Family First

Yesterday morning my brother was admitted into the hospital with what is, as of now, a form of heart failure. The doctors are baffled; stating that they don't know how this happened because he is far too young. Unfortunately, he is far from being out of the woods. He is scheduled for a serious procedure … Continue reading Family First

Prayers & Tears

I contemplated being silent today because I'm not in a good mood, but I'm also too upset to pretend. I've had less than five hours of sleep. I tried going back to bed an hour ago, but I am unable to focus on genuine rest. That usually means doing what I always do when there … Continue reading Prayers & Tears

Regardless Of What Challenge You Are Facing…

Most importantly — never surrender. Put things in perspective. Take care of yourself. Find ways to … Continue reading Regardless Of What Challenge You Are Facing…

Morning “Rituals” & Fibromyalgia

I'm sure most people have their morning "rituals". For most people, it means waking up in search of coffee or tea.

I had a solid idea of how today would go, but instead of … Continue reading Morning “Rituals” & Fibromyalgia

Empty

I might be writing this from the afterlife. Why would I say that? Because the truly gruesome bruises are gone, there's not a scratch in sight, and I feel...nothing. Perhaps empty would be the correct word. That can't possibly be normal. Though my warm shower definitely reminded me that my left knee is far from okay. I … Continue reading Empty

Aches, Pain, and Shooting Stars

It is unbearably difficult to move today. Everything hurts ten times worse than it did yesterday. 😦 The only non-painful part of my body are my toenails. That is sad, at least from where I'm sitting. Pain like this is torture and no decent human-being should be forced to live like this. I'm not stating … Continue reading Aches, Pain, and Shooting Stars

100% Sore

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a marvelous few days. Me? Not so much. I'm doing my best, but I'm covered in bruises and there are many more that have yet to surface. I can feel them. Not fun. 😦 While trying to pack and get my shit together (Waste Management must hate me … Continue reading 100% Sore

Time Is A Fickle Thing

This weekend has blown by. I've done so much in the last few days that I am struggling to move. The only thing that doesn't hurt is my hair. 😦 My new mattress was delivered earlier in the evening. The irony that I'll only get to sleep on it for the next three weeks is … Continue reading Time Is A Fickle Thing
