I'm feeling a bit jittery. There's work to do and all I can do is play with my feet, shake my sitting booty, and wring my hands as if waiting to hear "it's a girl!" at the hospital. The reason?
What I feel are restless legs.
My mother suffers from restless leg syndrome, and since being pregnant with PB, I have also. It's a strange thing, and hard to describe to someone who does not have it. For my mother, it happens at night, keeping her awake. Most of the time, that is when I would feel it too. But every once in a while, I get it during the day.
I feel like I need to run. I feel like there is no comfortable position for my legs or feet. I feel like I need to stretch but stretching does not help. I just feel all, well, jittery and stuff. And it's annoying.
Why now?! Come on, body, I need to work. I'm all bouncy and stuff and focused on my legs and this awful feeling and not on my work. Argh.
I will pace, bounce, massage, stretch, jump, squat, scream...and repeat.
I have got to get through this and on to more important things.

Awe Abs. My dad has restless leg syndrome too, and it seems awful. Have you tried acupuncture for it?
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I have an interview for a job at Upward Bound on Monday. I'm pretty excited about it. It isn't a teaching position, but at this point I feel like that may be a good thing for me. I can't wait to grab a beer or 5 with you when you are in Portland to catch up!
you are making my legs twitch.
