Mid-Season

2016-07-01 Miss Poison Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Canada Day, Fibromyalgia, July, Pain, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian readers! For me, today is the beginning of a four day weekend culminating in the 4th of July on Monday. Quite frankly, I'm appalled I've survived the first half of this year to be faced with fireworks and the worst of summer: July and August. Have I ever … Continue reading Mid-Season

Kinder To Myself

2016-06-16 Miss Poison Honesty, Life, Musings, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Health, Honesty, June, Life, Migraines, Musings, Poison In Lethal Doses, Summer, Temperature Sensitivity, Writing

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and that you're all taking brief moments for yourself in order to re-group and center yourselves before the upcoming weekend. This past weekend was relatively full, but I didn't get any time to zone out and do things I truly enjoy. I feel as though I have … Continue reading Kinder To Myself

Off

I feel immensely "off" this week, and it's only Tuesday. 😦 When I'm asleep by 8:30 on any given night, there's generally a reason. Last night, it was a combination of exhaustion, pushing myself all day to remain awake on little-to-no sleep, being in pain, and it's possible the heat had something to do with … Continue reading Off

The Not-So-Lost Manuscripts

2016-06-04 Miss Poison Inspiration, Musings, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Books, Creativity, Inspiration, Manuscripts, Passion, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing

For the last eight months or so, I had silently convinced myself that I was abandoning the manuscripts for the series of novels I began writing in 2010. Before you scoff and judge that length of time, note that I wasn't writing "just one thing". I was writing multiple manuscripts (hence, a "series of novels") … Continue reading The Not-So-Lost Manuscripts

Rough Waters

2016-05-30 Miss Poison Life, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Battles, Challenges, Heartache, Life, Love, My Brother, Pain, Surgery, Writing

My brother was rushed into emergency surgery Saturday. I spent most of the day stressed out, upset, trying to reach him. Most of my text messages sounded frantic, but that's precisely how I felt. I already knew he was in the hospital, but I'm used to hearing from him semi-regularly, so when I go nearly … Continue reading Rough Waters

I detest going from graceful human-being to absolute klutz. Try explaining cuts, burns, bumps, and bruises to people without looking like a battered woman. It's damn near impossible. A few months ago my right wrist was covered in scratches of varying lengths. To the average passerby, it would have looked like I'd tried to harm … Continue reading Head Meet Sink

Fact: I am seriously contemplating ending my life. No one knows what's going on, or cares, but I feel it's important to talk about. I walked away from self-harm at least a dozen times last week, maybe more. I have no strong desire to actually carry it out, but we cannot "cure" the thoughts that … Continue reading Boiling Point

Maybe its lack of sleep, the weather, circumstances being what they are (I will explain at some point.), etc., but whatever it is, the combination has made me utterly unpleasant and sour. Two feelings that I can never seem to shake entirely. 😦 I forced myself to go to bed early last night, which was … Continue reading Feeling Sour

Deeply Emotional Goodbyes

2016-05-09 Miss Poison Cats, Honesty, Life, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Cats, Emotions, Loss, Love, OGK, Pain, Sadness, Writing

I apologize to all of you for not writing this weekend. I fully intended to complete a post yesterday, but I had to prioritize a horrible Fibro flare and today, despite one of the worst migraines in my life, I forced myself out the door with sunglasses practically glued to my face, on a 30+ … Continue reading Deeply Emotional Goodbyes
