Who is me? Let’s see… My brain only stops working when it gets overloaded and then I see black, which is because the heel of my hand is pressing against my forehead. It’s a pose very familiar to those close to me and one my eldest son imitates very well, to my chagrin. I rarely see my middle son, though he is always home, glued to Youtube. My youngest is my constant source of amusement and is currently sitting on my lap, flipping through channels and rubbing my head with his fist. So yeah, I guess I’m a mom.
I write. I observe. And then I write some more. People and their behaviour fascinate me endlessly. I read. A lot. I love to learn.
And no matter where I am, I’m here.
Edit August 28th, 2017
My fiction blog, in which I started writing in March 2013, is presently being turned into my author blog. There you can find poetry, short fiction, and soon, updates on my series “The Great Dagmaru.” Click here to check it out and follow me there as well. I’ll look forward to seeing you there. ๐

I was living in Georgia, USA, when someone used my credit card in Montreal. My bank caught it and called me to verify that I was not in Montreal. Apparently, I had a rather large gas tank, not matching my make on model from the loan they held, and a hankering for an extremely large soda as well. The bank rep told me to pay cash in restaurants. Seems wait staff are the most common “sellers” of card numbers.
I hope your luck turns around!

That wasn’t the point. The point was that, in the traditional sense, you are not a Mother and therefore the day didn’t apply to you in the first place.
However, considering you never wrote me at my email address, it proves you were being disingenuous, and rather than sincerely wanting your question answered, you merely wanted to be validated in public on my forum, and I am not so easily used.
