Thoughts about how cancer sucks, Jesus teaches and the fact that everybody is going to die.
It was a bad night last night. I’m on this new medication for my ear that actually turns my stomach quite a bit. Well, last night it woke me up. The last time I was woken up by stomach pains I found out a few weeks later that I had Read more
