To 5221: Thank you. You help keep me sane.
I overslept yesterday. The weather was unbearably hot, and I was in no mood to do anything remotely useful. The air conditioning was off and all our windows were open. At several points I remember the thermostat in our house reading something like 28 degrees. So, what did I do? I slept.
When I woke up, it was 4 to 5 hours later from when I last opened my eyes. I had a stiff neck and was feeling damn uncomfortable. I had a ridiculously bad sleep hangover that wouldn’t go away for many hours. Several tylenol didn’t do the trick.
Eventually, the big cure was…more sleep. I woke up this morning feeling a bit better, but the stiff neck still persists. It’s a pain that will fade with time.
Speaking of pains that’ll fade, a few days ago I was hitting another low point. It wasn’t good. This Sunday I hit yet another one. In all honesty, my mind was feeling heavy and hazy yesterday. Top that off with that sleep hangover, man…yesterday was not fun.
It was pointed out by a good friend that I’m constantly hitting these lows with a great frequency, and she was concerned. I’m glad someone showed concern. After a good talk on the phone with her, I don’t know…I’m feeling a bit better. She dragged me kicking and screaming out of that shadowy area and into the light.
I pray for peace of mind. It’s not elusive. It’s there. It’s available. One day, if not today, I will have it.
