I HURT. There's no getting around that. After nearly two straight weeks where I haven't missed a single dose of Topamax, a migraine broke through last night. I was waiting for it. I expected it. It wasn't nearly as bad as a migraine without a preventive in my system, but after almost two weeks with … Continue reading Irritability Isn’t Cute

Endings Are Abstruse…

Quote 2015-08-092015-08-09 Miss Poison Quotes Beauty, Beginnings, Broken, Chirag Tulsiani, Courage, Disturbance, Endings, Exhaustion, Hope, Mending, Quotes, Tension, Time, Transition

“Endings are abstruse, mystic and unreal. They are but depleted beginnings purposed to be substituted with newer ones. A transition of outlook and time, similar to our differing moods before and after slumber. Before the act we witness an exhaustion, a sulkiness but on gaining consciousness, we’re rejuvenated and good-humored. The wakefulness is the new … Continue reading Endings Are Abstruse…

Mondays bring forth a lot of stress and anxiety. Fridays? Not so much. In fact, I feel calm that the week has come to an official end. I'm looking forward to putting up a load of laundry, eating dinner, and eliminating an hour or two off my DVR. I spent a huge portion of my … Continue reading Friday Musings

It’s Hard Not To Feel…

Quote 2015-07-24 Miss Poison Quotes Exhaustion, Misogyny, Quotes, Roxane Gay

“It's hard not to feel humorless, as a woman and a feminist, to recognize misogyny in so many forms, some great and some small, and know you're not imagining things. It's hard to be told to lighten up because if you lighten up any more, you're going to float the fuck away. The problem is … Continue reading It’s Hard Not To Feel…

The Best Part

I grasp the whole "I'm alive" concept, but when you're not sleeping well and you just want a few days where you sleep until the sun is high in the sky, waking up when it's still dark outside is fucking annoying. I desperately want to go back to bed! 😦

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 woke up from a dream this morning that could have doubled as the weirdest movie EVER. Or a book. In fact, I'll be writing it down later since my dreams revert back to a clearer picture within a certain amount of time. Rule #1- Never share your writing ideas. I'm exceptionally exhausted and in … Continue reading Emerging From The Cave

UGH! Yes, that's what I have to say. I'm tired, because apparently "crack of dawn" in my house means "We're all awake Mommy! Don't you want to feed us?" Mmm...not so much. LOL. After truly forcing myself to get things done yesterday, today barely feels like a Sunday. It is quiet, thankfully, and there's supposed … Continue reading Blame It On The Pain

I went to bed exhausted, I woke up more exhausted than when I originally went to bed. Lately, there never seems to be enough sleep. I found myself wanting to nod off for four hours yesterday, but when I finally committed myself to "a nap", I ended up reading for over three hours. I hadn't … Continue reading Exhausted To The Bone

When someone brings you two pies, each covered in chunks of Oreo cookies, with an Oreo cookie crust, and whipped cream as the filling to this confection, do you ignore this sugary delight before you (Especially when you've had minimal sugar for months on end.) or do you blissfully enjoy a few bites? I have … Continue reading Pie For Breakfast
