I’m surviving terrible sleep through volume. I was up for about 3 hours throughout the night, but somehow managed to sleep late. Thank goodness. We had some good rain overnight, so that always helps lull me back to sleep. Spine pain feels better today. That pain level went from a 9 to maybe a 7. Fibromyalgia has not tracked the same yet. That usually takes some time to follow. I’m supposed to meet my family today for a birthday celebration. Any bets on if I’m able to make it or not? I missed my own birthday dinner last year, and my uncle’s birthday last month.
I’ve been limping through the day so far. This will be a recovery day at best. I feel so tired and exhausted. I desperately need some good quality sleep. I’ll take the large quantity of bad sleep over the non-existent sleep I got last week, but I really need the recovery that only good sleep provides. Maybe I’ll try for a nap today. That very rarely ends up happening though.
I made it to the birthday dinner, but boy am I paying for it. It upended my entire day. I was only able to manage about 30 minutes of acting like a normal human being before I completely lost my shit and had to leave. The pain and fibromyalgia became so overwhelming, so fast. I got to seem some family and I actually ate well for a change. Straight home and on an ice pack with ibuprofen and the never ending hope that I recover somehow.
