In the suburbs, it seems that people are always trying to "top" one another by adding on to their homes. In this particular area we all have about the same amount of physical land, but the houses range in size ever so slightly.

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

I've had yet another rough, stressful week. I am emotionally exhausted. I'm also in pain that no one should have to be in. In an ideal world, I'd be able to curl up this weekend and not have to face anything until next weekend. No, I'm not delusional, I've just had enough. I am sitting … Continue reading This Week Is Over

The best laid plans. 😦 I was in so much pain yesterday that I decided a "quick nap" was in order around 1:00 PM. We will not discuss that I slept way too long. In turn, I didn't get any editing done. I fed cat and kitten because they were both staring at me pathetically, … Continue reading How Did Your Day Go Yesterday?

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.
