No work, no make-up, no schedule! Cosmetics had especially been a "need" of mine (I've been cursed with "allergy shiner"...dark...

I am writing this piece after reading a tweet from a celebrity that was encouraging young people to take their lives seriously between the age of 18 and 25 because (as she suggested) at the age of 30, anyone must have something to show as an achievement.

One reason the small fixer-upper (which we knew we'd never have money to fix!) was so attractive, was a massive Japanese Red Pine which looked like a giant bonsai in its front yard.
