Homespun Truth

I'm thinking I need to begin an audio blog or at least start to collect myself that way. I find my best ideas are when I'm away from the computer or at least doing something else that doesn't allow me to jump up and type. You know, like while I'm driving or cooking or showering. Sometimes my best ideas happen when I am in bed, but that is my favorite place in all the world and frankly, I'm just not getting up to write something down. It's like my refuge. It's peaceful, comfortable, perfect. I could write for a long time about how much I love my bed, but that would be sort of weird, so, just know that it's my place.

It would also help me out on stretches like this. One where it's painful to sit at the keys and look at the screen. I've had a head ache that won't end for the last few days. This one isn't a migraine, but it's working it's way up to it and I've been working hard at keeping it at bay. I haven't had a full out migraine in a long time now and I'd really like to keep it that way. I actually think it's a sinus issue related to the winter/spring Jeckle and Hyde weather we're having. Plus a lack of sleep. It all adds up.

See and the sleep thing. I get a lot of great ideas at 3:AM too, it's just that I really only got up to let the dog out. My plan, my serious plan, is to return to my favorite spot and go back to sleep.

I love sleep. It's the thing I miss more than all others about my life before kids. More than hot meals made of foods that aren't kid friendly. More than TV that isn't animated. More than books that don't have crayon drawings in them or missing pages. More than a clean car---oh wait, I never had one of those. More than clothes that were semi-close to fashionable or that stayed clean longer than 3.7 minutes. More than kid friendly radio or music. More than "real" newspapers without jelly, syrup or pop tart crumbs inside them.

So in my mind, I blogged about cartoons. I'll be getting back to that one, just because I can. I just got frustrated when after I created half of it, a little someone helped me at the computer and I lost all but the opening sentence. In my mind I'm always blogging about the things music makes me think of. Inside my head I've written you several tales about living in my town and how it's a perfect fit for me in such a strange way.

But for now, it's all in my mind. I have to turn my eyes away from the screen for a while and keep the beast at bay. I'll be back my friends, I'll be back, sooner than you expect.
