insomnia

[joegoda]

Lessee... I lay down at about 4:30 to see if I could get some sleep. I've been having this sinus thing that was just buggin' the heck out of the right side of my face, and after breathing salt water for most of the night (oh, and do try not to swallow salt water... does nasty things to your windpipe, or at least it did mine), I found that I couldn't sleep. Maybe it was the salt raising my blood pressure way up to somewhere near day time. Maybe it was that I had just written the death scenes for B&G (and before anyone wonders, it's not the end of the story), what with Pockets already biting the big one. Regardless, between the hours of 4:30 and 7:00 am I got just enough sleep to drool on my pillow. Salty drool. Not to be confused with salt taffy, which is a whole 'nuther story involving stuffed pink Poodles and Steamwheelers.

I think I'll put off going to see the big model planes in Guthrie until tomorrow. Not that I don't think I'd enjoy it today, just that I think I'd enjoy it better if I was awake. Driving would probably be better that way too. Saturday, the crowds would be out, the trolley rides would be more interesting, and I bet they have food vendors that are just to die for.

Anyway, I see Susi and Becky couldn't sleep either. Maybe it's something in the Ooze. Y'all take care of yourselves. I may be sleeping off and on all day.

Well hell, Becky. It's not the happiest chapter, but I hope it didn't add too much to the negative in your world. As for BP&G, they needed to change, because their world was changing... had changed. They aren't gone, just transmuted.

Not sure what the distressing news is, not sure I wanna know. But I do know that everything moves and flows, and eventually turns out the way it is supposed to, and generally for the better. It is only the past moments that seem bad, as the future hasn't been fully written yet and the current moment passes quickly.

Big hugs back to you!

Your chapter is unsettling, but I can (and do) accept that it is just that - another chapter in the lives of B&G. The distressing news is about an illness and some ramifications about it that may affect events and activities yet to take place.

Add that to my sense of uncertainty with my world right at this moment in time (because of my own situation), and you have a recipe for disconnection, if not disaster. Mostly of my own making, and therefore, all of my own resolution, for the most part.

In some respects, I probably needed this, as the slap upside the head to get me moving in a new direction, and quickly. I just wish that it would not tag my friends and Family, as well - the last thing I ever want to do is bring someone else down because I could not handle my own life situations in a more purposeful manner.

Time to work on change, in as positive a way as I can do it.
