I had a crappy night sleeping last night. I stayed up till 0400 as I just couldn’t sleep. I wasn’t in pain. My brain just wouldn’t turn off and I was kind of hyper. My meds some times puts me into overdrive, especially when I am overtired.

I slept like every 3 hours before I decided to get up. I wanted to take a shower and go to Walgreens to get a box of cereal I have been craving. I did ok with the shower. I wasn’t tired afterwards but did have to cool off some as it’s very humid today. I didn’t think I would be able to go to the store but I did. I didn’t wear my AFO because I wanted to see if there was a difference in my pain. After I had therapy, I walked to the post office to drop off her letter with just my sandals on. I did ok, though my ankle throbbed on the way coming home. I think I am back in the game. I am not in severe pain and I hope that this continues. I think all the resting finally paid off, even if my ankle bone is the size of a golfball.

I had therapy today. She kept on commenting on how I got 8+ hours of sleep the night before. That hasn’t happened in so long. But it didn’t happen last night. And I don’t think it will happen tonight as I have to wake up early tomorrow to watch my niece. I have her all day tomorrow. Should be fun as long as the AC holds out. My sister wants me to take her to the library but we’ll see on that. It will be very draining for me to take on such an excursion as we will need to take two buses to go. We’ll see how my pain holds up during the night. If I am feeling like I did today, there might not be a problem. Course, that is if I get enough sleep tonight.

I got a thank you card today from Dr. David Jobes, my favorite suicidologist. I thought it was really sweet that he took the time to write to me. He thanked me for sending my book and talking about his work. Also said that he remembers me from the time we met in Boston at the 41st annual AAS conference. That really made my day, getting a card from him. My therapist doesn’t know this yet. She has to wait till Thursday, our next session, to find out. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the return address. I was freaking out.

I told someone on twitter I was going to be watching the All star game tonight. I can hardly keep my eyes open anymore. So on that note, I will sign off for today.
