Happenings

My grandma had a mini stroke last night. The doctors says she seems to be fine now, but please pray for her. I love her very much.


I have had a few desperate urges/longings lately:

Own a dog
Go ice skating
Go backpacking
Go fishing
Travel (well, I always have that urge)

And I understand that ice skating is the opposite season of backpacking and fishing. Oh well.

Plus I would really like to sleep through the night. Last night I had the worst insomnia. For about three hours I would start dozing off, then kept getting startled awake by nothing. The last time I slept soundly through the night was two weeks ago, when Jake and his buddies were here and I had juice w/ vodka, and boy did it relax me; I slept hard as a rock that night. And before that the last time I slept through the night was the night after I got back from Costa Rica. I hadn't really slept for about 48 hours, because the night before the flight home we were at a bed and breakfast in a really noisy part of Heredia that kept me from sleeping much, and we had to get up at 3 AM for our flight at 6 AM, and I didn't sleep at all on the 5 1/2 hour flight back, nor on the flight from Denver to Albuquerque, nor on the drive from Albuquerque to Las Cruces, when my dad brought me down to move me in. I went to bed about 11:30 that night, and woke up the next morning (extremely stiff) in the exact same position I fell asleep in. Oh how I long for that right now...
