Introduction I am a former technical writer who developed fibromyalgia and had to stop working and go on disability. I love to make jewelry, knit and crochet, and read great books. I also love to cook and collect cookbooks and recipes. I read a lot, and am interested in Virginia Woolf, her Bloomsbury associates, British literature from the middle 19th century to the end of WW2. I'm very into art, both looking at and doing it. I study philosophy, psychology, people, history, environmentalism, and more.
