Normally I love Tuesdays, but today I woke up in pain. Granted, I didn't go to bed last night feeling as though I could run a marathon, but this pain is different. In turn, it's making me irritable beyond words. I am so bitchy, I can't stand the sound of my own thoughts. 😦 I … Continue reading Tuesday Blues

I've had yet another rough, stressful week. I am emotionally exhausted. I'm also in pain that no one should have to be in. In an ideal world, I'd be able to curl up this weekend and not have to face anything until next weekend. No, I'm not delusional, I've just had enough. I am sitting … Continue reading This Week Is Over

WARNING: Potential Triggers I'm a ridiculously intuitive person, which has the tendency of scaring people if they aren't used to it. I live my life paying attention to the same things most people ignore. However, it is virtually impossible to ignore your body and mind when they're screaming at you. No matter what bad thing … Continue reading As Real As It Gets

Good morning. Buenos dias. Buongiorno. Guten Morgen. I've been up since 4:50 (I know this because I checked, hoping it was later.) and the only thing I can say is "UGH"! I'm in so much pain, it's wrong. I slept in a delusional fit early last night, and again for a few hours early this … Continue reading Pain In The Neck

How Did Your Day Go Yesterday?

The best laid plans. 😦 I was in so much pain yesterday that I decided a "quick nap" was in order around 1:00 PM. We will not discuss that I slept way too long. In turn, I didn't get any editing done. I fed cat and kitten because they were both staring at me pathetically, … Continue reading How Did Your Day Go Yesterday?

I have come to cherish my weekends like a newborn baby. The arrival of Friday makes me feel less guilty about self-care. This week in particular, I need it. Early yesterday evening, I had a coughing fit come out of nowhere. In the midst of said coughing fit, I felt something in my upper spine … Continue reading Friday, How I’ve Missed You

I'm sitting here, minding my own business, and my pain levels shot from a 4 to a solid 15 in just a few minutes. Has this happened to anyone else out of nowhere? Not being in complete control of your own body is HELL. I cannot see past the blinding pain that starts in my … Continue reading Pain Levels

2015-08-062015-08-06 Miss Poison Honesty, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Allergies, Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Pain, Sleep, Stress, Trauma, Writing

Sleep doesn't come easily for me these days. In fact, I often wonder how long I can function without sleep. Seemingly I can only sleep when I'm sick, upset, or exhausted beyond words. No one likes wasting time staring at the ceiling. Tossing and turning for hours is overrated and I'm not going to do it. … Continue reading Sleep, Pain, & Stress

Mondays. They are the bane of my existence. I get sick by 8:00 PM nearly every Sunday evening, knowing that Monday is only a few short hours away. I have a sneaking suspicion I should only work Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Perhaps I shall rename the week days altogether. I'm starting to suspect that an … Continue reading Come Look For Me If I’m Too Quiet
