I got an update on my grandmother today – she’s not recovering from her stroke as quickly as we’d thought she was. Still some vision problems and some cognitive issues. It’s got me a little down.
I’ve also not been getting enough sleep recently. There’s been some work and family stress going on and though I’m getting the same sleep hours I usually do – they aren’t working as well. I’ve also had a bunch more dreams upon waking and though I can identify some of the elements from my waking world, the combination is disturbing and disconcerting.
In better news… I spent much of the afternoon outside when I got home from work. Had a snack, did some reading – just relaxed a bit on my quiet back porch. Wasn’t quite warm enough to how shirtless and get some sun – but it was fine for t-shirt, blue jeans, and flip-flops.
I’ve also starting kicking around a story in my head – a sort of modern day retelling of the myth of Pandora. She’s got a thing for containers and I can certainly relate. I want to work on it in my head for a little while before committing it to pen – maybe I’ll work on it on this beach this summer.
Time for another meeting… gotta run.
later…
