First time filling my car up in a year. First time in a shop for a year.
The latest episode of the Joel vs Arthritis #podcast is now available in video, on our #YouTube Channel.
Did you know I have the most unhelpful gauge? It tells me when I have been stressed the day before by waking me up with random rashes. It's like that friend that says 'I told you so' - utterly useless 🤦‍♂️.
