![]() Sakuya winced at the impact of her tiny fists, glared up at nothing in particular and muttered something to himself in French. "Papa you have to move faster next time!" she huffed in a perfect, indignantly constructed tone that wonderfully matched his own. At the extraordinarily pleased look on Hiyoko's face he couldn't help but smile a bit himself, placing his hands at her short hair and curling his fingers in the blonde locks.īehind them Anna, who was now on Sakuya's shoulders (whom looked as grumpy as he ever was going to be), thumped her hands against her Father's head. "GOOOOOOOOAL!" At the sound of his Mom's victory cry he was brought lower and received a kiss to the nose. The ball was tossed languidly to the ground, behind the bag. "Aki! Throw the football down now, before they get to us!" Slowly he peeled his hand off of his face and looked down to the see the bag that made up his Father and sister's goal. Suddenly the whole thing stopped and he felt himself being jerked forward somewhat from the momentum of suddenly halting. He heard from behind them the sound of clothing being ruffled and Anna demanding, "Papa pick me up too!" Though his Maman wasn't all too tall it was still a bit scary being so high from his height! She heard Sakuya give out a shocked, "Hiyoko!"Īkito squealed in surprise (and a touch of fear) before wailing out loud as Hiyoko went flying down the yard with him held high over her, clutching the football to his chest with one hand while the other went to his face, covering up his eyes as he trembled in his Mother's firm grasp. The two would easily be able to catch up with his lacklustre movements and with that thought in mind, Hiyoko quickly developed a plan, speeding herself up and swooping down, grabbing her son-Īkito looked briefly over his shoulder. Hiyoko trotted after him, Sakuya going after as well. The boy was still rather slow compared to his sister, who gained her Maman's quick pace. In a surprising show of unusual quickness, Akito went bumbling for it and snatched it off the ground before moving the other way. She went speeding down their vast backyard, before stumbling slightly, pin wheeling for a moment before the ball went flying out of her hands. A bag signified the goal lines.Īfter a coin flip it was deemed that Anna would first take the ball. It would instead be kind of like of a game of opposite tag - if one was touched by a member of the opposing team they had to hand over the ball. Both Annabelle and Hiyoko were absolute beasts at tackling (Sakuya knew this firsthand for both ladies) and they didn't want either of the men to be harmed, particularly little Akito. ![]() They agreed on certain rules no tackling, for one. Neither Sakuya nor Akito knew how they managed to get rounded into a game of football.

![]() After four rounds, he uses a Woodie Catapult to escape, flying into the Gloomleaf Swamp. When up, Lok is hauled off by Woodies, and Tak fights through waves of Woodies. After an argument, Caged Juju finds Lok, and uses a lift key to get up. When he awakes, he is in the holding area in the Gloomleaf Arena, where Woodies train, with Caged Juju. For the third time, he gets back to his world using a rift. Tak then uses the Bolas to get through the Dream World. When Tak does this, he is knocked out by Woodies, again entering the Dream World. He tells Tak that with three magic stones, he can make Bolas to get across the gap. When Tak saves Lok, he summons Mind-Reader Juju. When they reach a bridge, they have to wait for Woodies to pass, but when they do, Lok blows up the bridge, and the Woodies attack. Once in the real world, Tak and Jibolba set off, again. Once he makes it to the end, he again enters the real world through a rift. He wakes up in the Dream World, once again being led by the Dream Juju. As Tak and Jibolba go down the fast current, they fall down a huge waterfall, and Tak is knocked out. Lok is once again left behind, and when Belly Juju chokes, Lok has to save him. Belly Juju uses a barrel that Tak got for him, and throws Tak in it, and throws the barrel down river. When Tak and Jibolba reach a dead end, they summon the Belly Juju to get a raft. Jibolba turns into a Flea for easy hauling, and they set off. Lok wants to go, but Jibolba tells Lok to go fetch his magic sandals. When going through the rift, Tak wakes up, and Jibolba and Tak go find Jibolba's brother, JB. ![]() As he fights through the Dream World, he escapes through a Rift. After Tak refuses, he is told that if he does not do this, he will be stuck in the dream forever.

My feet and hands are always freezing but I'm not sure if that's related or not. I also suddenly get horribly depressed and want to **** myself, but (for now at least) can control it so I don't hurt myself. And now that I've stopped taking it, I switch between craving EVERYTHING and never wanting to eat again. I'd eat basically all throughout the day and sometimes night. When I was on Cymbalta I was ALWAYS hungry. I'm not sure if it's related to anything, but all these little things are adding up to a HUGE problem for me lately. It's not so strong that it hurts, but I can feel it half to three-fourths of the way up my fingers randomly throughout the day. ![]() My bones were aching a lot while I was on Cymbalta (not sure if it was related to the meds) but now I can barely feel it because I'm shaking so much all the time.įor the past week or two (still while I was on Cymbalta) I've been having the feeling that I touched an electric wire. I always have a hard time with it, but I can't even remember the ends of my sentences this past week. I'm having a horrible time concentrating. I can't sleep that well, even with my sleeping meds, and as soon as I wake up I'm sick to my stomach and shaking again. It makes me cough a lot, and coughing hurts my stomach even more. I have a very dry mouth lately and my throat feels like it's scratched and bleeding. I put drops in them but fifteen minutes later and they're dry and hurting again. My eyes are very dry and it's very painful. ![]() So apparently the shaking is not related to being cold, and the shaking stirs up my stomach and if there's anything in my stomach I vomit AGAIN. I put a sweater on because I somehow am unable to tell if my body temperature is cold, but usually that makes me start sweating and then the heat makes me throw up some more. I've mainly been living off of toast and pepto this week because everything else I end up vomiting up again. I still get horribly sick after I eat, or even after I take a small drink of water. I'm not feeling as emotional as I did while withdrawing from Paxil a few years ago but I imagine that's yet to come. I can usually catch myself but then my head feels like my brain has exploded and I just want to cry but that would hurt so much worse. A few times I actually thought I was going to and was preparing to fall in a direction where I wouldn't hit anything on the way down.Īlso when I am standing I have no sense of balance so while standing I will randomly start falling over. I get so nauseous all the time, and when I walk or am standing for too long I feel like I'm going to pass out. I also feel like I have the WORST hangover anyone has ever had, ALL the time. Sometimes my head starts throbbing from the pain. My head feels empty and I'm light-headed but there's SO much pressure and any noise at all makes me feel SOOO much worse. It's unbearable at times and honestly I would much rather have a bullet through my brain than deal with this.I am not joking in the slightest. I've had a horrible headache since even before I quit taking it, and it seems to keep getting worse. So Sunday I didn't take any, and I haven't since. I waited to stop for a couple of weeks even though I was getting sick because I didn't want to have horrible anxiety on Saturday when I took the ACT. So I decided to quit taking the Cymbalta. I was annoyed with getting sick so often, because getting sick after eating is a major part of why I started taking Cymbalta last year. I'm sorry if this doesn't really make sense or if I repeat myself, but since I quit taking it I'm very scatter-brained and cannot seem to focus.įor the last couple weeks I've been getting sick to my stomach whenever I take Cymbalta or when I eat. I was taking 60mg once a day and stopped all at once because taking it was making me feel very sick. I strongly advise you to talk to a doctor before starting withdrawals on your own. ![]() I wrote this on my online journal to keep track of how my withdrawal is going and I decided to post it on here.
