Manic Monday

My alarm definitely rang too early this morning, thank goodness for snooze; why is it Mondays always come around so soon?

This past weekend I was introduced to a Reiki therapist, I'm not sure I truly experienced the balancing therapy of Reiki but it was definitely intriguing, I came away with 2 stones or friends as she described them--they sit keeping each other company on my desk at home, I wonder what they'll conspire to do for me sitting there.  Whether my first Reiki treatment was successful or not in balancing my energies, I truly feel like it prepared me for the Super Bowl; well, at least my appetite.  It must be true what they say about Super Bowl Sunday--it is second only to Thanksgiving as the day that people eat the most--I stuffed my face prior to kick off then again during the first quarter, followed by yet another snack during half time and topped off by warm, gooey brownies a la mode during fourth quarter!!!  I was most definitely the MVP of eating last night although I don't think that'll get me a victory Camaro like Aaron Rodgers.

So I think it's safe to say that I am feeling MUCH better than a week ago but I continue to have mild lingering symptoms that I don't remember complaining about after my earlier treatments.  I know that I only have one more treatment left but I can tell that I have lost a lot of the optimism and positivity I started out with.  All I can focus on is how completely miserable I will be for the very last time.  At this point, I'm not sure if the continued nausea is from my most recent treatment or anticipatory from the thought of my next and last treatment.  Either way, I hope in another 3-4 weeks this will all be a faded memory.
