Author: Louisa Masters
Series: A Joy Universe Novel
Book Two
Genre: M/M Romance

Dimi Weston has always loved the theater—just not as much as loves managing things. His job at Joy Universe lets him manage to his heart’s content, and he fills his free time with community theater. Now, though, he’s being offered a promotion to his dream job: managing Joy Universe’s brand-new theater production company. JU really does make dreams come true—or so he thinks until he meets the ex-Broadway director he’ll have to work with.

Jason Philips is shocked to discover the hot younger guy he was trying to impress at a community theater is going to be managing the production company that just hired him. Scarred by the bad breakup of a long-term relationship, Jase is already nervous about getting back into dating… and now he’s accidentally offended the first guy he tried to flirt with and now has to work with.

As Dimi and Jason get stuck into the craziness of the theater, they have to contend with family, exes, and the nosiness of their colleagues, but nothing will stop them from making this venture a success.

(Quack) Antique Medications: Part One - Bromo Quinne Laxative cold Tablets


I went antiquing the other day and scored some amazing old medicinal items!!  Both the bottles still contain their medications even!  I'm over the moon with these antiquated relics!!!  Soooooo, I've decided to do a little series on these!

In this Part One I will be going over the Bromo Quinne Laxative Cold Tablets

I found this box in an antique store in a city close to me at a steal for only $3!!  After looking through ebay I found a similar box in worse condition then mine for $12 OBO.  All in all not a very sought after or expensive antique medicinal item from our past but still cool none the less.

Giveaway has Ended - Verified Winner noted in widget below :D



I CAN NOT WAIT FOR SUMMER!!!

Summer is my absolute favorite season - I can't get enough sunshine and outdoor time and one of my favorite things to do is CAMP!!  We have an amazing campground in our area that me and my family frequent every year multiple times.  We love that the lake is so clean, you can see the bottom of it all the way until the drop off AND it has a beachy area with yellow sand 💓

It is located in basically the middle of nowhere 😂 phone service is spotty and the fishing is great!

My Trip to the Asylum

For my twelfth anniversary this year, me and my love went to visit an old asylum (The Traverse City  Regional Psychiatric Hospital formally known as 'The Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane') 😍  and it was awesome!  Below are some of the pics I was able to capture :D  We took a two hour long tour of the main revamped building (now used as a mini mall type venue with housing in the top floors), a 'cabin' which is a fancy word for a separate dormer on the property for patients and one of the underground steam tunnels.

This is a small view of the revamped portion from the front of the main building.  Each separate window on the sides of the picture were one single room each when it functioned as an asylum.  The set of three close together windows in the middle were a 'day' room where all the patients in that wing gathered.


A little history:

The asylum construction was started in 1883 and finished (the main building anyway) in November of 1885.  The first Superintendent was James Decker Munson who served in this position until 1924.  In it's start up year, the asylum housed only several hundred patients.  Over the next several years multiple new buildings were constructed to house additional patients and a Nursing school was started in 1906 on the property.  As the housing requirements grew, so did the amount of acreage.  Initially there were only 350 acres bought - before the asylum closed indefinitely in 1989, it had an amazing 1,000 acres full of housing and farm land.  The most patients recorded in the asylums history peeked at 3,600 patients in 1966.  As far as the more macabre details of anything that went on during the years the asylum was running, our tour guide was insistent that nothing of note happened here.  If fact she stated that the use of restraints in this facility was strictly prohibited through out its long history and that only one death ever occurred (and that was a patient/patient issue that resulted in a death).

Your Friendly Neighborhood (Jail) Drug Dealer


My inmates have affectionately nick-named me the friendly neighborhood drug dealer.  Every time I come to the door to pass meds they're all like 'drug dealer's here!' lol - it sounds like a dig but it's actually a cute nickname.  I forget how it started originally but with each wave of new inmates that pass through the jail, the tradition gets carried on.  It's extra funny because we (my county jail) do not give out any of the 'good' drugs.  We do not give any narcotics, controlled meds or high abuse medications.  Basically just 'need for life' meds, in fact the biggest pain med we give is Tylenol or Naproxen 😂
