Having had a 9-hour sleep last night, it felt so good after 3 nights of getting no more than 5 hours sleep at my mom’s house. I woke up at 10am this morning my mind feeling fresh and rested. Although my back aches like crazy, a usual occurance when I sleep past 8am for some reason I couldn’t understand. My sister too suffers from back pain pretty much chronically. Acupuncture helps to alleviate the pain she said and suggested I give it a try.

The past 3 nights at my mom’s house, my sisters and I stayed up past midnight chatting. The night before they left for KL, we chat until 4am despite a long drive back home the next day. Although I seldom drive long distance, I understand it is never easy to stay awake during long distance drives let alone having to be alert for 2 straight hours on the road. As a passenger most of the time, I am guaranteed to pass out within 15 minutes of hitting the highway much to my husband’s annoyance.
