I took some ibuprofen, but I do not think it helped. The pain stopped around 4:30. Then I had trouble sleeping, because my brain was wide awake. Got close to sleep and then small noises would jolt me... Around 6:30, I turned off my alarm. Who was I kidding? there was no way I would get up at 7:00 for church.
I slept 6:45-7:15, and then I woke up again.. something I heard, I guess. Told my friend that I was not going to church. I tried to sleep but struggled. I was stiff, sore, and exhausted. I drifted in the twilight zone. Finally I slept from 8:00-8:30, and I woke up feeling better. I even had a not-bad dream. I tried to sleep more but unfortunately could not. So I got up.
Like I said, I was feeling better. I went downstairs around 9:00, surprising my friend. She expected me to sleep all morning. I wish! I talked to her and sat around. After about 20 minutes, I hit a wall! From doing basically nothing! That kind of exhaustion is so random. That was how my morning went: okay and terrible.
But the afternoon was much better! And the evening was great. :)
