Ever had a week that felt like a month? That's kinda how this week felt to me. But not that it dragged, it is just that Monday seems like forever a go!
I worked the last two days at Terre Haute so got to see my brother and sister-in-law who are due w/ that little in 14 days, not that we're counting! Oh yeah we are! And praying for a peaceful delivery for sweet momma J, and healthy strong baby!
2 weeks or so till I meet my 6th nephew! Which reminds me of a pic I saw on fb last nite of my nephew William. He graduated from 8th grade and catching his pic in my feed surprised me and just made me well up!
Got in last nite and it was just Bears and I. C had golf in Chicago and stayed w/ some of our friends. Sometimes i love a nite to myself and after a busy week it was lovelee... our neighborhood does these summer get togethers every friday and our neighbor across the street was hosting when I pulled in so went over for a bit. Bears was having a good ole time w/ the kiddos - they'd come to pet him and he'd run, they'd chase and he'd let them get close and then run. Nice exercise for him!
I made dinner and was gonna catch up on my Nigella Bites shows, which I think are all reruns, but watching her in the kitchen is my cup of tea. But then ended up catching Behind the Music w/ Miranda Lambert - one of life's small joys, flipping on the tv to find a show you actually love watching.
The whole evening was good, until I went to bed. I've got a new little bedtime routine I do - it's a meditation that I listen to that just relaxes my mind and I'd fallen asleep before it was over but woke up right at the very end with the worst cramps in my feet I've ever had. The muscle that goes from your big toe down the inside of your left foot was cramped so bad it was like it was a piece of concrete in there and felt like it was just gonna bust! Then my right foot was cramping too but it was my middle toes that were just bending and spasming (is that a word) like crazy... oh man it hurt. I felt like I was in labor cuz w/o even thinking about it I started breathing like you see they tell women in labor to do! Kooky! And was trying to stretch them but to no avail.
I finally made my way to the bath thinking hot water would help and it did, but the rest of my nite was spent laying on my back pretty still b/c the cramping didn't just stay in my feet it was strong in my back where I typically have my pain and in almost all of my muscles in my legs and back. When I'd move things would just cramp.
Who knows what last nite was about, my mind can get the best of me and I go from saying it is just dehydration to thinking the worst, but I'm chalking this up to just a drop of yuck in a bucket of SO MUCH GOOD that has been happening in my health. I have been learning and growing and just GRATEFUL for the people and things God has gifted me with over the past weeks. And gonna drink more water today!
Such a long little chat post, guessing few make it to here! But if you did, hope it's a lovely weekend for ya... posting a song I heard this am, that helped pull me out of my mental funk last nite left me in. Must be a new one b/c I couldn't find it on grooveshark, so here's the youtube.
xo to you,
sc
