First Day Back at my Summer Job...

Teaching at a musical theatre camp? Teaching/demonstrating dance? With MY body? I got home and crawled into bed. Didn't even stop for Advil... Great kids, wonderful organization, really fun assignments this year, but... can I last five weeks?

And the days fly by...

Well, one did anyway. Yesterday afternoon I had a 24 hour flu go through me in two hours. Yeah, pretty sure that was a fibro trick. 24 hour bugs usually take about 28 hours with me. I might have even believed 18... not two! However, for the record, I would not mind that happening with all future 24 hour flu occurrences.

Words Found!

I was far too discombobulated last time to come up with the image, but it was so easy... bubbles! Think about it: the soapy water is all together in the bubble wand, but then when you blow through the opening, the liquid splits into many bubbles, different shapes and sizes, moving at different speeds and in varied directions. Now take a snapshot of them. That is a perfect picture of what my body felt like last night. Easy! Well, the imagery -- I'm not sure I would call the feeling easy...

At a Loss for Words

I know, that is unusual for me. But it's true. I really have no idea how to describe how I am feeling right now, at 4am... I can't go to sleep because I can't seem to get all of my body into the same category of existence. No, that's not right, but it's the closest I've gotten yet. The only thing I can think of is a piece of art I once saw (and have since seen other attempts at the style) where it looked like something had been painted on a flat surface, but then that surface was pushed from behind, so different parts of it ended up further out than others, like a whole bunch of hydraulic lifts had been attached to squares that were drawn on as one big canvas, and then the lifts pushed their little squares all to different heights. You could sort of see the whole picture if you looked from just the right angle, but any slight variance and you lost a bunch of it. And that is how I am feeling right now... kind of... yeah... loss for words and cohesiveness!
