Dreams of sleep


Into the night I crawl

Into my sleep I dream

These tired eyes of mine

Close gently soft

As I say goodnight

"Fabulously Fatigued"


A long day. It's almost 7pm. I'm feeling sick. a tickle of all around yuckiness. I don't know if it is because I have stayed up all day. I tried to take a nap, but although my body is tired and the loveliness of my soul is fatigued, I still couldn't seem to drift away.

I am about to go to my meeting. I'm sure it is going to feel longer than it actually will be. I was beginning to start to have a headache, so I took some tylenol, but most importantly I ate something. The whispers of the headache seem to be still lingering around. I guess it will keep me company for a little bit. I can't wait to come home a fall into my dreams.

The After Shock

Throw your body into the ring and what would you expect to happen. I slept good last night. Of course, I did my waking up to go to the lovely lavatory, but otherwise I slept all night. My muscles and my body feel the after effects of my long day yesterday. I will take a tylenol and move on with the day. I did have nausea and the icky beginnings of a small tingling headache this morning when I arose for the day, but I ate a little something and now I feel somewhat better. My chest is starting to feeling sick. Just in a way that you would feel if you were sick and coughing for 3 days straight,Then the next day you just had a yucky chest feeling. I have had the starting of a small little-tiny-itsy-bitsy cough over the last couple days. I'm not sure if this is the cough that the nurse told me to watch for. It is so little and sparsed that It doesn't seem to be that important, but I'm not in the best health to be just letting go of everything, I'm also not a doctor so this isn't my field of expertise. It might be, or It just might not be something important. I will see if it gets worse in the next day or so.

I'm also going to be careful today. I have a few things I should get done around the house here, and also I have things to do, like my A.A. meeiting tonight. So what I am planning on doing is doing those few things around the house this morning, then lay down for A little bit to relax my soul, and then wake up and meander on with the rest of the day. It's nice I took this time off of school, because it gives me the opportunity to "Trial and Error" what works for me and what doesn't. What a beautiful day. A lovely day. A day full of warmth and smiles.
