This is the time when I could use a drink. What is it that they say? Something to take the edge off…waking up to use the bathroom I find myself really awake as I lay back in bed. How do I get to this point? It happens all the time. I was dreaming of lip balm and Spoletos before. Why can’t I get back to slumber? How did I jump off the Sleep Express? Maybe it’s nerves. I’ll be meeting a bunch of new people today and I don’t think I brought enough makeup to put my best face forward. I pushed away a potential friend because the thought of that initial how-do-you-do terrified me. I’m not good at first impressions. If I could I’d have several first impressions. Like in the movie Groundhog Day. Until I get it right. Whoops! I stuttered. Let me go back to bed and try again. Ooops, I bumped your drink. Let me get back to you in 24 hours. Sorry! I mispronounced your name. Same time tomorrow? Until finally, finally my first impression is gracious and charming.
Insomnia leads to crawling around the internet. First stop, email and news of Natalie. Second stop, quick check of island life activity and photographs of heaven. Third stop, the sirsy message board to check the now grown silent chatter. Final stop, here. To confess my thoughts by the glow of the laptop and to wish for sips of icy cold limoncello….or maybe warm tuaca.

Ok Missy…where are you? Still in was it N.Y.? I always feel weird commenting on the letters to Kisa. Like I am “invading” a moment. But, I am wondering where you are? What’s going on and after the blog after this… happy you could vent like that for 4 hrs! I need to and can’t seem to get it out!
Your blog makes me wish I could still drink…sleep always eludes me and my dreams…
Sweet Dreams~
I’m home. Safe & sound, where I should be. The blog above was from two years ago. No N.Y. for me. The letter to kisa…well, I just needed to talk to someone who has known me for over 25 years. Only 25 years, 12 weeks and two days…but who’s counting? There is strength in those kinds of numbers.
Sheesh! I was so out of sorts from stress last night, I missed that key point!!! *blushes* I was just wondering if you had any mail lately? AT home mail *whistles innocently*
Oh the letter to Kisa… brought tears to my eyes, to have someone who knows you that well! That long! I read that blog maybe 3 or 4 times.
I think we are orbiting as usual. *sigh*
nope – nothing at home…but then again I haven’t been there since 8 this morning! Speaking of mail, I just sent you and Mon something! Orbiting! 🙂
Heee! It should be there! I sent a friend in Pa a card the same day… maybe today.
Awww you are too sweet ♥ thank you…orbiting indeed.
