I make my bed and happily fall into the pillows. I grab a magazine and some books at random open pages.<br />Something will grab my attention and then I hen scratch away. My writing is terrible, so once I think I have the key points, I run to computer to get it down. I think the vanilla, lavender spray on my pillow, helps a bit, calms me down. ;-D<br />Thank you for the award, haven't forgotten, just been flattened. I didn't think it was possible to have a sinus infection, cold and allergies at the same time.
