I honestly believed last night was one to be restful.
Emotionally I have been completely wrung this week. I can hardly feel anything right now. Lots of reasons, nothing really postable. Last night before surrendering to a few moments of slumber I linguistically deconstructed the word "tears" and the Spanish word for tears, "lágrimas." I find "lágrimas" so much more fitting to express tears one sheds. The term begins with a soft aveolar lateral placement of the tongue /l/ while "tears" sounds harsher, the dental occlusive forcing the sound out of from behind the front teeth with a force, like a gunshot. "Lágrimas" allows the idea to glide smoothly out of the mouth, much like a "lágrima" would roll down your cheeks...
And I fell asleep. Nothing like linguistics to knock a poor soul out.
Mother Nature, however, had other plans. Lightning, thunder, wind started up a little after 2 a.m. (I think...) which required me to get up, run around closing windows and then lay in my bed, watching the light show. In my entire life, I don't believe I have ever been known to have slept through a single storm.
By the time the cloudy sky began to show signs of light, the lightning passed. And I could finally sleep.
Perhaps I am part vampire? Nah--reincarnated sun goddesses and vampires cannot coexist in the same body. Too much essential, internal conflict.
A shot of Mama Llama-bucks (cheaper than *bucks, mind you) and let's just see how productive I can make this day. Lemonade from lemons, correct?

That's how I remember it. Lemons to lemonade. Sorry Mamma Llama.
ResponderEliminarI've been doing one of those detox your body things this week, you know, no alchie, lots of water greens and fruits. Well its working. Every single toxin in my body is coming out of my face.
I look 15 years old.
That's funny--but it does help. When I did my first exclusion diet and only ate lamb-brown rice-pears-lentils for four days to prepare, I had horrible headaches and facial breakouts from, evidently, getting out of my body what was offending it (which I soon learned was soy).
ResponderEliminarThe human body is an amazing instrument, Brad. We must take care of it. Good for you.
Be well, Brad.
I was trying to sleep at the hospital and was interrupted by not one, but two thunderstorms. We have had at least two thunderstorms a week since the beginning of July. I love thunderstorms, but I really needed sleep last night.
ResponderEliminarBut you are in a thunderstorm of your own right now, so fitting, eh? I'm sorry, but I think you can't skip the process.
