About ~*~ Me
UPDATED: 9/2022
So what would you like to know?
I’m an adult. I’m happily married- this upcoming June 21, 2023, will be our Twenty-fourth anniversary! Woot! I work, as a therapist. I enjoy my career.
I have an Associates Degree in Philosophy, and Religious studies.
I have my Bachelor’s and Masters in Social Work. I have Minors in Psychology, Women’s Studies, and Sociology.
I am a disabled American Veteran of; Desert Shield/Desert Storm, I am a #Spoonie, and I have fibromyalgia from the helicopter crash in said conflicts.
Article on Spoonie: But you don’t look sick
I have had carpal tunnel surgery, which killed some of my artistic abilities. However I have learned to modify my creativity, and I still do digital artwork; paintings. I write I have created my own original character, and I enjoy writing. Better than a good day fishing. 😀
I like to do yoga, meditation, and oh yeah, I’m a Wiccan. Please spare me the “I’ll save you, by converting you, to ______.” I’m fine the way I am, and you’re okay the way you are. thank you!
I am a geeka; sci-fi, Comic Books, Movies, Tech-esp gadgets! “OOOOOH Gadgets!” I have a small problem when I enter Best Buy. I want it all! LOL I’ve been doing cosplay of my original character for a while now. 😉
I like to do long walks when I lived in Germany, I volksmarched a lot!!! I don’t drink! I don’t do illicit illegal substances, and I am fine with that.
I do though, do a bad thing- I quit smoking in 2017! I’m five years without a Cigarette!! I drink coffee, in moderation now! And I love good chocolate! And shopping. Retail therapy is also better than a good day of fishing.
I enjoy good conversation. If I don’t know something, and I’m curious, I want to learn more. If I do the research and find out I’m wrong about something, omg, I’ll admit it. And if I do the research, I can change my opinion. (IKR? LOL)
anything else? oh, I hold the right to answer or not. If the question is rude, crude, or lewd- and depending on my mood. You might see how well versed in sarcasm I am!

I think I like many things that you have written about yourself. Mostly the part about “disabled American Veteran” & “oh yeah, I’m a Wiccan” …. Never would I even think about changing anything!!
I worked for the VA for almost 28 years. Therefore, I have a spot for veterans.
Thanks again for stopping by … and I’m following you now!! Hugs ….

Michelle…. we are more like than you know… I’m a geek, gadget lover, sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery fan. I don’t smoke, but love a good gin and tonic, two of my best friends are retired Navy (I never enlisted but wish I had), another close friend is a Wiccan. I have fibromyalgia (developed after a serious dog bite) and carpal tunnel (no surgery). We obviously love the same sci-fi show and we both write. How cool is this!!
Please to meet you! Your blog is delightful!

I don’t drink-diabetic. But don’t come between me and my coffee. lol

Coffee is life.
I do post short stories and have two serial stories… one sci-fi and one cowboy romance on my blog. I have completed a sci-fi/mystery novel in final edit and I will not own up to how many others I have started. (Six… three within one chapter of completion… I’m slightly obsessed with writing) When my muse hits, I have to write at least the first chapter then the story gets in line.
Enjoy your day off…

We will settle for nothing the less than the Democracy that is ours by birthright!
May 24, 2017 @ 23:19:13
and that we have fought for!
May 23, 2017 @ 22:02:58
Birthright includes anyone born anywhere who seeks political freedom.

WORD!!!!
