Aches and pains


Here are some random and not so random thoughts on this Monday:

My head is beating like a drum today from a sinus headache. I'm home and going to take some of the over the counter sinus medication to try to get over it. My neck also aches and my rotator cuff strain is acting up. I'm going to check blogs between naps.

I had a good weekend--cozy and relaxing. The moon was awesome. But I get bad dreams whenever there is a full moon, which convinces me of it's pull on the tide within us.

I've enjoyed the relatively warm weather but a deep freeze is coming by the end of the week. Just in time for my real birthday on Jan. 17. Supposedly it was a warm day when I was born.

I would like to be well enough to make a meeting tonight. I'll have to make that decision later. There's a meeting close by that might be easier to reach tonight than the longer drive to my home group.

No one is home right now so I get some time to listen to the house "talk" around me. I can hear the squirrels running across the roof. And the ticking of the big old clock in the gathering room sounds like a metronome.

There are clean flannel sheets on the bed that I'm going to burrow in for a few hours. There is something about soft sheets in winter and the expensive high thread count ones in summer that make sleep peaceful.

See you tomorrow.

  6. I know headaches like those. I used to get the severe black-outs when I was close to the last of my hearing burning out. I feel for you and hope the pounding lets up soon.

    There isn't something to be said for the warmth of flannel sheets in the winter. I can't imagine not having them on the bed.

    The picture of the pup is endearing, that alone makes one tempted to take a nap. (Hugs)Indigo

    Enjoy those warm sheets. I love my luxurious sheets and our "winter only" comforter.

    Hope your sinuses and rotator cuff problems, and any other aches and pains are better by tomorrow.

  15. my trick is to turn up the electric blanket under the fitted sheet on the bottom then trap the heat in with a blanket and a home-made afghan...that's sleeping good. And the kitties just love it! I hope you feel better soon.
