One way I know I’m on the road to recovery is that I’m getting creative again. You can see my latest project in the above photo. I’m sure the ex would say it’s tacky and looks like something out of a dorm room, but I’m decorating for the kids and no one else. It may only be a rent house in a neighborhood I’d rather not live in, but for now, it’s home.

It’s beginning to look like Roe vs. Wade is going to be overturned. Conservatives will feel it was worth it even with a Trump presidency..
Pupils from Marlborough college, Roedean and Chippenham schools predict what life will be like for them in the year 2000.
