Today has been a tough day for me. Last night I didn’t get to sleep until well after 2:30am. Thankfully my hubby didn’t have to work today due to the holiday. I woke up at 4am, 5:30am, 6am and then I think it was around 8am when I noticed Dave wasn’t in bed and I went back to sleep again. Around 9am ( I think) I felt our daughter lay her stuffed giraffe in bed next to me and whisper, “here mommy.” I slept a little while longer and finally got up at 10:45am.
You’d think I’d feel great, but I felt like I had no sleep at all. Hubby had closed the bedroom door so I could maybe get some sleep as he could tell I’d been tossing and turning. He saw Em sneak in the room and give me her giraffe. I made sure to give her an extra tight hug, kiss and a thank you for her sweet gesture of offering me her giraffe to cuddle.
Dave was a trouper today. He watched after Em, did dishes and other stuff and let me try to rest. I spent nearly the entire day in my jammies and crocheted some tiny roses for the Epilepsy awareness ribbons I plan to give out for Global Purple Day. Still, I felt like I’ve been run over by a truck. No energy and zapped of any happy feelings.
Maybe it’s partially due to the weather. It’s been gloomy and rainy all day and that could be kicking my fibromyalgia into high gear. However several times this evening I’ve cried (hid it from hubby though). I’m not sure why I feel so down today/tonight. I’m hoping it’s not a side effect of the generic keppra rearing it’s ugly head. I know that depression can be a side effect, but was hoping I wouldn’t experience it. We’ll see. As I said it could just be the weather triggering my fibro. That and my lack of sleep the past few days.
I just looked at the clock and see it’s just after midnight now. I thought I’d be in bed long before this. Uhg. So I’ll end here and try to get some rest. Hopefully this is just a brief passing thing and I’ll feel better tomorrow.
Hugs to all,
