On Sunday night, we had a friend over for a visit.
We made a super simple dinner, we sat at the table, then moved to the living. We chatted for a long time, but it was a relaxing evening.
In light of my current flare-up, I continued with soft foods that are easy to digest, as well as water and tea.
That night I had a tough time sleeping. From pain, from digestive issues, from my mind racing and general body discomfort.
I did eventually get to sleep and stayed in bed for as long as I could, but when I woke up I felt utterly hungover. My eyes were incredibly puffy and bloodshot, my headaches were terrible, my nausea & stomach pain & digestive symptoms were through the roof, and I felt like I had lifted weights for an extended period of time.
Then, fast forward to the evening, once my bedtime medication kicked in, I finally felt better. Everything just settled right down (apart from the arthritic pain)....
So now I am awake at 2am, my mind going hundreds of miles a minute, my body alert and aching to be active...
So I didn't sleep well Friday night, Saturday night, and I am obviously not sleeping well now... I may very well resemble a zombie tomorrow, but my to-do list for tomorrow is actually pretty extensive and begins at 6:45am with an injection. Otherwise it is mostly phone calls and emails and research and music, but still, I am doubtful that I will be in a productively functioning mental state.
Bah.
