My D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today

Aside from having that song stuck in my head, today should be a good day, right?

On pregnancy and abortion Part 2. Still not funny, but less likely to make you cry.

You know when you leave your blog for some time without updating it… Then you attempt to carry on with it but you just can’t find a logical way to follow on from your last post? I’m there.  My blog has been sitting, neglected, like a <insert humorous simile here>. Now I come to update [...]
