We had some interesting visitors last night, squealing and making other weird, otherworldly sounds in the backyard. Our dog went crazy, trying to get out for some fresh pork chops. It seems the wild pigs were in transit, as the sounds faded out...and then the bobcat started up, with its bizarre and wild noises....making it a little hard to sleep. But then I did--I am on a new supplement for fibromyalgia, recommended by Richard at New Leaf in Felton. It's supposed to improve my REM and deep sleep (fibro is thought to be a sleep disorder. One of the standard treatments is exercise--but even that hasn't helped as much as I would like). I slept very deeply after the pigs left and dreamed some interesting dreams, including that the wild pigs had been eating Red Delicious apples the size of beach balls! Richard warned me that I might have some pretty intense dreams at first...hey, bring them on.
My REM sleep is so poor that I rarely remember any dreams anymore. I like my dream life and hope that it is on its way back now.
Some folks have been asking me how the book is going, as well as all the stuff I still have out at literary magazines...I have one really good magazine that just yesterday let me know work is being held for final consideration (a prose piece I think was one of my better ones)...and other than that, everything is still out. And as for the book, it's going very steadily.

Hi - I've been reading your blogs to keep updated on the case...silently...but when I read about you having Fibromyalgia, I had to write you and let you know that I have been healed, and I would LOVE to share with you. I tried to email you, but it wouldn't go through. Please email me at lislewellness@mynsp.com with your email address if you are interested in hearing my story.
Warmly,
Someone who knows your pain.
