About Me
33 y/o bf mother of two, currently residing in the Phoenix, AZ area. I have been married to a USAF Airman for 14 yrs. I am unique, compassionate, lovable and a tab bit quirky. I am always "out there" but it is always on a very practical basis. People seem drawn to me and my willingness to listen. People just pour out their lives and problems, while leaning on my shoulder. I was told I most likely had Fibromyalgia in Sept/Oct of 2005. I then resigned from my job as a Histologist that Dec. That was the turning moment for me, no going back ya know. I have not worked since. Currently I am trying to get my Fibro to a manageable level. As you all know that is very hard. I miss working but just going out to the grocery store or to a friends house causes mini crashes.
