Fatigue sets in...



Drowning in the tiredness
of restlessness and extreme fatigue
Washing myself in the exhaustion of
breathlessness and loss of consciousness
looking forward to
when the day does end
when I can finally say
goodnight my friend
And taking the hand
of dreams of sleep
and not waking up
until next week.

So I've paced myself, but I haven't realized that its not all about pacing. When you say the word "PACE" you are describing movement and doing something at a slow and steady rate of momentum. But I need to realize that some of my days, "These lovely Treatment Tiring Days" need to consist and be filled with, sometimes, no momentum. I need the rest, and if need be take a nap, close my eyes. It was and is great thinking, positive perseverance. It is an awesome attitude and the attitude that will need to stay in tune with. I will not lose this smile in my soul. But I must sit back and relax. No Momentum sometimes. Progress not perfection. I guess they say you should try to learn somthing new each and every day, I learned today to take a nap and not push myself too far. I still have to go drive and pick up my friend. I am so grateful to know that he said he will be ready when I go down and pick him up. He understands what I am going through, and cares, and completely knows that my day has been long and I need to get back home here to shake hands with my dreams.
