It could have been many things.  It could have been the codeine in my night-time pain pills making me sleep solidly.  It could have been the fact that I got to sleep in yesterday for the first time in...I'm not sure can I count that high.  It could be the fact that my body is finally getting help to fight off this infection.  It could have been the immense satisfaction that comes from eating a big yummy piece of chocolate cake yesterday afternoon.

I don't know what exactly it was, but this morning, when I woke up, I wasn't exhausted!  I felt like I had overslept.  I checked my alarm clock, and when I didn't believe it, I checked my phone.  Nope, it really WAS 6:30, and I felt rested!  Holey crap!

'Course, I still don't feel great.  The pain pills are taking the edge off, but they're not helping as much as I hoped prescription meds would.

But, it's just going to get better.  I keep reminding myself: this pain has an expiration date, now.

And the pre-invasion to-do list is looking pretty promising, as well:

Photos from this last weekend will be loaded tomorrow, probably.  My Boss gave me a HUGE project to do as soon as I got in this morning and I just finished it.
