A few weeks ago someone friended me on Facebook. Under normal circumstances I only accept requests from people I know in real life or people I have met via a migraine or Fibromyalgia/ Chronic Pain group. I’ve met some great people who have become good friends almost immediately. Sometimes you click with someone and you’re … Continue reading Follow Your Gut, Because It Doesn’t Lie…

Of late, I've noticed people feel incredibly safe behind their computer-based bubbles, but I often wonder how real people are being. Sometimes, stories don't add up (You can't bullshit me, I have common sense.), and other times, it takes about two seconds for someone to get offended by the simplest thing. What is that you … Continue reading There’s A Difference

I'm in an ugly mood. I think I went to bed that way, to some extent, which only partially explains my nasty mood this morning. I (almost) never lock my cats out of my bedroom, but when they started their petition to shove me out of bed around 5:00, I silently got up, put grain … Continue reading Moody Musings

I have no idea why Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have become my favorite days of the week, but lately, I just can't handle week days. Does anyone else feel like this? I've had a rough week. I've been in a lot of pain and have required way more sleep than any single person my age … Continue reading It’s Friday, Let’s Celebrate!

I have just spent nearly seven hours trying to prove to Facebook that I'm a REAL person and not a computer in India. No, I am not kidding about that last part.

I think I make myself incredibly clear. Clear to the point of overly repetitive! I'm starting to think I should come with a warning label, because some people are so stupid they cannot read the simplest of statements. If you read my editor's profile I strictly state that I will NOT do sample edits. I … Continue reading Apparently, Some People Can’t Read Warnings…

I am tired in a soul-deep, bone-deep way that I can’t quite explain. I know it is borne out of doing too much, too fast, without proper rest. Sometimes I forget that I have limitations due to Fibromyalgia/Chronic Pain and I simply want my normal life back. In turn, I suffer for every move I … Continue reading Thoughts Through Other Eyes

I openly admit that social media annoys me. You can pretty much guarantee you will never see me using Twitter. I adamantly refuse. If you cannot read and follow it here, you don't need to see it in an alternate place. I have a minor addiction to Pinterest, which has waned a bit in the … Continue reading The Power Of Social Media
