It only took 2 years…
for me to get my California driver's license! Let's just say the DMV is not a super peasant place, but if you are on crutches they treat you a bit more like a VIP customer. So even though I moved here over two years ago, yesterday I finally became an official Cali resident. The sis …

When you come from a hospital stay after surgery you tend to forget about the pile of clean clothes you need to put away and the mountain of magazines that are piling up on your coffee table. You tend to focus on the patient's healing and leave general cleanliness for your imaginary housekeeper. Well yesterday, …
