Sleeping Soundly
Posted on | December 28, 2004 | No Comments
I slept for about 12 hours yesterday and awoke this morning feeling refreshed and almost happy.
I don’t know what happened, perhaps it was sleeping fitfully on Sunday, but I was exhausted yesterday. My dreams on Sunday were littered with images of becoming a bird-woman, wings growing out of my sides where my body pained me. It was a strange. The sensation woke me up time and again. Then I became afraid that I would accidentally smother D in his sleep with my big yellow wings. Yes, they were yellow. I was not very happy about that. I want, if I could have wings, bright red or silver-gray, but I got parakeet yellow. Highly disturbing!
Our futon is assembled and sits beautifully in our living room. It has wings! And the thick, expensive mattress from our old bed makes the thing really comfy. I managed to help (a little bit) put it together before passing out yesterday afternoon. Thankfully my friend at work helped deliver the thing, because it wouldn’t fit into my car, which still has a trunkload of firewood. Remind me to unload that stuff.
The tsunami – a wakeup call, albeit a brutal one. If nothing else, the magnitude of the earth’s power should be understood with this event. I read an article (which I am too lazy to find now) that said with the eaerthquake, the earth’s rotation went wonky! The extent of the damage, whole islands washed clean, is so hard to fathom. To really understand what fourty thousand dead looks like, its beyond my comprehension. If the tsunami wasn’t hard enough, the way of life there (there being all places effected, including Somalia) has been interrupted. Impoverished areas, which scratched by before, will suffer most cruelly now. This page lists charities that you can donate to, in order to help the victims. The list is part way down the page. If you can give, even a buck or two, I think that would help out immensely. I am going to scrounge together some cash to give.
In more mundane news, I have a short week. My baby kitty should become a permanent resident sometime this week, and I am loving my windchime. Other than that, its business as usual in my world.
