I’ve been at this gig at I’m Sick And So Are You for about 6 months now. I’ve published over 50 posts here and have had a couple of pieces published on other sites. I’ve come to know and love and even befriend some of you lovely folks. It’s been real nice. Since I’ve come… Read More A Day In The Life Of This Sick Blogger
