Well like the title suggests, I'm having a down spell again. Mom called last night and informed me that my Great Great Uncle Fred passed away on Tuesday. We weren't really close, but we did share our special dances at the family reunions. I'm going to miss that. That news was enough of a weight to break the camels back, or tip the scale over, which ever terminology you prefer to use. Anyway, I cried and cried and felt just awful inside. I fought myself on calling someone, and then I realized I needed to call someone. So I called one of my Chaplains that I'm quite close to. He quoted some scripture, reminded me of the good times, and even had me laughing. I talked to Nick when he was done with dinner, more tears fell. And then I fell asleep and slept the whole night through and only woke at 0430, 0545, and then when my alarm went off at 0620...thats quite an improvement compared to what I'm used to sleeping on that awful mattress in the barracks.
I'm drained, mentally exhausted, physically exhausted, and for some reason my back has decided to start hurting again today despite the fact that I'm on my pain management meds...this vaccums!
I'm so thankful of the awesome support system I have online, on phone, in person! I am so blessed!!

Sorry you had to go through all of that. It sounds like you got some much needed rest though.
Hope thinkgs turn around soon.
