2017-05-30 Miss Poison Writing Feelings, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing

Though in truth, I think it's the silence and isolation that are part of … Continue reading Today

Almost two weeks ago, after an appointment with the Certified Nurse Practitioner at my doctor's office, I went into the afternoon with one thought in mind: What are my triggers?

I got to spend half of this holiday weekend solo. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy "me time". I was able to enjoy a long walk, a manicure, and have lunch by myself.

Nine years ago today, I lost my mother. I can't always say it out loud, I can't always talk about it, but I honestly have no clue how I've survived this long without her.

*Potential trigger warning* I survived, and I'm always sorry when I do. Always. Last week, a member of my family overdosed on prescription medication. It wasn't painkillers or anything like that. In fact, I have yet to look the drug up, but I do know what it isn't. It's not lethal if you're taking it … Continue reading The Aftermath

Every year, usually around mid-April, is the countdown reminder from every company I've ever done business with, or might do business with in the future, that Mother's Day is fast approaching.
