Life Update!

Good Day followers!

I know it’s been far to long since I wrote a new entry, That’s due to the fact that I really don’t have the time to do the necessary research needed to write an accurate IBD entry 😕 & honestly IBD hasn’t really been an issue for me the past few years…I mean other than a few off days as far as I know I haven’t even had a low-level flare-up! I have been dealing with my own personal issues involving “weight & whatnot” that you may have noticed on my other social media accounts, however, no need to be of concern! I can almost positively say that it’s not IBD related! **& will not be speaking about anything other than IBD online.** but other than that my health is in a pretty good place!

Right now I’m just trying to get by. Let me tell you that living alone “well with the two dogs“… trying to manage money working a like 25-30 hour per week retail job is not easy! & very stressful! but such is life right!?

Well just thought I would post a short update and let you guys know that I’m still breathing! Haha here’s a few pictures from the past few years!
