Unease

I knew this night would be like this. Reluctant to go to bed, after so many bad nights of congested sleep. Sure enough, the coughing came with horizontality. And the winds blow in dust and unease, with my eager anticipation. Finally took drugs, which I'd been hoping to avoid, wanting my gut and sleep to normalize. Instead, more nyquil, and hot tea to ease incipient asthmatic wheezes. Not real asthma, but after a few episodes of exercise induced wheezes over a lifetime, the symptom is familiar. Deeply unwelcome. Pretty sure I've got it soothed. I keep checking the noaa radar, watching the powerful line of the front encroaching. This is going to be a doozie.

I rather hope.


Sleep I'm less sure of. But I usually sleep well, and every now and again, everyone has one of these nights. Touching how D offers warm concern at my occasional difficulties. Given that he suffers so from insomnia more often than not.
