Out Of Sorts, And Then Some…

I'd like to thank the two people who reached out to me with messages of encouragement, respect, and kindness after my last post about how horrible I am feeling (My feelings have only worsened.). Steven & Tasha; your words genuinely helped me and, from the bottom of my heart, they meant the world to me. … Continue reading Out Of Sorts, And Then Some…

Full Wolf Moon In Cancer

Tonight will be the first Full Moon of the year. It is called the Wolf Moon because at this time, hungry wolves would howl up to the big, bright January Moon outside towns and villages. It is also called the Cold Moon, Winter Moon, and the Old Moon. The word January comes from the Roman … Continue reading Full Wolf Moon In Cancer

The Ledge

I'm on the verge of letting go today. There's no way to pretty it up or sugar-coat the amount of pain I am in, both physically and emotionally. I've had enough. Reached the boiling point. Feel as though I am trapped in a maze of never-ending bullshit, and I cannot take another second of this. … Continue reading The Ledge

Personal Year In Review

I wish I had fabulous things to share here as I look back on 2016, the year itself as a complete "body of work", as opposed to how I genuinely feel about it.

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.

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.

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. However, Fibromyalgia Brain Fog, also commonly referred to as "Fibro Fog", has really done a number on me this month. It was slowly progressing, but now I feel dumber than a box of rocks with twelve piles of shit … Continue reading Brain Problems
