I don’t know about some of you, but I suffer from bad nights. I sometimes get severe muscle cramps that keep my up all night until 4 or 5 in the morning and leave me so exhausted I cannot function very well the next day. Last night was like that. I was so tired today I slept till about 2 pm today. I got up and took a shower and felt more like myself. I hate days like this. I know it was because I did not eat any bananas all week – it has to be because when the body does not have enough potassium it causes muscle cramps. I am kicking myself in the butt because I was not watching out for myself this week. I have to constantly remind myself “I come first” – I have to take care of myself before I can take care of anything else. I did not tell my sister, she did not look like she wanted to talk today when she got home from work. I guess I will just talk to my blog and get it off my chest.

I am going to school full time and I have to stay healthy and well. If I don’t take care of myself, I cannot do school and school is very important to me. It pays to listen to your body. My body punished me last night and I paid for it dearly.

The weather is changing too. I can feel it in my body. My skin on the left side of my body hurts sometimes. I feel like I have ice water running in my veins 24 hours a day. Not a great feeling, but I am going to remain positive about this — I will not be so negative about the fall and winter seasons here.
