I'd sleep through it if I could....

The first hour or so that I'm up are the worst. Although I've developed the habit of setting out my morning "cocktail" of Excedrin and ibuprofen before I go to bed and gulping that down first thing, the wait for it to kick in is interminable. I feel fragile ("Fra-gee-lay---it's Italian!"). My neck, from the base of my skull to about my shoulder blades, has too many nerve endings. It's not pain as such, it's just sensitive to things like...air pressure. My shoulders aren't too happy, either. Sometimes a warm shower helps.

It's true: Youth is wasted on the young.

Sunny Sunday

Just returned from an afternoon out---lunch with Mb, then we went over to Kat's cleaned out my car, huzzah!---after which she decided she needed to get home and I went for a swim. Ah, bliss! I feel really bad that 'Brat couldn't join me---she worked her butt off. She has a lot more energy than I do. Yes, this was supposed to be Friday's plan, but shit happened. Just like the Lush trip with AI is postponed indefinitely. Shit just keeps happening....

We uncovered stuff I didn't know I had---like another couple bags of cans, to my chagrin. I could've made another couple dollars last week, HIBK. Shoes---five or six pairs, several of which I'd completely forgotten about. A milk glass...butter dish? Pickle dish? IDK. Books. Towels. OMG, STUFF.
