I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Pronator Teres Syndrome, and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome... Needless to say, I cannot work a real job, hence I am a ne'erdowell. I have recently enrolled in college again. This time I am working on a Bachelor's degree in English Literature. My previous degrees consist of an Associates in Culinary Arts and a Bachelor's in Art with a Studio Concentration in Drawing.
