Two nights in a row, I’ve gone to bed early with some form of pain. Tuesday night it was a migraine that I was praying away. The idea of waking up with it and having it stay with me was not one I was willing to romance. Last night, I still had a headache, but I was also suffering from a Fibro flare from the neck down and I’d been badly affected by the heat and humidity. When I got home last night and changed my clothes, that was when my phone alerted me to an air quality advisory. You’ve got to love apps on a delay.
Yet now, here I sit, unable to go back to sleep. I’ve been up long enough to check the score of the game (Yay Blackhawks!) and eliminate 30 minutes from my DVR. I’d woken up with cat and kitten vying for prime Mommy real estate. I didn’t even know they were both crammed up against me until I returned to my bed five minutes later and was able to see them in their full-sized, stretched out glory. I returned a while ago to see they’d taken over all of the good spots, after first accompanying me down the steps, probably to see if an extra or early meal might be in the cards. I asked both of them if storms were coming, neither of them has budged. The forecast says there is only a 30% chance of rain and thunderstorms. These two lumps say otherwise.
I could be working on one of my jobs right now, but I’m struggling with the pain from the flare up. My muscles are screaming and sitting is difficult, not to mention painful. But I do want to get one of these jobs done today, if possible. It feels good to have a client return and be happy to have me on a project. 🙂
Hopefully once my muscles loosen up, I will be able to do more than just my job today. I’d like to run out for a bit, once it cools down. I am also reading The Sell by Fredrik Eklund. All in all, lots to do. If only there were an additional ten hours in the day to accomplish it all. Realistically, the amount of caffeine needed to achieve that would be insane, so 24 hours is a good time-frame, after all.
I hope everyone has a good day and is looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Onto the daily adventure…

((((hugs)))) I woke up this morning with Mitch stretched out on my quilt against my legs and Rory next to me on the blanket. We had a chilly night last night. But it’s no wonder I was stiff – I had been stuck in one position. Still, you can’t help but feel the kitty love 🙂
Heat and humidity gets to me more than the cold because there’s no escape from it.
I hope everything eases for you soon x

It was actually too warm here for them to be using me as a body heat magnet, but since cats run warmer than we do, maybe it was just me? I am constantly adjusting the thermostat because I’m too cold or too warm. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground when it’s 97 degrees out with 100% humidity. I have the air on pretty consistently, but unless I’m directly under a vent or the temperature drops outside, you don’t feel it as intensely. Other times I’m sitting here wrapped in a blanket, because I refuse to turn it off knowing that I’ll be too warm in an hour.
I often feel “stuck in one position” and I realize I’m accommodating them once I’m aware that they’re with me. Usually they sleep at the foot of the bed in different spots or with each other, but lately they’ve been competitive in a loving way in regard to who gets more of me. It’s hard not to feel stiff and achy.
I’ve ALWAYS gotten really sick during weather like this. I dehydrate so quickly, which is unbelievable considering how much water I drink. I decided to stay put today since I still don’t feel well. I am rehydrating with coconut water. All of my muscles still feel tight and achy. Stretching only seems to make me tired.
I hope the pain eases up for us both. TTYS. 🙂
