Welcome to all the new readers, and those who've been with me for years or months. 🙂 I'm happy to greet you all.

The Most Important Reason

Quote 2021-02-092021-02-10 Miss Poison Quotes Happiness, Holly Mosier, Peace of Mind, Quotes, Stress

“The most important reason for your “no” is that you need your downtime so you won’t behave like a jerk because you’re depleted. And you don’t want to battle an appetite spiked by the stress of over-commitment. But that’s your secret; others don’t need that information. So just smile, say no, thank you, and keep … Continue reading The Most Important Reason

I intended to write something specific today, but my mood is bringing me deep down. That's when I know I need a break, a distraction, and perhaps a six month long vacation away from daily stressors and triggers. Alas, I settled for a stack of good books. When you're writing about certain topics, it is … Continue reading Stressors and Triggers

This is my favorite season and favorite time of year, but after an emotional, rage-filled moment yesterday, I am questioning EVERYTHING in my life. To be fair to myself, I reacted via a triggering comment made to me, and new medication that, without my knowing in advance, causes people to occasionally react in a volatile … Continue reading October

I'm still not doing too great post-treatment. I'm either sleeping too little or too much, and the amount of pain I am in may last another 7-10 days.

After folding clothes, tossing things, setting things aside for another time, and searching high and low, I finally locate the missing cord.

Today was a rough one for me. I did what I could (which was very little. I ended up going back to sleep out of sheer stress and frustration, paired with poor sleep and nightmares.), made a great dinner, and when it came time to backing my laptop up, guess who couldn't find the second … Continue reading Seriously?!
