Petunia & Dre by Allison Garwood for October 26, 2023

Is that chicken or small pox?

Oh boy, I can’t wait to see how this plays out!

This is horrifying…I hope that everything you describe now is in the past tense.

People with ADHD tell great stories, in the fullness of time

Glad you are healthy enough to come back. Admire your strength to tell your story thus far.

Starting is the hardest part.

Pregnant?

You seem to have a knack for this kind of story telling. Love it!

My favorite high school English teacher had a great formula. He called it “The Army Way.” It was, “Tell ‘em what you’re gonna tell ’em. Tell ’em. Tell ’em what you told ’em.” I decided to call it “sonata allegro,” but it’s the same thing either way,.

I tend to use a lot of parenthesis in my written word, and never knew this was an ADHD trait until after I was diagnosed and started to read more about it, and read more about others’ traits. I HAVE TO GIVE A FULL BACKGROUND AND ADD IN ALL THE SIDE THOUGHTS AND GEE WHIZ SENTENCES GET LONG. Haha!! But yeah.

Could it have been a psychosomatic issue? I remember that as a kid the tension at home was so suffocating that I ended up vomiting every day. My dad and sister argued pretty much all the time, I were silent and heard everything. I couldn’t avoid the feeling of nausea and disgust I had about my family.

keep venting Alli … not only is it healthy to get it out……. this is going to make a great Halloween Week type of tale…. ( and your strong enough to handle it…)

Allison… as Clarence the Angel said to George Bailey…. ‘’ No Man is a Failure Who has Friends’’… and you Ms. Allison are Rich and truly Rich in Friends….We are All with You…Everyday…Everytime…. Always….. k
