The beginning

Friday night was the first day I did not take my meds. I woke up Saturday feeling good. No sickness at all. I went to work and decided not to have a soda making Friday morning at 6am my last soda. I had more energy on Saturday than I have in a long time. I made it through the day at work without wanting to find the on-call room to take a nap. Which is what I normally think everyday at work that I wish I knew where that room or some other hiding place in the hospital is so I could just take a 10 minute snoozer. Around 3 I did hit a drag which I had expected. I snacked on some Mrs. Barids chocolate frosted donuts (these are so yummy) they do not have High fructose corn syrup in them so I tell myself they are ok to eat. I then came home when I got off work at 4 and stayed up till sometime after 9:30. That is a big thing for me cause normally I will come home and take a 3-4 hour nap then be up all night. Without any soda or meds I was able to stay awake all day. This is not just I lie down to take a nap sleep this is I can not keep my eyes open even if I try sleep.

Today I woke up and went to work only to find out I didn't need to be there. I came home climbed back in bed until time for church which I woke up late for. Rushed out the door and went to church. I had such a great day there. There is a new doctor at the hospital that just so happens to be in our branch and there is a nurse there to I guess I have never seen here at either church or the hospital. Each lesson made me teary eyed and I learned a bunch. For breakfast I ate some life cereal (also does not have high fructose corn syrup). Lunch was a turkey sandwich with more chips than I should have eaten.

Because it is Sunday and I LOVE to take Sunday naps, and I'm feeling a little sleepy I'm going to indulge in a nap. IT IS SUNDAY. I will try very hard not to take naps during the week, but TODAY IS SUNDAY.
