Hurricane Irene came to town today.<\/p>\n

I sleep in the basement to relieve the pressure headaches I have when I am upstairs in my home.<\/p>\n

Today, though, I sleep deep and late and actually wake up feeling—well, like I had slept!<\/p>\n

Today I accomplish what I want to do and more, with a cheerful smile and a spring in my step.<\/p>\n

Today I bake cookies and play with my dogs.<\/p>\n

Today I actually have an appetite for real food and make steak and potatoes for dinner.<\/p>\n

Today I am not dizzy and don’t have a headache.<\/p>\n

I forget about days like today.<\/p>\n

I have looked forward to sleeping in my real bedroom with my real husband, again.<\/p>\n

Today the winds are high enough that my neighbor has turned his turbine off.<\/p>\n

He has just turned it back on.<\/p>\n

Still, a day without torture is a good thing.<\/p>\n

I want more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
