If you are wondering where I have been on Monday I had surgery on my gums. The peridontist gave me two Halcion tablets when I got to his office to help me sleep through the procedure; this was around 9:30am. I swear I was awake through the entire process, but it seemed to last only a few minutes. This is strange considering I was there for 2 1/2 hours. LOL... Anyway, my husband took me home and I fell into bed at around 1:00 in the afternoon 13:00 hours to some of you. According to my husband I emerged from the bedroom around 7:00pm for about an hour, I don’t remember so I’ll take his word for it and then went back to bed waking up the next day around 5:00am with my clothes from the day before still on. Even after sleeping for nearly 18 hours I was groggy and if I didn't have to go to work I could have easily slept another 8. Those were some really potent sleeping pills. Whew, I'll never do that again.

Last night was rough; shortyly before I went to bed the area where the peridontist took some skin from the roof of my mouth for a graft started to bleed pretty heavily. I sucked blood all night, it was gross and I woke up feeling nauseated. I think I have found a cure for my voracious appetite, drink large quantities of my own blood. YUCK!!! Trust me, some of that and you too will want to puke.

Well that's all I have to report. Then of course someone keeps telling me it's Christmas and I need to go shopping. So shopping I must go. Yeehaaa!!!

The bottom line is…I didn't have a poem in me, because all I could think of was sleeping. So if you are reading this then you know all you need to know about my present state of affairs. Which is what my poetry often is, a slice of my life. So here is a little pie to savor, I hope you like the taste.

My every waking thought is about you
How you laugh
How you smile
How you cry
How you love
How you think
How you touch
How you speak
How you look
When you look at me
With that look of love

You are the life
That makes me live
I love you baby
With all my heart
I love you
