NIKKI’S GUEST POST:

Today was a drug holiday… Enough said. It’s always weird to take one for me. I always forget what it’s like. I don’t want to think about how many naps I had and the things I had hoped to get done.

It’s interesting how some people see a nap as a treat and I see it as I would be very happy to never take another one as long as I live. It’s no longer a pleasure when it becomes a necessity.

But it is times like these that I am actually proud, I get the unique opportunity to experience life in ways that most don’t. I understand and savor the win even more at the end of fighting through the day. It’s not just a fight to stay awake, a fight to stay sane and with reality, its a fight for life and I am very grateful The Lord has given me another day to do just that.
