It's no secret; I HATE summer. Unbearable heat, humidity, endless days of sun; they simply weren't meant for someone like me. Fall is my favorite season (Two guesses why.), but Winter is a close second. That is why I am relieved to say goodbye to August and hello to the cooler temperatures ahead. This year … Continue reading August Ends

Full Harvest Moon In Aries

2015-09-28 Miss Poison Aries, Full Moon, Wicca, Writing Aries, Autumn, Emotions, Full Harvest Moon, Full Moon, September, Wicca

Tonight is The Full Harvest Moon. It is called the Harvest Moon because at the end of September crops which were seeded in Spring are ready to be harvested. It is the final harvest before Winter, so crops, fruit, and grain would be stored to last through the winter months. The Harvest Moon is very … Continue reading Full Harvest Moon In Aries

I'm starting this the night before (Friday @ 8:30 PM EDT) because I don't know how much writing I'll be able to do tomorrow, mostly because migraines and lack of sleep have plagued my existence the majority of this week. Tomorrow is Case Study #2's birthday. I gave him three potential options for a really … Continue reading Misery Wants Company; But Misery Can Kiss My Ass

Autumnal Equinox

2015-09-23 Miss Poison Autumnal Equinox, God/Goddess, Mabon, Wicca, Writing Autumnal Equinox, Darkness, Fall, God/Goddess, Light, Mabon, September, Wicca, Writing

Today is the Autumnal Equinox when night and day are exactly at equal length. It is also one of the eight Pagan Sabbats, Mabon.

Despite what the Migraine app claims, I slept horribly (hours don't count unless it's quality sleep). Under normal circumstances the fact that I took two Benadryl for my allergies would mean I would have gotten an extra 2-3 hours of sleep. Alas, around 5:00 a.m. I was haunted by Case Study #2. Note To Self: Change … Continue reading Bright, Blue, and Dark

New Moon In Virgo

2015-09-13 Miss Poison New Moon, Writing New Moon, New Moon In Virgo, September, The Moon, Virgo, Wicca, Writing

Tonight is the New Moon in the constellation of Virgo. Earth is going through a major transition at the moment. Dark is taking over light, cold is taking over warmth, and death is taking over life as we speed into Autumn. We will be able to see and feel these energies all around us. We … Continue reading New Moon In Virgo

Reflecting

2015-09-11 Miss Poison Honesty, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, September 11th, Writing Honesty, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Reflecting, September, September 11th, Writing

This morning is one of immense reflection. Those of us who lived through 9/11 and the aftermath have all lived through a monumental aspect of human history. A friend suggested it was merely American history and I said "It affected everyone, no matter where one may live. You don't have to be American to empathize." … Continue reading Reflecting

Someday in the not-too-distant future, holiday weekends such as this one will have more meaning for me. They won't just be about the "official end of summer" or hoisting the flag in a show of patriotism. No one should need a holiday to be proud of where they're from. Unless, of course, Barack Obama is … Continue reading The Long Slow March Towards…More

2014-09-30 Miss Poison Editing, Fibromyalgia, Images/Photos/Quotes, Kittens, Pain, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Work, Writing Cats, Editing, Exhaustion, Naps, October, September, Sleep, Writing

September always sneaks up on me unpleasantly, kind of like the holiday season (If I see one more Christmas decoration, I'll flip my lid!). I'm never fully prepared for it and I am always happy to see it go. October is my favorite month of the year. It reminds me of very happy times in … Continue reading Saying Goodbye To September…
