Rocktour Sleepingpatterns…

back-of-bus-in-the-sunlight

NamasteSalaamBonjour!!!!!! Hello, Beautiful Lovebugs! Happyhappyhappy Monday!!!!! May you all be experiencing positivity and increased bliss, today. *hugs*
I am in my wee, back-of-the-tourbus lair (like a troll under a bridge) WIDE awake (on sooo many levels) while the boys sleep their usual, ten-hour slumbers.
THIS would not work for me.

Even before chemo, there was no way I could sleep for more than four hours. Five would be a treat, but only psychologically. My body would FREAKOUT! Seriously. The edema (swelling) would be marked and uncomfortable for me.
And, of course, I’m only seven-weeks-post-surgery (ovariectomy/handlebars/estrogenbadforBiffy, Remember?) Which made “surgically induced menopause”, common cause of “insomnia”.
I still sleep sitting up (since chemo one, last January, due to the surgically-implanted-port-a-cath…with that sexy cathater being threaded-up my jugular vein…..where it would remain for ten months of infusions, until the bloodclot-that-surrounded-it forced the doctors to remove it early). Yes, Loveybabies, my bloodclot is still there. I may or may not have SVC syndrome. I am off the daily Fragmin injections (anti-clot) after six months of em with no change.
Sooooooooo……..sleeping-sitting-up, and getting my three-to-four hours a night is what The Universe grants me. I am grateful for that. I wake up everyday with positivity and energy. I love mornings. They are my favorite. :)

I am hungry in the morning, so I have my two-banana-plus-Vegahempshake in silent gratitude (for nourishment) while everyone sleeps. I am very mindful, in the mornings, and feel extrememly serene and meditative and contemplative.
I reflect. I think. I plan. I dream. I pray. I drink buscoffee (an entire, seperate blog could be penned on busfood habits, but I digress). I seek trukstop ladies rooms (not to be discussed). I clean the front of the bus. I utilize the recycling for the bottles. I type on my wee blackberry (as you see) I do SunSalutations and asanas and pranayama breathing. I go for walks around the bus. I have a great time!

I just wish I had a full kitchen on the tourbus and then I could make everyone breakfast everyday!!!! (They don’t eat like me, which I think is easy-peazy eating:bananas+hemp protein). They like things like oatmeal, eggs, meats, bagels, etc. But you know I love cooking for people, so I would make them whatever they like without judgement or hesitation. (They don’t judge ME for hempseeds, right? Right.)

The shows are amazing, rewarding, and blissful. Our days+nights are auspicious and filled with total fun! Fuck yeah! Oh- I DO have a bet (even though you know I do not “gamble” and have never even put a nickel in a slot machine!) I DID accept a bet from both Jacen and Jason regarding my theory about “4000-possible calorie expenditure during performance” (Flavio is in agreement with me).
They each bet me $20 that I’m “wrong”. Really? I think there are too many variables to ever determine the truth for each individual. All I know is I believe in my hypothesis. LOL! (Of course I do!)
I will keep you posted. :)
I don’t really care if I win or lose “money” in this bet. Its pretty funny to be IN the bet, in the first place.

I have included a photo from the back of the tourbus, in my little Sanctuary. The sunlight was beaming through the window, and it felt warm and loving.
I am sending you ALL energy and potivity and gratitude everysingle day!
Om Nama Shivaya.
Big love+bliss from the Road,
Biffy
