Squeezed into tight places
my blanket swallows me with warmth
what is uncomfortable with open eyes
fades away with the moonlight
the achiness
the exhaustion from too much fatigue
Leaves me with an option of one choice
As I fall with happy thoughts
into my dreams of desired sleep....

My dreams are my friend. My blankets are my battalion that help for me to fight against the cold. There is nothing like a good snuggle with the blankets wrapped tight to help cure your achy joints. That and some Tylenol. My head remains best friends with my pillow. This is the bulk of my activity for today. This is fine with me. I really don't have the energy to argue against this feeling anyway. My eyes are tired, my body is sore. But I am flowing with the sands of time. Why fight it? I let go and move on. Other than all the normal uggh-ish feeling, I am doing okay emotionally, as well as mentally.

I'm handling it by not fighting it.

And this too shall pass....


Long night. Good night. Tiring night.

Did my usual friday night. As i stated in yesterdays little journal of mine, the side effects went as I thought they would. throughout the evening I Got the little "my hands start to shake" ,not noticably but I can feel it. I got the sweats, had the foggy mind. Got the achy joints and the uncomfortable ugghish feeling. But I went about my evening. Why destroy a good night when inside your body feels not up to par. And it was a beautiful night full of positive vibes. Energy that I truly needed to breathe in. There is nothing like swallowing the flow of all around positve energy that flows around my friends somedays. And yesterday was one of those days.

I persevered thru a long night and now it's A.M. in the morning on Saturday. I am tired and ready for bed.

I need the sleep. I need to sleep. It's been a long night and I will sleep away the day but thats okay.
