http://migraine.com/blog/there-are-things-i-want-you-to-know-friend-without-migraine/ Having just started hour 63 into a migraine, I felt this was extremely apropos to share. I often have to excuse myself into dark rooms so I can be sick in complete silence, or tell people I will call them back halfway through a conversation. Sometimes I don't return a call for a week, … Continue reading There Are Things I Want You To Know, Friend Without Migraine

Struggling
It is the early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day here in the States. After spending hours preparing stuffing yesterday (which I highly suspect might suck today), I ended up with a highly stressful day which resulted in a migraine. That then turned into insomnia, which is the only reason I am awake at such an … Continue reading Struggling
Full Frost Moon In Gemini
Tonight is the Full Frost Moon, named as such because the frost and ice will start to set in as the earth grows colder, animals will start to hibernate for the winter months, the last leaves will fall from the trees, and the land will become barren. The Moon is rising in the constellation of Gemini. … Continue reading Full Frost Moon In Gemini
My Apologies

We had one in February, one in March, and today is the third. It is very rare to get three Friday the 13th's in … Continue reading Friday The 13th
Situation Or Depression? There’s A Difference
I had a major meltdown Monday. I can't recall the last time I felt that alone, that isolated from my friends & family, or that upset. I'm certain it's happened before, but Monday was simply too much, too soon, and way too intensely upsetting. I vividly remember scrolling through my contacts list at one point, … Continue reading Situation Or Depression? There’s A Difference
