I am mired in a bit of a slump, shortly after that optimistic update of my progress. Day 40 was accompanied by a guest - persona non grata. I am into flare #5. After 2 weeks of calmness and coolness - I thought the end was imminent - the storm is once again brewing up. My neck is getting red, tight and uncomfortable. The same can be said of the flexures on my arm. My mouth and nose got pretty troublesome too. That dreadful feeling is back. Fitful sleeps resulting from vivid dreams and frequent wakefulness at night - I will be starting work next week!
Malapropos much!
The past two weeks coincided with a surge in confidence and optimism. Hope the next two won't bring me down and out.
"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people."
