Authors' Note: **POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING** Yes, the title is spelled correctly. Yes, it's intentional. Most of my weekends are spent doing things I'd rather not do. The weekends were once my refuge for sleep, quiet, peace, laughter, productivity, cooking, more laughter, and space. They are now filled with rushed moments, trying to pack a lot … Continue reading Every Witch Way, But Mostly Dead

Sunday Night Stress & Strife

2018-04-01 Miss Poison April, Blue Moon April, Blue Moon, Stress, Writing

My weekend didn't go as planned. When things don't fall into place, it's upsetting and more than a little disconcerting. I am hoping the coming week will be better. I definitely have a lot of corrections to make in my life, especially after realizing some things over the past few days. I hope everyone was … Continue reading Sunday Night Stress & Strife

I am really struggling today. 😦 My insurance company denied my doctor's request for an MRI, so even though he got on the phone and argued with them, I received two separate letters "explaining" the denial. They want me to do six weeks of physical therapy … Continue reading Another Caturday

I have long since passed "tired" and have reached a state of pure "painsomnia". No matter what I do, I am in too much pain to sleep properly, if at all. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, I'm not in the correct head-space to allow my body to rest as it needs to. It's twisted when anyone … Continue reading Stressful Sleepless Nights

Not Okay

I'm not okay. I've tried to be, but ultimately, the first person I have to be honest with is myself. If you start lying to yourself, you can convince the entire world that everything's fine while the house burns down around you. Everything is absolutely NOT fine because I am NOT fine. Today was my … Continue reading Not Okay
