Last night was one of those “tossing/turning, up and
down” sleep interrupted nights for me!
And for this I blame my father…my brother does too! We all suffer(ed) often
with those charley-horse leg cramps that make you roar out of slumber.
My grandmother (hmmm, maybe it’s her fault…) would
stagger into the bathroom and put her knotted foot onto the surface of the cold
floor. My brother’s relief is acquired by sitting on the toilet seat cover and
applying his soles, with great athleticism, to the outer sides of the toilet
bowl.
A colleague’s eyes opened
wider when I was discussing my short sleep and how I invariably roll a cow
magnet over my cramped tendon or leg muscle. It may not be scientific, but
seems to bring relief for me.
If you aren’t familiar with a
cow magnet, neither was she! These are readily available at a farm supply store
– farmers use them to prevent cattle from digesting metallic objects the
animals swallow while grazing. Google™ this for your own info and interest!
However convoluted the transition may feel, I reflect
as always on the parallels to doing business as a professional REALTOR®. While
foraging, it should be noted that I don’t habitually swallow nails, barbed wire
or the like – though the “gut” feeling may be similar from time to time. A tried and true remedy to “make the pathway
pleasant and smooth for my clients” is extending magnetic appeal.
