• This Morning I was up at 0430

  and it seems to be becoming a habit.  I'm in a phase with Lyme treatment when I am taking Tetracycline and we are in the increase phase. We've added tetracycline twenty minutes before breakfast. I can't take any dairy for two hours before or after. That's ok, I can make that work. I'm mostly soy based for those kinds of things right now except for some yogurt and half and half in my coffee about two times a day. The challenges to surmount are :arising early enough to take the medication and then forcing down food earlier than I normally would. I usually need to be awake an hour or so before I start to eat everything and hav usually started the morning with a cup of coffee in bed, brought to me by my loving spouse who wants to get me off to work to keep making the big bucks (insert sarcasm here).

  Because I am in a ramp up phase, I am starting another herxe. Yesterday found me particularly giddy at work and having brain fog. I am fortunate that there was an extra nurse to cover and so I started my weekend early. This is good because this morning the all over aching is setting into my muscles and bones.  I've been watching dawn creep into the sky while waiting and then eating. Grey blue clouds shaped like sky whales float above the ridge. Nature is on the other side of the window while I sit here with technology and all it's sharp edges.  This morning everything seems to be fraught with contrast and opposition. 

  Blessings abound.
