The Anxiety DivaThis week my husband of 7 years and I have decided to call it quits. We haven’t been in a good place in a long time so this is where it has naturally ended. First came sadness that my marriage was ending then came anxiety. I was all of a sudden inundated with thoughts from […]
I had one of the worst days in a long time yesterday. When I am not blogging, I am a full time Medical Coder. I have been coding for almost 8 years now and I have one certification. I have been studying for months for my second coding certification. Because of the coronavirus, my April […]
