It is too early to go to bed, even though it is exactly what my eyes probably need. The morning after flying back from Saskatchewan, I was pouring my coffee at the usual time, when my eyes are usually not very open yet, and thought Hm, something doesn't feel right here.

Alas, it was true. The little buggers have swollen again like they did in May. Today they are complemented by bumpy red patches on the lower part of my face. I've never seen those before and don't know why my body is acting up.

In May, I could understand it. But leaving Saskatchewan was not that much trauma. It was a great visit and I'd rather Scott was coming with me, but he will be here in a matter of weeks. I felt tired when I left, that's all. And have been ever since, mind you.

"You were probably more upset than you realized," Mom said.

"Possible," I replied, over the phone. She didn't sleep well last night and had to take morphine tablets today to handle pain in her kidney.

"Or maybe you had a dream that upset you, and you forgot it," she suggested.
