Author's Note: This does not pertain to the non-idiots of the world, of which the ratio seems to be smaller by the day. Patience is not my strong suit. It's a fact, so I'm being clear about it. And yet, with my severe lack of patience, every idiot in the world is somehow finding me. … Continue reading The World Really IS Full Of Idiots!

That Moment

2015-03-16 Miss Poison Musings, People, Poison In Lethal Doses Idiots, Musings, Poison In Lethal Doses, Serenity

There's that moment where every single person you know says or does something that irritates the shit out of you. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was planned. How is it that everyone systematically starts acting like a dramatic, inconsiderate, idiotic asshole all at the same time? Is everyone attending Idiot 101, or … Continue reading That Moment

Hard To Define

I am currently in one of those moods that is hard to define. Lack of sleep and a full body flare-up haven't helped matters much. You either allow yourself to feel all of the pain, or you mentally allow yourself to be dulled. I'm not talking about drugs or alcohol. I'm simply saying that after … Continue reading Hard To Define

Sleep issues, for now, seem to be on their way to looking up. I was in bed so early last night, I'm certain every 80+ year old Grandmother was still awake when my head hit the pillow. When sleeping is difficult, it's good to go to bed the second you can no longer keep your … Continue reading Tell Me The Truth; Was I Run Over By A Truck?!

One of the most evil things we deal with each year is 'Spring Forward', where the clocks go ahead one hour. I've already been robbed of quality sleep for damn near a month, and this will only add to that. The birds are awake too damn early and my bedroom faces East, so what's in … Continue reading Spring Forward

Hello everyone! I was terribly sick yesterday, so I apologize for not posting. Happy Purim & Happy Full Crow Moon. Believe me when I say, I won't be able to see the moon tonight. The snow blind is murderous and the sky is so white, it's creepy. I'm recovering from a series of migraines that … Continue reading Earl Grey Snow Day

The title seemed witty when I wrote it, but now it seems bloody pathetic. I hope everyone is having an easy start to March. Mine involved ice and snow. However, in the midst of all that, the bunnies have returned and my yard was FULL of a wide array of birds yesterday. There were some … Continue reading Greetings From Enduring Pain

Each year on her birthday and the anniversary of her death, I try to memorialize my mother in some way. Writing is the best way I know how, outside of talking about her with those that loved her. One day my children will be able to look back on what is written about their Grandmother, they … Continue reading Is Time Really The Great Healer?

In some situations, you are the problem. In others, you are the problem solver. In the last week, I have been both the problem and the problem solver, but I’m proud of myself because I found a way around the problems and managed to solve them without losing my cool, yelling, screaming, or “unleashing the … Continue reading In Some Situations

I have to admit, I'm slightly impressed with myself at the moment. I'm double-booked with two sizeable manuscripts. There are bonuses to these two jobs, one of which is repeat business. Nothing quite says "You're really good at what you do.", than someone wanting to hire you on a repeat basis so that they never … Continue reading Booked
