3:51 a.m.

My sleep schedule is completely wonky in this heat, and after having MS for 22+ years so, with the writers strike continuing, this is the video I was forced to watch at 3:51 a.m. this morning:

I thought that Seth Meyers singing Since U Been Gone was hilarious, but I have never seen this video before, so I watched it today:

NOT as Effective

The weather was awful when I woke up, and I think it was during an audio rosary and just after I counted five of the biggest cracks of thunder in my life when I closed my eyes and got into the Power Stance.

I held my fists to my hips for a long while, as my eyes were closed as I tried to muster some kind of strength. But then I felt a tear threaten to creep out of my right eye. I tried to lock my jaw to make it stop, but then my right eye started to threaten a tear. And then the tears just started to fall.

My shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, as my face was completely drenched with tears, but I just let them fall. I did that until I couldn’t stand all the wetness on my face, and I needed to blow my nose.

I told my Mom that I have never felt like this before in my life because I haven’t and something tells me that a power stands with tears streaming is NOT as effective…
