Any guesses where I started off my day at?
The Dentist!
And, It snowed.
Seems about right for my life.
Thankfully nothing terrible happened at the Dentist this time, I just needed a refill of my antibiotics and the Dentist gave me a steroid for the inflammation, since I can't take NSAIDS. (Allergic)
So I got up an hour and a half earlier than normal to be ready for the dentist and then my first two students cancelled from sickness. SO I got a lot of stuff done!
I took my first steroid pill in the afternoon and was teaching and was still tired and thought, oh these aren't making me as awake as they usually do.
Then 8:00 pm hits, my last students leave and I think, hmm.. I think I'll tackle and clean my mess of a laundry room.

I think they were effective.
So effective that I didn't fall asleep until 3:45 am Tuesday morning.
And that was after only taking ONE pill
It did not bode well for the rest of the week.
Tuesday I soldiered on, with my 6 hours of sleep.
Wednesday morning I woke up at 4:45.
And could not fall back asleep.
I finally got up, showered, and placed a to go order on Dunkin Donuts App. I was out of my house and getting coffee before it was light outside.
I'm sure my neighbor wondered what the emergency was for me to leave that early. HA!
By the time my first students were coming at 1:30, I had already drank coffee and had moved on to Coca Cola.
I look way more alert than I felt. Thank you makeup!
Thursday morning was AGAIN another early wake up at 4:45. 5 hours of sleep two nights in a row was not working well for me. I didn't teach until later, but i had to keep moving or I was going to fall asleep. So I worked a ton on my computer, went grocery shopping, and then decided I was going to finally paint the sofa table i had rescued from the trash when my annoying neighbors moved.
It should be noted that it was FINALLY WARM that day!! I wore jeans to grocery shop and had to come back home and find some shorts and sandals to wear. I loved the first day of teaching with the window open! And no one mowed! YAY!!
It was glorious!!
but don't worry, it snowed again on the weekend!
The mostly finished product. not too shabby for a 3.00 can of oops paint!
Look at how warm it is!
At this point I was waiting for my last student of the night and I was just about delirious. I was so tired. I legit almost fell asleep during her lesson. She left at 8:30, I'm pretty sure i was in the shower before she was out of my neighborhood. I was in bed by 9:15 and thanks to the Almighty Lord I slept a glorious 11 hours that night! And was still exhausted the next day. Unfortunately when you have a chronic illness like myself, lack of sleep can have ill effects on you. By Friday night I was really not feeling well. I spent all of Saturday and the majority of Sunday feeling like crud. Thankfully by Sunday night my flare up was subsiding and I was looking forward to joining the world again on Monday. Well Rested!
