It's now Saturday 12:23 a.m. I've just been internet surfing passing time. I'm not sleepy and it's been like this for a while now. I'm kind of avoiding crawling into my bed because I'll toss and turn, cover myself then uncover myself because I'm cold then hot. My arms and legs have to be in a full body stretch to help avoid the joint pain I'll feel as my body starts to curl back up again. Luckily I have a king sized bed so I get to be a bed hog but it doesn't last long before I'm at the edge of the bed falling off after tossing and turning like I said. By the time I do start falling asleep which almost feels like 4 or 5 in the morning, the dumb dreams start then I'm glad when my alarm gets me out of it at 6:30 a.m. I can't wait to see my doctor Sept 20th, still a ways to go until I can talk to him about sleeping pills.
Well at work yesterday I did feel a small flare come up and took my lunch break to lay down in my blanket and pillow in the empty office since I had gotten the ok from my boss. I stretched on the floor, took some deep breaths, closed my eyes, and it all really helped me to recupperate. It helped me to be able to stay at work and finish the day. So that was a good sign that this will help me continue working and not have to go home just because I didn't feel good for the short time.
I'm hoping I didn't overdo my plans this weekend having two outings planned which normally I have maybe one or NONE at all lately. A good new friend, which I have to say Thank you Jerry! gave me two tickets to see my Dallas Cowboys play here in San Diego, CA. I am from Texas, what can I say. So it will be my 16 year old son and I driving down there today. It's a two hour drive so with my son's new drivers permit he will do his practice driving on the freeway to get ready for his official drivers license test this Sept 15th. This is going to be a nice load off my shoulders so he can then drive himself to school and football practice. He is a Senior in High School so it's time. Boy, do I feel old now.
As for my other adventure for tomorrow my other good friends, Judy and Scott, invited me to join them at California Adventure to see the new World of Color show:

The World of Color nighttime water spectacular weaves water, color, fire and light into a kaleidoscope of fantasy and imagination. More than 1,000 jets of water form incredible shapes in time to the music as Disney characters come to life on a shimmering veil of mist.Be immersed in this dazzling new dimension of magic at Disney's California Adventure Park.
So for me, this feels like a once in a lifetime to go and see this. I'm turning in my Annual Disney pass this year when it expires. My daughter helped buy it for my last birthday. I just don't have the energy to go anymore and also risk being in the sun too long. I used to go year's before so I'm happy I got the opportunity to enjoy it while I could. Since this show is at night, the plan is to have dinner and get reserved seating for the show, which is a great special treat for me, one not being at risk triggering my lupus in the sun, two I get to be out and with good friends which I miss, and last, I get to see this cool show!
Well wish me luck on my adventurous weekend, I've been a little afraid now to be out and about. I know it's my own anxiety, I just feel afraid of being alone driving or being too far from my home if something was to happen to me, but I really, really want to see my Cowboys and this new Disney show, so I hope God will help take care of me to enjoy it.
