Day Thirty Five: Flare Up Day

Published on October 13, 2025 at 11:23 PM

Rough, rough day today. I couldn't sleep last night, like at all. My jaw was hurting and then the ac was turning off at times which kept waking me up every half an hour. It was a miserable night. MISERABLE. Now I've had a headache all day, I threw my back out when I was carrying in some groceries, and I am just a bit sick of this day. I just want to be done with feeling this way. 

I don't even know what I can even do to make me feel better. It's too many things happening at once and I'm just over it. But that's the price of having chronic illness... 

So today I didn't write too much, only about 300 words but that's okay because I've been writing a bunch every day for the last week. It's okay that I needed a chill day. Like I didn't even exercise today which I have been enjoying doing. But I just really didn't want to this morning when I got up and I physically felt unable to do it either. 

Maybe if I go to bed at a decent time tonight then I will feel better tomorrow and can get back to getting stuff accomplished. It's okay to need rest, it's a part of the process. I can't create without resting and I need rest from creating. And that's okay. 

It is so hard to allow myself to rest but I'm really trying to do this now.
