But You Don’t Look Sick

I get this one a lot, since I look youthful, not even old enough to get arthritis. I have arthritis, and it is painful sometimes, often flaring up when I do not get enough sleep. But my friends, see, I went back to sleep in the middle of the night, at 3:00 a.m., by grounding myself in my physical body. I put my mother’s psychic antics on ignore, woke up being like, whatever, and went back to sleep. I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams, at getting enough sleep tonight. That by itself is amazing, despite the hernia pain I’m in. Throwing out the garbage is making me wheeze, so I may need to ask for help with this.
