Hi! I’ve been a bit quiet with the blog. I’ve been under the weather a bit with stuff. Lately it’s been the damn skin graft. Doc took the pressure bandage off yesterday. I fainted. As usual. But now I’ve gotten used to the look of it and I’m ok. I…

Morning friends! How are you for a Monday? I’ve been busy on the computer lately with lots of blog makeovers. It’s been head down, bum up around here. The Media Maid is like another job of mine. Yes I seem to have a few! Writing this blog and designing blogs is my main…
