3 hours short of 5 days of freedom!

I had to fill you in on my day.  Yesterday was nothing short of hell, as those who have been holding me strong, know.  Worst ever.  I slept for a few hours.  Have been up since one am.  Sleep is still kicking my ***.  However I've been functional enough to:  finish my huge proposal, treadmill for 20 minutes, drink two Ensures, a bowl of cereal with a banana (and keep it down) AND sell a 6 figure deal to my state's economic development group in an unplanned 1 hour-plus call.  So..I guess my brain still does work.  However now I'm completely spent.  It's near 80 today and my son is laughing at my flannel pjs, warm socks and two sweatshirts.  But it's all okay.  I accomplished stuff today.  And you know what I think made all the difference in the world?  FEEDING MY BODY.  Renee pushed me.  So I'm pushing you. Whoever you are in these first 5 days of WD.  Feed yourself. Ensure has been my life saver.  Now I'm going to try to rest a bit.  Good luck with that, right?  waz
