I am still sleeping in small intervals but at least I am sleeping an hour more, from 2 hours to 3 hours. It has to be the zyprexa that is causing the early morning waking. I don’t mind so much because I like the quiet of the morning, the way that the sun starts to touch the trees and the field behind me and the smell of the cool air. Jack likes it too, he sits outside and enjoys watching people getting into their cars and going off to work.

Jack’s routine in the morning is to jump off the bed with me as I get up and make my coffee.  He waits for me to put some dry food in his dish and he eats the tiniest bit and then as I get ready to go sit on the couch he runs to the sliding door for me to let him out.  Then he sits and watches the world 6 stories below.  While he sits outside I keep the door open and let the cool morning air in.

It’s time for me to go and see what Jack is up to and another cup of coffee.  I am working today and then I need to try and put together a website for a company that makes steel and stainless steel shapes.  Sounds like fun!

I will say that the extra hour makes a difference in how I feel with the fibromyalgia.  I am not as achy as I have been for the past couple of weeks.  I am hoping that I can get more sleep.  I will probably take a nap later today like I have the past couple of days.  Even my naps are short.

I am off to face the day.
