Kids say "mommy plays longer now!" Because I'm not foggy. Best feedback ever.

The lift in my apartment broke today. Usually, this would be a death sentence for my lungs. I hiked up 6 floors and didn't even need an oxygen tank at the top. I felt like Usain Bolt! I didn't even ha...

Cleaned my room sober. Actually moved the bed. I found a fossilized slice of pizza, three lighters, and the missing left sock to my favorite pair. When I was smoking, "cleaning" just meant moving the ...
