About Me

My photo
Massachusetts, United States
I am 41 years old. I have been married to my husband for 15 years. We have a son who was born in April 1996. We live in Central Massachusetts with our dog Maggie (a black lab we adopted from the animal rescue league) and our cat Sam (a stray that adopted us) I graduated from college with a BFA in Theatre in 1993 (hence the name) and for a few years pursued a career as an actress. Then life took over and I got married, had a baby and decided to get a "real" job. In November 2004, I was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's disease. In December 2004, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. In December 2009, I was laid off from my job. In June 2010, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14. Stick around to see what happens next!

Didn't sleep....again

Another night of not sleeping. I really don't know how I keep functioning. I woke up every 25 - 40 minutes last night. I am exhausted. I thought about staying home today but what's the point. I might as well go to work and drag myself through the day. I just hope and pray that I get that stupid cpap machine soon It's got to help at least somewhat. Otherwise, I really don't see how much longer I can live my life this way. This is no way to live. Constantly tired.

I am so overwhelmed by life at the moment. I have so much to do around the house and no desire to do any of it. Our room needs to be cleaned. The closet needs to be cleaned out...B's room needs to be cleaned....the basement...UGH! So much to do. Then there is the outside of the house.

I just want to be better. I need to get back on my diet & exercising again. I just haven't had the energy to do that either. I've been fighting depression lately too. So far, I'm winning...but it takes so much of what little energy I have.

OK, off to work!
