This blog is designed to provide some humor, compassion, and hopefully a little support for others like me who have been overwhelmed with family responsibilities, work, caregiving, etc. I used to always tell folks that I wanted to write a book about my life and I already had a title for it, "My Life as a Research Animal." My theory is that there are angels assigned to all of us to conduct various kinds of research. The one assigned to me is trying to see how much one human being can possibly take. I just wish "they" would graduate already!!
