http://www.wimp.com/heres-what-a-teal-pumpkin-on-the-doorstep-means-for-halloween This is a really great idea. So many kids have allergies, especially peanut allergies. 😦 I have allergies and I know it's far worse when you're a child and want to be able to enjoy things normally. I hope some of you will do this. I'm going to look for one.

As I will explain in a future post, I've been having some incredibly bad days (it's been many, many months, actually. I am not pointing any fingers in saying that, life is simply unpredictable as hell.). Some of it is health-related, but the rest is not worth repeating twice, so I'll save it for the … Continue reading Bad Days, Sweet Cats

http://migraine.com/blog/ready-for-ragweed-season/ Apparently, I am NOT. I came home late the other night and my eyes were nearly swollen shut from all the crap in the air. Also, someone had either hit or spooked a skunk, which could be smelled for a good three miles. The fact that I had to take my contacts out three … Continue reading Are You Ready For Ragweed Season?

I'm sitting here, minding my own business, and my pain levels shot from a 4 to a solid 15 in just a few minutes. Has this happened to anyone else out of nowhere?

Sleep doesn't come easily for me these days. In fact, I often wonder how long I can function without sleep. Seemingly I can only sleep when I'm sick, upset, or exhausted beyond words. No one likes wasting time staring at the ceiling. Tossing and turning for hours is overrated and I'm not going to do it. … Continue reading Sleep, Pain, & Stress

I think it's admirable when people say "Keep Fighting", but in actuality, they do not know what you are battling, they do not know your mind, they do not know your heart, and they do not know your breaking point. We all have lines that, once crossed, send us into different modes of survival. It … Continue reading Breaking Point

Hello everyone! I'm sorry that I've been completely and utterly useless for the last few days, which explains my lack of posts. I got slammed by allergies and haven't really been able to function a whole lot. The shift into Spring is difficult for those of us with allergies, especially if you live on the … Continue reading Utterly Useless
