This is an essential characteristic of a superhero. To be alert and aware and present.

Not like I have been since Friday..

But today was different. I went to sleep at 1 am last night... thinking "here we go again" just KNOWING that today would be miserable again... But it wasn't! I woke up bright eyed and bushytailed! There can be only 2 reasons for this.

1- I took drugs right before a fell asleep. I try to avoid taking drugs at all costs. I take them if the doc tells me to and I take them when i am in pain and can't handle it. But right before I got o sleep, I figure... I am asleep right? So why force my body onto drugs it doesn't need and could only be addictive and harmful? Well last night I did it. and I think i got the BEST night's sleep because of it. I believe my body was able to rest... So after only 4 hours of sleep, I was ready to go!

2- nope... there is no other reason. It must be the first one.

So when I woke up this morning NOT in pain... I didn't take ANY pain meds! I feel like I know what it going on, and like I can think! it is a glorious feeling.
