I am a 55 year old woman, who dresses like she's 20 and acts like she's 12. I have been married for 28 years. The reason for our longevity? He is very left-brained and I am very right-brained. We balance one another.Our household is run by five Bombay cats and one Dutch Diva bunny named Riley.I am progressive in my politics and pagan in my beliefs. My sign is Virgo and, yes, I am definitely one. I am also a true Earth sign. I hate shoes because I can't feel the ground beneath me in them.My pursuits and interests are varied. I am a photographer, a jewelry designer, a writer and an artist. I can play some guitar, some drums and some piano. My favorite class in high school was chorus. My favorite class in college was drawing. Are you noticing the trend here?I am no longer able to work at a "real" job due to being permanently disabled. I live with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My joints, if they could talk, would tell you that they suffer from arthritis. But I try to ignore them.The one illness that I live with, and the one I hate the most, is that I am a hoarder. I come from a long line of hoarders but mine spiraled out of control three years ago when my Mom died. All of her things are still in boxes in my living room, though, though a lot of counseling and a lot of support from my husband, Joe and my friends Karo and Suzanne, I am at the point where I am ready to tackle those boxes. It is time to take my living room back.
