Pissy Fit is officially over!

In August we celebrated 20 years together and December 20 would have been our 14th wedding anniversary.  So in light of Sunday night’s negative karma vomit I spewed out into the universe, I have decided I am not going to make my “ would have been anniversary” a pity party.
