It's hard to believe tomorrow is February, but it's harder still to believe how sick I am. This virus is no joke. A few days and I'll feel better? Not so much. Third bottle of cough medicine. Insomnia and parasomnia. The overall feeling this will not go away because it was a misdiagnosis on top … Continue reading Wondering When It Gets Better
Being Sick
Ultimate Guide To Letting Go…
I apologize for not being able to write this weekend, as intended. I've been suffering a few weeks now, not knowing exactly what was wrong. I hadn't been exposed to anyone, so I was more in the mindset that maybe my migraine treatment was not working, which can happen. It's not an exact science and … Continue reading Ultimate Guide To Letting Go…
Happy Thanksgiving 2019
Wishing every one of you the start of a lovely holiday season. 😁 Thanksgiving is EXTREMELY controversial, for obvious reasons, but I remember family gatherings and I'm missing a LOT of people today. Thankfully, I woke up to messages from my brother and my best friend, who is the sister I always asked for. … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving 2019
Sharing Color
I've been having a terrible, rough time of late. I started writing about it, and was too sick to finish what I was writing, but I'll get there. As we head into this excruciatingly hot weekend (115 degrees with heat, heat index, and high humidity, as well as a few nights in the 90s), I … Continue reading Sharing Color

You Never Plan For This
There's nothing more unpretty than me when I'm sick. I don't just mean looks-wise, I mean in the miserable troll sense. I'm a terrifying, sleeping dragon on a good day, but when I'm sick I'm the three-headed dog from Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone. I take a lot of precautions to avoid getting sick. … Continue reading You Never Plan For This
Utterly Useless
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
It Doesn’t Feel Like A Saturday
Perhaps having a stressful week and being sick has made me feel like today is Friday, instead of Saturday. It's disorienting. The sunrise looked more like a sunset, so incredibly stunning in blues and pinks. I have little interest now though in watching the actual sunset. I think it's just laziness. I completed a job … Continue reading It Doesn’t Feel Like A Saturday
Praying For Sleep
It is about four hours past the time my body said "Feed me!". I have maniacally proofread and critiqued a novella until I thought I'd pull my own hair out of my head. I'm certain that high quality brain cells are now gone, never to be heard from again. All day today I kept saying … Continue reading Praying For Sleep
Okay, Here’s The Deal…
Fall is still in "full bloom". The trees are lush with color, but there aren't a lot of completely leaf free trees, mine included. Naturally, this is right about the time when I might get sick. It's slowly been affecting me for about a week now, but I kept saying "Oh, the time is about … Continue reading Okay, Here’s The Deal…
