Waves are My White Noise
Dear Diary,
I have been lying here, awake, for nearly two hours. The only sounds I hear: my husband's breathing, the ringing in my ears, and the ocean's crashing waves. I love the sound of those waves. I haven't been to the beach in several days. I've let the cold get control of me. I am lying in my bed and it is toasty warm under my covers. Outside the blankets, my nose and cheeks are cold . . . even my hair feels cold. Can hair feel cold? My bladder woke me up at 4am. I have been telling it to "hold on" ever since. The heater kicks in at 6am. I'm thinking another five minutes after that and it should be warm enough for a bathroom break. Too bad the toilet seat will still be cold. Is there such thing as heated toilet seats? Yes, I have let the cold get control of me. I am taking a stand. Today, I will eat lunch at the beach no matter the weather. The crashing waves will calm me, I know they will.
