too ticklish and too tired

so i'm way too tired today. like normal tired when you just feel tired, not the exhausted depeleted tired like i usually feel. i was just tired but it extended to all day. i want to sleep. i've barely eaten the last two days. but i'm not in all that much pain today. a tiny bit but barely. but i'm weak, like the last day of the flu feeling when you need that extra day to rest otherwise you'll get sick again feeling.

on top of that michael barely touches me and i laugh hysterically cuz i'm ticklish. he touches my stomache or my let or my ear! and i'm laughing! poor man.

i looked it up and youre ticklish because your sensitive or its a defense mechanism, so maybe i'm just defending my already wacked up body even though i dont feel pain.

ps: my knee pain is all gone!
