8:44 pm

i spent time at the beach today.  waves crashing onto the shore is one of my favorite sounds. a lazy swim in the ocean felt yummy. i spent time with my nieces and my sister and it was fun, even when they were driving me bat s**t crazy. exactly what i needed. it's the first long weekend in a long time, a chance to unwind, decompress. a little burned on my back, next time i'll ask my sister, not my niece to apply sunscreen on my back. i read for pleasure and listened to frank sinatra songs coming from a neighbor's radio. tomorrow is another day of work but it'll be a little easier to face.

peace,

it was a gorgeous day. after spending most of the day indoors yesterday it was amazing to go to the beach today.  only for a couple of hours.  the water was cold.  the waves and wind were strong.  the sun bright.  i chatted with my sister ces, catching up with her. it's been awhile since we've spent time. too much work.  too much time away.  we rattled on and it felt good.  sand between my toes.  salt water in my hair.  sun on my skin, warming my bones. yum. my head is clear. i can face another day.

peace,

Brain Rumblings

My brain is on fire.  I have a migraine that won't let up.  It has been intense the last two days and in the worst moments I feel like I'm coming apart.  Ripping at the seams.  I am functioning enough to get through my day job but there is nothing left over by the time I get home.  Hollowed out.  Think pumpkin-seed entrails. What the hell is bringing this on?  Stress?  Probably but when isn't life stressful. I am unable to string together enough coherent thoughts together.
