First, I'm heading to Mel-ville then back home to try and slay a few beasts in 1 day. OK, maybe I'll just say a few prayers for you, but beast-slaying is my desire!! Let's go folks, time to pull Melissa out of CHell and back onto earth!!!!

I am up late most nights fighting off insomnia or the beast. If you need someone to yell at or just a verbal hug, look me up. FramCire on Yahoo IM or facebook or whatever.

I want to clarify something.

Battling the beast is one thing, but the emotional and physical toll is another. What I truely appreciate, is the love and support. It helps me get through another day. I haven't had much to laugh or smile about since my cycle began. My energy is sapped and beings it's the dead of winter, it's sorta hard to get out and enjoy anything.

My friends here are so precious to me because they understand the dance, more than anyone here around me ever could. This place is my refuge and my fountain of youth, so to speak.

I've tried to be here for others during my PF time, and feel somewhat guilty for not doing enough. I've held off asking for your energy & prayers because I feel that I am not worthy. BUT, I am not doing that anymore. I am now going to take whatever I can get!
