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!

Here’s What I’ve Learned

2015 has been many things for me, but it's hard, at the moment, to say it's been kind. That would be a lie. Granted, there are pluses and minuses to every day, week, month, and year. It hasn't all been bad, but it's been hard times a million. We've all experienced this in some capacity … Continue reading Here’s What I’ve Learned

One Of Those Moods

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

Fantastic Journey

2015-12-13 Miss Poison Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses Cat and Kitten, Life, Moving Day, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses

I leave this afternoon for a new city. Well, part of me leaves. I suspect that in an hour or so, part of me will break. 😦 I will be back full-time as soon as my Internet service is up & running. The specifics are a little too vague for my liking, so tomorrow I … Continue reading Fantastic Journey

Sleepless Nights, Stressed, & Making Lists

I'm having so many difficulties sleeping, and it's pissing me off. I wish I could blame that on the incessantly mouthy little dogs next door and above me (They must know I'm trying to sleep, because the second my head hits the pillow, they start barking.), but the truth of the matter is, I am simply … Continue reading Sleepless Nights, Stressed, & Making Lists

My physical, mental, & emotional agony trump a lot of other things at the moment. I'm, quite possibly, not clear-headed enough to write this properly, so please, bear with me. I'll correct anything that I post that needs to be fixed later on. I sit here terribly sleep-deprived, covered in varying degrees of bruises (some … Continue reading Never Underestimate The Pain

Insomnia & Painsomnia: A Wicked Combination

Whenever there's something stressful going on in my life, it often affects my sleep, thus turning me into a shadow of my former self. Insomniac Lisa and Painsomnia Lisa are two very different beasts from the person I am when I'm able to prioritize sleep, and actually get into bed each night at a decent … Continue reading Insomnia & Painsomnia: A Wicked Combination

It is the early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day here in the States. After spending hours preparing stuffing yesterday (which I highly suspect might suck today), I ended up with a highly stressful day which resulted in a migraine. That then turned into insomnia, which is the only reason I am awake at such an … Continue reading Struggling

Hi everyone! I know this isn't a typical visiting experience at the moment, but I assure you I am doing my best. When you're caring for a post-op heart patient, every single day blends into the one before. I likely wouldn't know it was Monday if I hadn't intentionally bypassed Friday and Saturday's normal routine … Continue reading My Apologies
