A Rough Day, a Better Morning


It’s been a bit of a rough 24 hours. Yesterday started with a migraine and nausea, and the longer I was up, the worse it got. Eventually the vomiting joined the party, and needless to say, I did not work yesterday. Instead, I slept off and on all day with my sweet Isabella curled up beside me. She’s always been good at sensing when I’m not feeling well. Sometimes that means she snuggles close; sometimes she simply stations herself nearby like a little feline guardian. She used to wake me up when my blood sugar dropped too low—thankfully that hasn’t been an issue for quite a while—but she’s still the most empathetic cat I’ve ever known.

I went to bed early last night but woke from a bad dream around 1:30 a.m. I’m not sure I’d call it a nightmare, but it was unpleasant enough to make getting back to sleep difficult. Eventually I drifted off again and slept until 5:15 a.m.—which is quite a bit later than Isabella usually allows. This time, at least, I was having a far more enjoyable dream. Let’s just say it involved meeting two guys at a bar and a rather delightful ménage à trois. Waking up from that was certainly nicer than waking up from yesterday’s misery.

I’m feeling much better today, thankfully. I’ll be at work for my half-day and need to get a few preparations done for the classes coming in next week. Afterward, I have a few errands to run, but I’m hoping it will be a good, calm day.

I hope all of you have a pleasant day as well. May it be migraine-free and maybe even dream-enhanced.

Interesting that you had that kind of erotic dream so soon after a nightmare. Did the dream result in morning wood? If so, certainly is a positive for condition of your circulatory system.

Yes. It still happens at my age, especially when I wake up on my own and not because Isabella wants to be fed.

Enjoy the morning, or other times, timbers, if you’re lucky because you’re diabetes will turn them into sawdust soon enough. Take some pictures and measurements for when your memory fades. Just a reality check. You can inject into the penis for an erection but there are complications.
