It’s been a rough time for me from my last post in August. My migraines got way way worse causing me to take medical leave from work at the beginning of October. October was probably the toughest month for me because my symptoms got worse. My physiotherapist described some of the cognitive effects of this … More Update and Seamwork Jo
I earworm myself with this song everytime I wear the full outfit. Hahah. I have been wanting a matching set like this for a while and I am so pleased to finally have it.
