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

Blue Blood SuperMoon In Leo
Tonight is a Blue Moon. A Blue Moon occurs when there are two Full Moons within the same month. This is the second Full Moon of January. The name Blue Moon comes from an ancient word which is 'belewe', which means "to betray", so Blue Moon translates out to Betrayer Moon. Monthly moon phases were … Continue reading Blue Blood SuperMoon In Leo
Fighting Your Internal Dialogue
Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I'm not going to lie; today was a rough one. 😦 I made an appointment sometime last month to meet with a spine specialist (read: anesthesiologist). My new doctor had asked me to meet with the in-house substance abuse doctor as well, so she could prescribe the … Continue reading Fighting Your Internal Dialogue
Works In Progress
The start of each new year is often the same; full of diets, gym memberships, promises to work more, or work less; promises in general are a big thing, and most of these "resolutions" are temporary. They last a week or a month, sometimes two, but very rarely become a new way of living for … Continue reading Works In Progress
Peaks, Valleys, and Being Named
It's disconcerting to be sitting here several years into this platform, and feel less sure of its direction than I did when I started out. 'Poison In Lethal Doses' was my decision to walk away from something that no longer suited me personally or served a greater purpose, and allowed me to return to my … Continue reading Peaks, Valleys, and Being Named
It’s Been A While…
Hello everyone! It's been a little over a month since I last wrote something for this platform. I don't feel the need to apologize, though. Trust me, sometimes it's better for me to be quiet than it is for me to say what I really believe, at the time, is the right thing to say. … Continue reading It’s Been A While…
Empty As A Shell
I have both nothing to say, and a lot to say, so I've chosen to remain silent for the past few weeks. You can never get into trouble by keeping your mouth shut. I sit here tonight, coughing my brains out, questioning how I somehow got sick in twenty-four hours when I've obsessively taken precautions … Continue reading Empty As A Shell
Things I’m Thinking About
Every once in a while, I believe we all slip into a "funk" or a mood we simply can't shake. It then translates into lack of interest in things we'd normally be incredibly involved in. I know where my mood stems from, and why, but nevertheless, it is causing more harm than good. What else … Continue reading Things I’m Thinking About
Follow Your Gut, Because It Doesn’t Lie…
A few weeks ago someone friended me on Facebook. Under normal circumstances I only accept requests from people I know in real life or people I have met via a migraine or Fibromyalgia/ Chronic Pain group. I’ve met some great people who have become good friends almost immediately. Sometimes you click with someone and you’re … Continue reading Follow Your Gut, Because It Doesn’t Lie…
Because He’s My Brother
The past two years have been incredibly hard on my brother. I have no words for what he has been through, or for the things he continues to battle easy day. For the past ten years or so, all we’ve had that we can truly count on, as siblings, is each other. I remember the … Continue reading Because He’s My Brother
