I wake up in pain. I have energy, but I'm sore and still in a mental cloud.

The cloud persists, even up to an hour after waking.

I indulge myself in herbal pain relief, which makes me feel infinitely better for about 10 minutes.

After that, I have considerably less pain, but absolutely no energy whatsoever to do anything.

Eventually, I'm afraid, I really am just going to have to "harden the fuck up."
