Legs on Fire, Missing Goldfish

Soooo..

Two nights ago I woke up with a sensation that my legs were burning. I had put on a sports balm before going to bed (on my legs but also my shoulders and arms) and I woke up because my skin on my calves were on fire (but no where else). I tried everything--wiping them down with cold water, even taking a shower and rinsing the balm off with soap, but nothing. I was starting to panic. They were so hot that I had to cool them down with zip-locked ice packs. The next morning I woke up and it was almost surreal. Did that really happen? Yes, ESP'd the two thawed zip-locked ice packs at the foot of the bed.

Then last night, I woke up again, frantically searching for my two bowls of swimming goldfish. I do not own goldfish, and pretty much never have. I was, again, in a near-panic. I went to bed disheartened for they were nowhere in sight, and it was only this morning that I was able to tell myself, Miss Ai, you don't own goldfish.

Oh, yeah.

Could perhaps just maybe remotely have something to do with being on international media reporting news of huge important to a lot of people? (Like being a goldfish in a goldfish bowl. And who was the goldfish's keeper, watching out for you? Probably you didn't have one, besides yourself.)

Just a thought. Really.

I suppose it could have something to do with my golden personality, swimmingly good looks, and big puffy cheeks. I was the goldfish keeper. The keeper of nonexhistant goldfish. Hmmmm....
