It's utterly surreal how much my life has changed in the last eight years. I set out on a specific course, reached a major fork in the road, chose a direction, a dream, and now I am starting over with a dream I've somehow managed to keep hidden in the back of my mind, all … Continue reading Beginnings, Endings, and New Beginnings

Another Sleepless Night

2015-10-012015-10-01 Miss Poison Musings, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Cat and Kitten, Insomnia, Musings, October, Stormy Weather, Strength, Survival, Writing

No, I haven't been to bed yet. Yes, I'm aware it's nearly 8:00 a.m. EDT. No, I don't normally sleep during the day, but the Full Moon leading into the time change screws with me badly. On the plus side, I was pretty productive overnight and this needs to continue until next month. I can … Continue reading Another Sleepless Night

2015-10-01 Miss Poison Baseball, Hockey, Life, October, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, The Future, Writing Change, Fall, Life, My Health, October, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, The Future, Writing

It's not a secret: Fall is my favorite time of year, and October and November are two of my favorite months. October is a birth-pride kind of thing. I don't care if it's sunny year-round in California, because to me, that's hell. Peace is watching the leaves change color. It's not having one or two … Continue reading October, You Glorious Friend

I Hope To See A Cure

2015-09-292015-09-29 Miss Poison Migraines, Pieces Of Me, Writing Doctors, Emergency Rooms, Medication, Migraines, Nurses, Pink Himalayan Salt, Topamax, Writing

I'm sitting here plagued by a migraine I wouldn't wish on a soul, except maybe Hitler, and he was probably soulless, so that puts that concept to rest. Please don't tell me he was "good to his dogs". I've known some horrible people who were good to a cat or good to their dogs; do … Continue reading I Hope To See A Cure

Full Harvest Moon In Aries

2015-09-28 Miss Poison Aries, Full Moon, Wicca, Writing Aries, Autumn, Emotions, Full Harvest Moon, Full Moon, September, Wicca

Tonight is The Full Harvest Moon. It is called the Harvest Moon because at the end of September crops which were seeded in Spring are ready to be harvested.

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

All I want to do is SLEEP. For God's sake, it's Saturday night and I am BEAT. It's meant to be a 'day of rest'. But really, why should my body obey unwritten laws?! Today I completed two writing assignments, decided on a mountain of paperwork for tomorrow when I inevitably won't be able to … Continue reading Rest Alludes Me

I'm starting this the night before (Friday @ 8:30 PM EDT) because I don't know how much writing I'll be able to do tomorrow, mostly because migraines and lack of sleep have plagued my existence the majority of this week. Tomorrow is Case Study #2's birthday. I gave him three potential options for a really … Continue reading Misery Wants Company; But Misery Can Kiss My Ass
