We had quite the lightning show all night, too. I could clearly see the flashes and hear the thunder. Many of the large storm cells bypassed us altogether, staying to one side or another. But we got plenty. I haven't heard yet about any relief from the fires, but I sure hope it helped those, as well, and didn't start any new ones.
As you might have gathered, I had another sleepless night, for the most part. More nightmares, plus I was a little tense/wired in the evening, and that carries over to the night. One dream I remember parts of involved a cat, a neighbor in this building who I don't see very often, and something about food that turned out to be empty containers. All with their own bit of angst involved. Weird. They are always weird.
I can't remember if I've mentioned this here before or not, but it bears repeating. A couple of years ago my son told me that soy sauce was good for burns. I was skeptical, but next time I got a minor kitchen burn I tried it, and it worked. No pain. Just splash it on. I've tried it numerous times, and it has always worked. Yesterday, I splashed a little hot oil onto my left wrist and could tell it was less minor than most of mine are. Sensitive skin, and all that. When I got a chance, I splashed the soy sauce over it and the pain immediately went away. I rinsed it off fairly quickly because I didn't like the smell of it. Then, for the most part, forgot about it. This morning I have two blisters where the oil hit skin, but there is still no pain. I don't know how or why this works, but it does. I think I looked it up once and saw some reasons, but of course I don't remember them.
Another storm cell coming through -- mostly wind at this point, but feels as if some wet stuff will be involved. Nice.
