Night Tremors
5AM

I'm pretty sure I've been awake since 3-ish, my hand tingling into numbness.  This hasn't happened for a while, but does periodically and I'm not sure why.

In the past I've gotten up and exercised my afflicted part in order to get the circulation moving.  This time, being too tired or too lazy, I used my numb hand to massage my neck, to the benefit of both.

Then my awakened brain got into the act.  I remembered a small wooden roller that I have in a box of wooden shapes, set aside to glue words and quotes to, that I enjoy using in my art.

Soon I found it and began using it to roll my cramped and sore neck muscles.  Alas. Relief. I then rubbed on a little Tei-Fu cream(Nature's Sunshine Products) and was feeling right much better. ("Right much" is a term I learned from my Estes Park Scottish friends.  Sometimes it helps me to say just what I need to.)



With my mind wandering, after all the thinking and rubbing, I began writing this post in my head.  Words just came tumbling out.  Nothing could be done for it but to get out of bed, again, and put my wandering words down before I forgot them.

So here I sit in the soft glow of my computer, writing and sipping a warm milky drink ala Ms. Marple.  This simple sleep remedy consists of milk, vanilla and sweetener which is heated and then topped with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Yumm.

Now if I could only figure out how to use spell-check.
