I do my posts a day before so I’m writing this on a Monday evening after a Sunday wedding where I had a glass of wine that kept me up half the night. It is so sad how much of a light weight I am because I really enjoy a glass of wine…until my lips start to feel a bit numb and I can’t sleep the next night and I’m a zombie the next morning. After one glass! Do any of you have this problem after just a glass? It’s supposed to be good for you! Sigh….My head is in a creative, somewhat foggy space so for “R” you get a foggy, somewhat creative poem about the respite I so desperately need…
Monday
Stressful, Routine
Grading, Testing, Chasing
Papers, Pencils, Family, Friends
Resting, Writing, Relaxing
Free, Footloose
Sunday
That painting looks so restful till you think of the backstory. Those workers must have been exhausted to sleep like that.
Yes, I don’t do the same type of work, but when I fell asleep last night, I felt the same. Utter exhaustion.
Same thing happens to me from wine. Wonder if it could be a reaction to the sulfites?
I thought that too but being the interwebs crawler that I am, I checked trusty old WebMD and it seems like those symptoms are really specific…none of which I had…the mystery of the wine!
I usually sip a few glasses over the course of the evening. As long as I drink it slow and don’t drink too much I’m okay the next day.

I think I might have also been dehydrated – after one good night of sleep I’m back to normal …. thanks for stopping by 🙂
Love the painting. Sometimes one glass of wine hits me hard and other times not at all, and I have always wondered if that has to do with hormones. The older I get, the more wine or alcohol seems to disrupt my sleep pattern and I find myself wide awake at 3 am. Ugh.
Yes, my tolerance used to be higher….not much, but higher!
