{Selfie}: Morning Coffee and a Visitor

January 19th, 2012

Two nights ago I woke up in the middle of the night with my neck, chin, and jaw on fire. Not literally, of course. I didn’t realize until I woke up that I had been scratching myself in my sleep. It was terribly itchy with no relief in sight. My bathroom mirror revealed tiny red bumps all over my chin.

Because I’ve never had an allergic reaction, it was kind of exciting. So this is what it feels like. But those feelings soon passed, leaving me and my red bumps to fend for ourselves.

Last night was another lousy night.

It’s during these times (when I’m not feeling well), that I’m able to let go of the things that “need” to get done. Just the other day I was telling Rustin the pressure I felt I had to put on myself to get anything done. Like laundry. Lame, I know.

This must be my body’s way of telling me to slow the hell down. It will not be the end of the world if the laundry doesn’t get done. Sometimes I forget.

Every morning I have a cup of coffee. Today I had good company.

Here’s to letting jobs go. Hop in bed and pop some popcorn (I hear it’s National popcorn day. Thanks, Twitter!) with a someone who wants to cuddle. I have my someone picked.

Happy Thursday, everyone!
