NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120136) • United States 23h

2 naps today!

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120136) • United States 21 Dec

I love when I don't have to worry about getting up for work the next day. I don't nap on days when I have to work because I'm always worried about it messing up my sleep. I don't have to go back to work until January 2 so it is...

A Christmas gift from my aunts

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120136) • United States 20 Dec

My mother and sister (and my dad when he was alive) cut off my mother's siblings several years ago. It is a long story that I won't bore you with but I did not. They definitely did something shady that had an adverse impact on my...
