Last day at work on Friday with the regular crew. One of the providers bought an ice cream cake for all of us. The MA who picked it up had them write “Corona” on it, with a virus symbol over it, because healthcare people are a little morbid but also very good at keeping up … Continue reading Quarantine Day 18 : Joy Postponed, & 85 T-Shirts

Quarantine: Day 15
All you ladies out there worried about your roots – there’s plenty of boxed hair color out there, AND it’s on sale this week! We have ants in our house.

Roxy and June Take Cafe Iguana

She’s ready for action in her Norma Kamali jacket and short black skirt and, judging by the way she’s swaying slightly in the doorway, I know she’s already had at least … Continue reading Roxy and June Take Cafe Iguana
