Cynthia Sharp wrote the book on murder—literally. Once the world’s top assassin, a fatal mistake left her half-dead. But when her secret crush, Amelia, becomes a target, Sharpe is dragged back into the game. As the bodies pile up, Sharpe will have to decide: a love or blood

Feeling slow and sluggish today. Definitely didn't eat well this past week. I overate and ate poorly. I'm going to use this week as a learning experience for my eating habits and learning how to catch myself before I make a poor decision. #diet #eatinghealthy #exercise

I woke up at 3am to get a head start on all the stuff that needs to get done today, and can already foresee a major energy crash by like 10am. Send conscious and functional vibes.

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But.
Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.
For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!
