It was so weird. I had such a good night’s sleep last night, yet today I could not stop yawning. It felt as though I hadn’t slept at all. I couldn’t understand it, and then this evening, it struck me…this is probably due to the release of tension from having my son home last night.
It happens each time my son goes away. I think I am okay, but actually, there is this low level of tension that I constantly carry with me. It’s like the air that fills a balloon and keeps its surface rigid. It doesn’t feel like anything, but it’s there. And then my son comes home, and all that air in my balloon is released, and I feel relaxed and at ease again, and all I want to do is sleep.
He has left again, so I guess my balloon will start inflating again soon, but tonight I will sleep like a baby (hopefully).
Two Things I Am Grateful For
I am grateful that I did get to spend time with my son today. We had a great lunch at the mall. I was pleasantly surprised that I had a decent-sized discount voucher available to me at the time of paying, so I am very grateful for that too.
I am off to bed now. Thanks for popping by.
Bye for now.
