What a difference a good night’s sleep makes. I feel refreshed. The nausea is almost completely gone, but I’m still taking it pretty easy today. I feel like I have more energy and my body doesn’t ache as badly. I almost feel normal, except for the absense of my appetite. As I’m normally starving when I wake up in the morning. So, I’m cautiously optimistic that the worst is over and that by tomorrow I’ll be my normal self.

Hi dears, My course load is a bit insane this week. I have about a billion things due tomorrow–and I’m already booked to work–so I’m attempting to use my time wisely tonight.
