My first cup this morning may or may not have been with another one of our desserts from our dessert tasting the other night.
The first cup was after gathering up the laundry, sorting and then starting a load. I tend to start the coffee brewing while I do other things while I wait… letting the aroma fill the house. Then go back and pour myself a cup.
I let the aroma fill my soul as I breathed in. The first sips were amazing and paired with the black tie cake…mmm. Yeah.
I did fall asleep fast last night… on Scott’s shoulder… on the couch. I don’t know when I stirred enough to realize I needed to be in bed, but that was my only goal. I had a hard time getting myself to bed, and my poor husband came to my rescue. The pill had taken full effect, and I stumbled and tripped and collapsed on the steps, not being able to voice anything because all I could think was ‘I just need to get into bed’. The cloudiness of deep sleep. He got me into bed, and then I felt like I was on fire from heat (tempature sensitivity is a constant struggle as I think I was freezing maybe an hour before)….coughing like crazy, not able to cool down… he came to my rescue again, grabbing my puke bin as he knows me coughing too much, has the potential for me gagging. Poor guy, he’s still asleep as I’m sure my state last night kept him up for a while. I am so grateful for him. I will give him kisses and thank him when he wakes for taking such good care of me. I wish I could say this won’t happen again, but we both know the unpredictable nature of MS and my fatigue… it sucks.
I wasn’t sure I wanted to share the above as it’s things that are scary and some of the real side of MS. I may look fine, I may look normal and even able to be social like I was earlier in the day yesterday. But my body is constantly fighting against me. Constantly struggling. It also puts so much emotional and physical strain on my loved ones too.
But, I will continue to fight and I will continue to get myself back up.
My second cup, now almost gone and now cold, saw me change the laundry, pick up a bit and then start some research. I’m in planning stages for something I’ll announce later this week.
I am going to go grab myself another cup, change the laundry again and listen to my happy acoustic celtic music as I plan.
Happy Sunday Cups My Friends 🧡 ☕️
