Lineage

If you escape into books like I do, I recommend C. Vonzale Lewis series. Lineage is the first in the series. It’s on sale for $1.99 on Amazon Kindle. Zealot, the second book in the series, comes out next month. The third book, Tribe, will come out next year, hopefully. I love this fast paced

That Feeling in my head.

Having Meniere’s Disease I have different stages of symptoms. They don’t hit in any order for me. 1. Off balance- most days 2. Tipsy- aside from a drunk feeling sometimes, I tip frequently. 3.
