The Overnights

Ever since I began treatment for this ear infection I have not be able to sleep at night. There's a lot of drainage, but I could sleep through that. It's the fevers that keep me up. My body feels like it's burning up all around me. My face feels hard and leathery and very hot. A shower would make me feel better, but I've been showering twice a day as it is.

I know that this is not something I can simply will away. To a certain extent this is my fault anyway for not going to a doctor sooner. I do wish this would go away soon. Between the sleep deprivation and the crankiness that comes with it and the night sweats I feel like I am having menopause, despite being way too young for it.
