The First Night Of Chanukah

If one more person wishes me a "Merry Christmas", I will hurt them. It's very simple; I'm JEWISH. I feel like I've been over this a million times, but today I damn near lost my temper, so I'm going to reiterate this, but for the love of G-d, don't make me do it twice. Yes, … Continue reading The First Night Of Chanukah

National Kitten Day

Today is National Kitten Day! 🙂 You've all heard me go on about my love for cats, and have heard me talk about Cat and Kitten. My relationship with cats evolved from childhood into adulthood. My mother's cat was rescued out of a rose bush as a kitten. My mother was a dog person, so … Continue reading National Kitten Day

Triggers

December. My new month, chock full of triggers. I woke up Thursday morning and didn't know where I was. From the colors around me, to the sounds; I was completely and utterly disoriented. And then, it came crashing down on me in one fell swoop; it's December 1st. Last year, my life changed drastically on … Continue reading Triggers

Brain Problems

No, the title isn't meant to indicate an actual health issue. Not that I'm aware of.

Thankful, Grateful, Yet Pissed Off

Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the United States. There is much history behind this holiday (I currently live in Massachusetts and you can't escape people talking about spending the holiday in Plymouth. I've never spent Thanksgiving at a restaurant; I've always participated among family, cooked it myself, etc.), but for me, especially this year, this … Continue reading Thankful, Grateful, Yet Pissed Off

Silent Nausea

I've felt the need to be silent this past two weeks. There are millions of thoughts in my head, things I've love to put into a cohesive pattern, but I honestly cannot bring myself to do so. I'm physically, mentally, and emotionally too drained. I am sure many people feel the same way. I will … Continue reading Silent Nausea

An Open Letter To The “Person” Who Hurt My Brother

An Open Letter To The "Person" Who Hurt My Brother Let's pretend, for a second, that I don't know who you are. I'd simply hunt you down slowly and throw you to a pack of wolves. I wouldn't shed a tear. My tolerance level for such behavior is nil. However, I know precisely who you … Continue reading An Open Letter To The “Person” Who Hurt My Brother

Saying Goodbye

I've never been happier to say goodbye to a month. 😦 The month I most look forward to every year, October, has been bitter, painful, and full of things I do not want to take into the coming month, or any month in the future, for that matter. I feel like a snake, preparing to … Continue reading Saying Goodbye
