Misty Morning

This is morning in our home. Still, dark and slightly askew. It's the quiet I crave at a time I wish I wasn't so familiar with.

(You Capture - Morning)

Ouchies.

Remember when we were kids and we'd skin our knee? We'd go running into the house, crying for a parent/sibling/babysitter and they'd sit us down while washing it out and applying some kind of antiseptic. Then they'd kiss it better. All of that work cleaning it and it's ruined by a kiss. Still, it always seemed to work.

Well, I need someone to come kiss my back better. I don't know if I pulled a muscle or put more pressure on those (bulging/ruptured) discs but, holy crow!, this is awful. It's so bad that I took a Demerol (all it did was make me sick and tired) and, when that didn't work, I doubled my Neurontin. Yeah, yeah... not a good idea. Well, I only take it once per day, so all I did was add a dose roughly 12 hours earlier. It helped but wasn't fantabulous.

And, oh, how I need some fantabulous right now!
