Medication Mishap
I lie awake in my bed feeling rigid and frozen. I glance at the clock… 2:30 am. How am I not able to sleep? I took my night-time meds. There’s no reason I should feel this bad. I start to go down my list… Did I have protein? Well, seeing as I didn’t partake in the Brazilian BBQ for […]
