100. Thank you, Racaulk!

I'm finding that it comes in bursts. I have 4-6 hours when I can't do much, but then I get 4-6 hours when I can. I guess I'm going to have to adjust to taking naps when it hurts, and being busy when it doesn't. :P

Regardless, as long as I can find ways to cope, I'll deal with this. I am stuborn, and I'm good at finding ways to deal.
