Well my restless leg syndrome is obviously against me. Instead of nicely occurring between the hours of 8 to 10 at night this past week it occurred from about 10:30 to 1:00 ish and in full force. On Friday morning, as I was getting ready for work, I was looking at my sheets and noticed that there was a hole in my sheets at my feet. Granted we just put new sheets on Friday before we left for NY so I had only slept in the bed for 5 nights. D saw it and started getting concerned and said that I was manic. He was joking of course but that is how bad it gets. It is not as bad if it occurs between 8 to 10 at night because I can get up and move around but who wants to get up at 12 and walk around a cold house in your pajamas. I am tired of it and nothing is working. Additionally, the morning is the most calm period but having other obligations and being a morning person does not allow me to make up that sleep in the morning. Thankfully I only have a few more weeks, hopefully, and it will substantially subside. So I am completely tired and sleep does not feel like a pleasant activity anymore. I just dread it and wait for it to go away so that I can really sleep. It even occurs if I try to take an afternoon nap. At least I am getting ready for the sleep deprivation now. At this point I would rather be woken up by a crying hungry baby every 2 to 3 hours then try to go to bed only to have to move my legs every 20 seconds.
Things I am grateful/thankful for:
-this is a venting post so I am not very thankful right now.
-a temporary condition, is all I can say.
