Day Off!!!!

I've been thinking a lot lately about whether I've improved over time. I think the answer is yes. I just remember times in the past when I felt SO SO sick and was so incapacitated. It's not that I never feel really sick anymore, I just think my crashes and relapses occur less frequently and perhaps are slightly less intense.Something that's kind of funny, is that when I'm doing well, I think that I've improved over time. However, if I'm having a bad day or even a bad hour, I think that nothing has changed, I'm as sick as I've been for seven years.But when I look at how much work I've been doing the last few weeks (perhaps over 20hrs a week), I think I must have improved. Don't get me wrong, I really can't exercise much (very short walks where I don't increase my heart rate) and if I'm out of the house for more than 2 hours I feel terrible, but I DO think this is improvement.

For the first time in a long time, I have a day off. I handed in my paper, I taught yesterday (while feeling crashed!) and now I have a day where there's nothing hanging over me. I'm just going to enjoy being at the lake....
