Week 48

 Another week down... this has been a pretty good one. 

 Health-wise, I feel like I'm rocking it. Regularly up for four to five hours, still crashing afterward but had a few days where I didn't crash so very hard as before. Weird thing is I've been waking up earlier... so I'm still crashing around noon but I'm up longer because I got up at 6:30-7:00 instead of 7:30-8:00. 

 I got a packet in the mail this week for a Living with Chronic Illness class that I guess Juno signed me up for. (OK, memory is still not working very well... more on that later). Having look through some of the workbook, I'm bizarrely excited about it. It has a lot of practical advise... like physical exercise I can actually do. I'm looking forward to it (with special thanks to my manager at work for allowing me to take the time for it even though he had to rearrange a project meeting to accommodate me). 

 The one bit of bad news is the ol' brain. I'm still having problems with memory. Now, I'm having worsening problems thinking things through. I can be "reactive" just fine... responding to questions and situations as they come up. Planning and being "proactive" mentally... it's like groping through fog. The connections just don't work. Also, I keep turning the TV off. Really, I'm watching something, I hit pause ('cause streaming) and get up to get a snack. Then I come back, sit down and turn the TV off rather than restarting the episode. Then stare at the screen for a few seconds wondering what went wrong because I groan and turn the TV back on again. 

 So, good progress happening... more progress to be made.
