate for my peers who suffer from mental disabilities that can't speak on their own behalf. I just want to add before I close, I had my 5 week checkup and I am down 40lbs. total. I wrote a blog earlie in the week that said 35, but I got weighed yesterday in my PCP's office and it is actually 40.

      I am very interested in learning how my new computer works, I am a new geek. I know it's about time! I also am very interested in educating myself, any way I can. I like playing Bingo on the computer, as well as, in bingo halls. And finally I love interacting with my daughter, she can be real fun to be with. [Some of the time.] LOL!
