There is no nice way to say "I feel like shit." I thought about it and decided I wasn't going to attempt to gloss it over. That's like buying heavily scented cat litter with the idea in mind that roses will make it all better. Unfortunately, no matter what you do, shit is still shit. … Continue reading Unfancy

Two nights in a row, I've gone to bed early with some form of pain. Tuesday night it was a migraine that I was praying away. The idea of waking up with it and having it stay with me was not one I was willing to romance. Last night, I still had a headache, but … Continue reading They Say We Need…

Friday morning I stated that I'd rest this weekend and get things done inside my home, as much as humanly possible. I mentally calculated exactly how much laundry needed to be done, and then factored a few others things into the mix. What I did not factor in was a terrible Fibro flare and bouts … Continue reading Weird Worthless Weekends Lost To Pain

Thank you to those that inquired about my health on Tuesday. I genuinely appreciate that. I was 100% better yesterday. Apart from a little achiness, it was surreal to physically feel nothing. These are very rare days indeed, but all I felt able to handle on an emotional level was some paperwork and phone calls, … Continue reading Soothing The Beast

I woke up this morning in sheer agony. Have you ever experienced pain where you are almost certain there are knives in your back? Picture it for a second. Yeah, it's not pretty and the concept that one can feel such pain without actually having gaping wounds is astounding to me. No one should have … Continue reading If You Have A Sledgehammer

Fibromyalgia Pain. Chronic Pain. Migraines. They are just a few of the evils that millions suffer from. Some suffer loudly, but many more suffer in dark rooms, alone, in silence. You're screaming on the inside, but you don't make a sound. There is something about the temperature shifting drastically that changes my "Pain Game" to … Continue reading It Doesn’t Get Easier

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/opinion/sunday/julia-baird-stand-up-for-your-cats.html?smprod=nytcore-ipad&smid=nytcore-ipad-share&_r=0 I am the first person to admit that I am not married and I currently have a cat who will turn two later this year and a nine month old kitten. Cats are far more independent animals than dogs, but they're also my spirit animal to some extent. I'm definitely NOT stereotypical.

I have no idea why Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have become my favorite days of the week, but lately, I just can't handle week days. Does anyone else feel like this? I've had a rough week. I've been in a lot of pain and have required way more sleep than any single person my age … Continue reading It’s Friday, Let’s Celebrate!

http://felinesofnewyork.com/ This should lighten the mood for many of you. I was once asked why I went to North Shore Animal League to adopt two kittens when I could have gone someplace local. My response was "I'm from New York. I want cats with attitude." 😉 Of course, as I speak, there's more attitude in … Continue reading Felines Of New York

Hello everyone! I was terribly sick yesterday, so I apologize for not posting. Happy Purim & Happy Full Crow Moon. Believe me when I say, I won't be able to see the moon tonight. The snow blind is murderous and the sky is so white, it's creepy. I'm recovering from a series of migraines that … Continue reading Earl Grey Snow Day
