Lists for Lying in Bed

Unfortunately, last year two of my good friends were given cancer diagnoses. They do not know each other, although they have the same name. I’ll just tell it to you because it’s the most common women’s name of my generation and therefore lends a certain anonymity: Jennifer. You probably figured that out, right? So, anyway….Their […]
