• Sleep

  Sleep has become one of the most elusive aspects of my life.

  It seems I'm almost always tired now, the fleeting moments when sleep takes me get further and further apart. When I add that to a work schedule that is as odd as mine it makes it even harder. Most days I feel lucky if I get three hours of sleep, some, I beg for even one. I spend hours moving from place to place, lying in the bed, hoping the pain will ease, to trying to write, working to force ideas through the barriers of pain and fatigue. Sometimes I manage one or the other, most days I manage neither.

  Diabetic neuropathy...

  The good news...

  I finally do have medical coverage again, so maybe I can find a doctor who won't just shove pain killers at me.
