today has been for resting

[alee_grrl]

This week was a long one and I am very low on spoons. Herxes are not so fun, though seem to be a necessary evil (byproduct of killing Lyme spirochetes). Yesterday evening was rough. I didn't realize how much I was hurting til I got home and had a good cry. Sleep helped. I'm doing okay today, though still not very up to writing much. Have been watching videos, reading fanfic, and listening to music.

jelazakazone shared this video conversation with the Sleepy Hollow cast. I highly recommend watching it even if you've never seen the show and have no intention of watching the show. The chemistry between the actors is fabulous and they are all so adorable and funny. Warning: Drinking while watching this video may be dangerous to your health.

Watching the above video led me to this amazing interview with Sirs Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart. Seriously, an hour and a half of two adorable old friends discussing their careers, acting as a craft, favorite/easiest/most difficult Shakespearean roles, how they met, charities they support, and more.

I may feel kind of crummy today, but I am thankful for good friends who diligently help me battle my demons of doubt; warm and comfortable friends; soft, purring kitties; and the internets, because it provides good distractions and connects me to my friends.

Dropping by, victorious from completing taxes, to say: I too am grateful for good friends (like you), and hoping for more ease for you soon.

[alee_grrl]

Thank you! Congrats on completing your taxes. Need to do that myself sometime soon.

<3 <3 So glad I could point you to something that gave you some happiness.

I honest to god almost spit my tea all over the laundry when I was watching that video. It is priceless.

[alee_grrl]

I came very close to doing spit takes a few times myself. :D

[jelazakazone]

Was I as kind to warn you not to have anything in your mouth while watching? God, they are precious. :D :D

[alee_grrl]

I think you mentioned possible spit takes in your post. :D

That Sleepy Hollow video was amazing! Thanks for the link.

{{{{hugs}}}} I hope you feel better soon and less crummy.

[alee_grrl]

Glad you enjoyed it! Those guys are too much fun to watch. It's one of the reasons I love the show.

Thank you for the hugs and well wishes.

*good thoughts* <3

Thank you.

Sorry to hear that this past week was so rough. I hope the herxes start tapering off soon, at least for this round of treatment, and hope that you can completely eliminate the Lyme in the very near future.

*sending lots of positive, healing and supportive vibes your way, as well as virtual hugs*

[alee_grrl]

Thank you. I probably have several more years of treatment, but going forward beats the hell out of going back. :) Average treatment time on my doctor's protocol is five to seven years, and since I was untreated for so long (possibly a good fifteen years) I will probably be more towards seven years or more. But I'm in my fourth year of treatment and as rough as it can be at times I am actually doing much better. I just have to remember that on the bad days.

Thank you again for the healing vibes, support and virtual hugs. I am very blessed to have good friends on and off-line. :D

I hope you are feeling a bit better now and I am glad to hear that you have been taking good care of yourself.

Thank you for sharing these videos. I adored the interview with the sirs. I am a huge Shakespeare fan and loved hearing them talk about their roles. Plus they are so adorable together.
