It has been a few years but I am back.

Almost two years ago I decided that working full time, going to school full time and taking care of a family with multiple special needs was a great idea. I was wrong about the great idea…

Small NSV jeans are a bit looser.
I have noticed that my jeans were looser today than they were last week at this time.
