Awake

I am awake when I don’t want to be. I have a terrible cold and needed antibiotics. Took the first one before going to bed. Not sure if I am having a reaction but I laid in bed for almost three hours before realizing that I hadn’t actually fallen asleep. My body kept waking up. I had tingling in my hands, feet, lips even. It seemed like my heart rate was low and I was waking up because things were shutting down. I have no idea if that is what was happening but I am up now. Listening to the rain fall steadily harder outside. And soon the power may go out. I am SO not wanting to be awake when the power goes out. I hate it in fact. To top it off I have a pinching feeling in my neck and left shoulder that has been getting worse over the pass three days. I am very much unhappy with the state of affairs my body is in. Thirty-five is not so much fun right now. I feel like my body is nearing eighty instead.

    Hey Mindy–I have your blog on my RSS feed, but for some reason it never shows up when you post something new and I miss out on some of your writing:(…But I wanted to say that I am sorry your body was not feeling so good then and I hope it is feeling much better now:)

    thanks, jess… not so great of a night. Not sure what is up with the RSS not showing up, but you could ask Joe or Jas. They may know. And thanks for reading my rambling. :)

    Hi, I found your painting of the coneflower and butterfly on google images. I was wondering if I could use the image on my wedding invitations. Thanks!
