I would apologize for not writing anything of substance over the past few weeks, but I'm not sorry for sparing all of you. I've had little I've wanted to talk about, not just where writing is concerned, but in my daily life as well. When that occurs, I find it is best to retreat inside … Continue reading Devoid Of Emotion And All That Jazz

Shutting Down

I've had roughly six pain-free hours in the past two weeks, so bear with me. I could never say "I hurt." enough. 😦 That's not even the appropriate terminology for what I've been experiencing, and I hate it. Pain isn't always physical. For me, it often is, but sometimes pain is also emotional. I don't … Continue reading Shutting Down

This weekend is going to plunge into Siberian-type temperatures. This morning, when I couldn’t sleep, it jumped from -10 to -12 in a matter of minutes. What’s worse is; you can feel it in your bones and on your skin. It is the kind of pain I would have blown off many moons ago, when … Continue reading Unplugged

A Myriad Of Thoughts

I begin this day by wishing my best friend Marion the happiest of birthdays. Not a lot of people can say they are a true friend of mine, but you can say "This is my best friend of 20 years." There are marriages that don't last nearly as long. We're the lucky ones, and sometimes … Continue reading A Myriad Of Thoughts

I haven't been quiet intentionally, I've been quiet because I've been sick for the majority of the month we have recently said goodbye to until 2017. February didn't exactly begin with a sense of calm, either. I've had maybe one or two migraine-free days over the past month or so, and the migraines themselves have … Continue reading Words

I hope everyone had a prosperous, happy week and weekend. Me? Not so much. I've been plagued by migraines at a near non-stop pace. The warmth of last weekend (which wasn't all that warm, really.) gave way to incredibly awful Fibromyalgia pain during the past week into this weekend. The cold has forced its way … Continue reading Rules Of The Week

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and start to the year. Mine started off decently enough, migraines notwithstanding, and then I ended up in Urgent Care Saturday afternoon. I legitimately thought I was having one of those days where putting contact lenses in simply wasn't going to happen. Normally this only happens once … Continue reading Manic Mondays

I wish I had a dose of wisdom to bestow upon you today, but I don't. I wish I had something to give that somehow made even just one person's day brighter or easier, but I've got nothing. I am all out of poignancy at the moment. 😦 The thought is disheartening, to say the … Continue reading I’ve Got Nothing!

We've all, at one point or another during the course of our lives, been in "one of those moods". No one on this planet is ecstatic in their happiness at all times. If they were, there would be no such thing as mental illness or anti-depressants. There would be no practical need for such medication, … Continue reading One Of Those Moods

Hi everyone! I apologize for being too tired and too sick to write this earlier in the week. I'm trying to get used to being back online. I legitimately hadn't turned my computer on since my post on the 13th. I saw no point in tormenting myself. My phone allows me to check what's going … Continue reading Darkness, Light, & Slowing Down
