I apologize for not writing yesterday. I fully intended to do so, I've had a few things partially fleshed out, but by 8:00 a.m., I was not in a position to do anything. I couldn't even bend down! Something in my lower back popped yesterday morning while I was scrolling through messages on my cell … Continue reading Falling Apart

I went to bed last night with what I consider a "mild migraine". Most of mine are horrific in their intensity, so hopefully this post will help someone. I have suffered from migraines for almost 18 years. I have a family history of migraines, but that's not the case for all sufferers. Technically if someone … Continue reading Migraines: Part One

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've decided that today is going to be a work-free day. I went to bed this morning sick as a dog. I suspect my brief time out yesterday affected me more severely than it ought to. Within a few hours of coming home, I got my fourth migraine of the week. I took a brief … Continue reading As A Direct Result

Fibromyalgia Pain. Chronic Pain. Migraines. They are just a few of the evils that millions suffer from. Some suffer loudly, but many more suffer in dark rooms, alone, in silence. You're screaming on the inside, but you don't make a sound. There is something about the temperature shifting drastically that changes my "Pain Game" to … Continue reading It Doesn’t Get Easier

Maybe it is lack of quality sleep or the fact that I woke up stressed, but this particular Monday is making me ill. The eerie quietness was giving off a lovely early Sunday morning vibe, which was helping calm my nerves...until the mowing and trimming started, AGAIN. I've had a migraine since last night, so the … Continue reading Mondays…The Bane Of My Existence

Beltane Blessings everyone! 🙂 I wish I were able to enjoy this holiday as I once did, but seeing as how it is the anniversary of a loved ones' death, it's still a bitter pill to swallow. Tomorrow is the 7th anniversary of the death of a beloved cat, so I've decided to take it … Continue reading Beltane Blessings To All

Facebook needs to institute a better policy involving "friending". Even with strict filtering, I have people sending me friend requests simply because they like something I've said. Why in the world would you want to be "friends" with someone who is simply the same astrological sign as you, or just happens to also be a … Continue reading How Honest Are People About Their Mental Health?

Sleep issues, for now, seem to be on their way to looking up. I was in bed so early last night, I'm certain every 80+ year old Grandmother was still awake when my head hit the pillow. When sleeping is difficult, it's good to go to bed the second you can no longer keep your … Continue reading Tell Me The Truth; Was I Run Over By A Truck?!
