4 am insomnia post

[shiredancer]

And it's been quite a while since I've done this. Up all night and nary a yawn in sight. Have I mentioned that menopause *SUCKS* big time???

But at least I get to post. No, our online connection still isn't fixed -- but our very kind next-door neighbor has wireless and is allowing us to tap into it. If I sit just so on the couch, I can stay connected. Bwah.

So, Kidlet graduated yesterday and it was a truly miserable experience. Do they purposely make sure that all graduation ceremonies are as punishing and grueling for the parents as possible? Outdoors on the bloody hottest day of the year (so far), broiling in the heat, and now my shoulders are lobster red. The ceremony itself was sweet -- junior high kids singing songs and giving tedious heartwarming speeches. Kidlet looked adorable in her summer dress -- actually all the girls looked like a flock of colorful butterflies. Quite a thrill for them.

I've been immersing myself in belly dance stuff lately -- going to take some classes and workshops this summer! The online communities are fascinating -- I'm getting quite an education in the latest hoopla at Rakkasah. Kerfluffles do go on, don't they? *g*

Ah well, off to play some solitaire... almost guaranteed to put me to sleep. Almost.

*sends virtual warm milk with honey, and lavender oil for your pillow*

Actually, you could probably mix the lavender with the milk and honey and it'd be good for your burnt shoulders too! Sticky though :)

Thanks for the good thoughts, Vanessa! I'll have to remember to try the warm milk tonight.

:o( Hope you managed to get back to sleep quickly. I hate not being able to sleep - especially if I have to be up at a certain time in the morning.

Yes, I hate it too. I think I might be reacting to a strong antibiotic I'm taking -- when I tried to sleep I felt sort of racing-hearted weird. I think I finally dropped off at 5:30 a.m.! *groan* At least today I got to sleep in until 10. Tomorrow it's back to work and that will be bad if this continues.
