Hey, Miss J!

I’m nearly completed with writing Chapter 18.

Finally.

Thank goodness.

I woke up after 1PM today and didn’t get moving until around 2PM.

That is horrible timing.

Before the Gabapentin, I couldn’t sleep so well. What’s so strange about it is that I don’t feel tired, but when I do go to sleep… I sleep… like I’m in a coma.

The searing agony I feel when I wake up in the middle of my sleep cycle makes me want to go back to sleep again.

It’s in my back.

Sometimes in my hips.

Other times, I have pain and weakness in my knees.

Sometimes… like Thursday – I wake up with one arm burning, tingling and feeling numb.

I feel defeated that so much of my day is now lost to sleeping… It’s irritating to not be able to get up and do what I want.

I’m hopeful that tomorrow morning, I can get done what I need to.

For now, I’m going to finish Chapter 18 of Navigating the Curve and get it up. I want to just write up the ending of the fic and shove it together and upload… then call it a day and just abandon the story itself.

But… Then I think about how much I enjoy re-reading my chapters. And it does feel good that my readers like my writing.

I can’t enjoy Navigating the Curve at all if I just dump it off like that.

So, I’ll be looking at the plan I have for the fic and see where I can start squeezing some nuggets in.

That’s it for now!

Amazing how all of this discomfort has taken my mind off of how depressed or anxious I am. There is that.
