Taking my shot just before I went out for the night was a great Idea. I was able to go about my evening, do what I wanted to do and needed to do, and now after my night is at its end, I am feeling the shot begin its effects. My back is aching and my body is beginning to feel yuck, but I am so tired from the rest of the day, that soon I should be able to pass out fairly quick. who Knows what the rest of the next couple of days have in store for me, all I know is that today I feel good. Not so much physically, but mentally.

I feel a rush of warm fuzzies from taking action and just going with my gut on doing my shot when I did. I was hesitant, what if I started to feel bad. Well thats the beauty of it all, I have friends that would of helped me out if things got bad. If I would of started to really feel sick then I have a few friends that would of helped me get spencer home, and get me home. All I would of needed to do next was get past "Myself" and humble myself for the help.

I was starting to get shaky and the sweats during my meetings tonight, but I held on. I was getting kind of irritated at small things, but I held on. There was some moments that I had a hard time concentrating and understanding what others were trying to tell me. But I held on. and I jsut flowed with the night like a feather in a soft windy breeze. And now I am at home, safe and ready to take a couple tylenol to rid these aches, drink lots of water to liquify my body, and pull up a big piece of my blanky and snuggle deep into its warmth....

I better get going now, I am very sore around the shoulders. They feel really tight so I better stop typing. Its not smart to over do it.
