Strange day.

.

.

I went to bed at 04:00, perhaps as much as half past.  I just couldn't sleep.  too warm.  It had gotten to 58 out there, but was staying in the high 70s, even low 80s in this front room.  And the leg.  It was hurting, from the scrape and bruising it took.  I was... a bit afraid.  I finally though to bandage it, but... I was afraid of that too.  So... I didn't sleep.

I finally went and found a bandage.  I didn't clean it.  I just... covered.  Actually just that really helped.  As long as I don't get an infection, it will work, mostly.  Though, I realized, it isn't just the pie scrape, but cut along the leg, say four to six inches of a gouge on down to another little be larger skin loss patch, about an inch or two in diameter?  Something.  Weird way that did...

I got a call, from my brother, letting me know my mother has had her surgery delayed.  She couldn't sleep last night, and her pulse is to 140.  They are going to do a few things for her, to clear that, then try tomorrow?  Maybe later today.  My guess is they don't have a lot of people coming in, lately.  I woke up, before the call, and prayed for her... about when her surgery should have been.  No, no alarms, just a... strange sense.  Then went on back to sleep.  My brother called a few hours later.

I woke to a strange day.  The clouds from yesterday... not the same ones of course, but the same system?  Anyway, they remained.  Heavier, and more complete.  It is 62 out there?  And it has rained?  Very peculiar weather.  Sure could use the cool though.  Quite pleased with that.  Ha!  But, I think we got more rain that I could possibly have watered last night, so it's all good on that end.

Woke with a migraine.  Should have gone to bed earlier.  Go vapor-locked into insomnia, and with the fear of the leg, and not being able to sort that out, I got stuck like a bird flying in a hurricane.  Afraid to land, afraid to fly, couldn't see where to go.  So... I flew, until I couldn't, more or less.

I will probably take tylenol, if I can remember.  Then, hopefully, do some stick pickup out there.  And open up the house to let some of that cool in.  I had closed everything down, since I wasn't sure I'd be able to wake in time to shut the house up this morning, and I was right.  But, 62?  Raining?  And June 24th?  Whatever.  I'll take it.
