Well, following last night’s dream, I most certainly did leave the light on when I went back to sleep at four-thirty a.m. – and that seemed to help. My alarm went off at 6:30, but I hit the snooze button, turned off the light, and gave myself about another 45 minutes to sleep. I’m sure the dreams have much to do with sleeping in a new space, facing a new direction, and getting adjusted — but if they continue for another two days or so, I think I’ll move the bed so that my head faces East instead of North and see if that helps at all.
For all the talk I did yesterday morning about how much stuff I wanted to get done… laundry, yardwork, house cleaning, etc. – I ended up doing just about nothing at all. As soon as T had the room set up, he had work to do so he left, and Stinkerbelle took off with my Mom, so I considered that the perfect opportunity for what I thought would be a quick nap. I slept three and a half hours, and woke groggy because of the dream I’d had during that nap.
Once I woke from the nap and wrote out the dream, I just sort of “lingered” for a while. I sat out in the living room on the sofa – not doing anything. Not only is the satellite out for the television at the moment, but the t.v. itself broke, making it impossible to watch movies. I wasn’t in the mood to read, didn’t have the energy to clean, and ultimately decided to come back here and work on the Magick Compass and the Moon Magick Page. I was working on the Moon Magick page when T called. When I mentioned that the t.v. was broke, he decided to come back by. He took the t.v. apart, but wasn’t able to make much progress with it, so he put it back together and decided it’d be best dropped off at the t.v. repair shop. He worked a bit more on my room, hanging a dream catcher and smudging with sage, hung out with Stinkerbelle and I for a bit, then headed out for the night.
And with that, my two days off are gone again… already.
I work today, but not as a server. Instead, I get the priviledge (cough) of being Server’s Assistant, otherwise known as S.A. – Not working for tips, my job today is to stand in the hot food window and prepare the trays of food. Add cole slaw to the sandwich platters, add biscuits with gravy and grits to the breakfast plates, make toast when necessary, fetch salads, and take to go orders. I really detest working on Sundays, and even more than that, I detest being S.A. on Sundays. I don’t mind being S.A. when it’s my turn… I just hate doing it on Sundays. Apparently, so does everyone else — I tried to give the shift away and no one wanted it. I also have to correct my schedule today to allow for Tuesday off so I can go back to Nashville to pick up Rhythm.
Aunt P and Uncle H are heading this way tonight. They’ll stay at my mother’s overnight, and then leave tomorrow – taking Stinkerbelle with them. She’ll fly back on the 26th, one week before the new school year starts.
There’s probably at least one more full week before I hear anything back on the home loan. I’m still on the edge of my seat over that whole process.
So that’s it for me this morning – nothing profound, no epiphanies, no enlightenment, no big moments of power… just one very sleepy girl on her way to work. But for now, I’ll carry on with today’s Daily Dose.
Life is good.

Hmm. Ive been having odd dreams too. Its funny, when Wist was a baby he was in our room and his heat lamp was on 24-7 and once kman and I got used to it, we mentioned how well we slept, cos we are both day sleepers. Now, when I get up early to put the heater on, I have trouble getting back to sleep….But this morning I rolled over and put my head on Kmans massive chest….That always works like a charm!
Yeah… having the right chest to rest the head on can, indeed, make all the difference in the world *dreamy sigh*.
