That Moment

2015-03-16 Miss Poison Musings, People, Poison In Lethal Doses Idiots, Musings, Poison In Lethal Doses, Serenity

There's that moment where every single person you know says or does something that irritates the shit out of you. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was planned. How is it that everyone systematically starts acting like a dramatic, inconsiderate, idiotic asshole all at the same time? Is everyone attending Idiot 101, or … Continue reading That Moment

Sleep issues, for now, seem to be on their way to looking up. I was in bed so early last night, I'm certain every 80+ year old Grandmother was still awake when my head hit the pillow. When sleeping is difficult, it's good to go to bed the second you can no longer keep your … Continue reading Tell Me The Truth; Was I Run Over By A Truck?!

2015-03-072015-03-07 Miss Poison Exhaustion, Honesty, Musings, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Broken Plans, Musings, Poison In Lethal Doses, Spring Forward, The Sun, Writing

One of the most evil things we deal with each year is 'Spring Forward', where the clocks go ahead one hour. I've already been robbed of quality sleep for damn near a month, and this will only add to that. The birds are awake too damn early and my bedroom faces East, so what's in … Continue reading Spring Forward

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

The title seemed witty when I wrote it, but now it seems bloody pathetic. I hope everyone is having an easy start to March. Mine involved ice and snow. However, in the midst of all that, the bunnies have returned and my yard was FULL of a wide array of birds yesterday. There were some … Continue reading Greetings From Enduring Pain

In some situations, you are the problem. In others, you are the problem solver. In the last week, I have been both the problem and the problem solver, but I’m proud of myself because I found a way around the problems and managed to solve them without losing my cool, yelling, screaming, or “unleashing the … Continue reading In Some Situations

I have to admit, I'm slightly impressed with myself at the moment. I'm double-booked with two sizeable manuscripts. There are bonuses to these two jobs, one of which is repeat business. Nothing quite says "You're really good at what you do.", than someone wanting to hire you on a repeat basis so that they never … Continue reading Booked

Happy Monday everyone. If you've been deluged by an obscene amount of snow, I'm sure it is anything but happy. Temperatures in the red, even if only via wind chill, are murderous. Keep warm, be safe, and don't overdo it with the shoveling. Too many people are telling me about back, knee, and shoulder injuries … Continue reading Guess I Missed The Boat…

It Doesn’t Feel Like A Saturday

2015-02-07 Miss Poison Being Sick, Exhaustion, Life, Musings, Poison In Lethal Doses, Self-Care, Work, Writing Being Sick, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, Life, Musings, The Judge, Work, Writing

Perhaps having a stressful week and being sick has made me feel like today is Friday, instead of Saturday. It's disorienting. The sunrise looked more like a sunset, so incredibly stunning in blues and pinks. I have little interest now though in watching the actual sunset. I think it's just laziness. I completed a job … Continue reading It Doesn’t Feel Like A Saturday

Conversations In My House: Part One

Conversations In My House: Part One This is an actual conversation I had, verbatim, yesterday morning. Him: “I’m out of body wash?” Me: “If the bottle isn’t there, then yes, it would appear so.” Him: “You didn’t think to replace it?” Me: <left eyebrow raised> “Do I LOOK like your mother?” Him: “No. Do you … Continue reading Conversations In My House: Part One
