Sleeping

Night before last, I spent most of the night dreaming about sleeping.  Having had huge trouble falling asleep and being awake until well past midnight (after heading up to sleep before 8), when I finally got to sleep, I dreamed about it.  Including sleeping standing up?  Dreaming I was in some weird 'space' where you leaned back against a wall and slept.

Never mind that the space also included a toilet and while sleeping, you were standing in the toilet bowl.

It was spotlessly clean - and dry, come to think of it.

My mind is strange.

Last night, I dreamed I was with a group of people who had two bodies in the trunk of the car we were in (it's Scandal....it's really not what you think it's going to be) and we had to find a creek.  We made a sharp turn and the car was on the top of a huge reservoir, about to slide in.  We carefully extricated ourselves from that predicament - and promptly found ourselves in some kind of underground Girl Scout-like 'camp'.  There were zillions of activities going on constantly; we kept getting roped in to all these 'things' to be done.  Got lost inside the underground bunker where the 'camp' was held.  All while stashing our stuff - including the two bodies - in a rolling cart as we desperately tried to stick together and dispose of them.  They kept splitting us up (I don't know who the other people were with me - dream strangers) and getting us to practice cheer leading; needle crafts.  It was crazy bizarre - and that I remember it vividly, even more so.

I made an appointment with my doctor online on Sunday - amazed that he had openings.  Visited him yesterday and he said the rash on my arms is most definitely not Vitamin D over-dosing related.  It's an infection of some kind....sore throat, headache...so he gave me antibiotics which I dutifully took last night. Hoping one more dose later today will have me feeling good as new.  'Cuz right this minute?  Not so great.

I have to go in today - more 'have to' than I can explain on these pages - continuing the trend of being hopelessly behind.  I want to go in and close the door and just be alone to ponder the budget things that need pondering - but I won't be able to do that.

Yesterday, I begged for mercy in the form of 'how about you gather all the things that need my signature and I can sign them all at once a couple times today'?  Vs. the never ending stream of people coming in for something.  It's hard to break concentration over and over and over - and the stuff I'm concentrating on isn't adding two plus two.  It's really massive stuff and it's impossibly hard with a fuzzy head and a never ending stream of people who need me for something.

My boss closes his door a lot - and I'm thinking if it's good enough for him, why not me too?

Tomorrow is my birthday which to me is just another day but friends came by (yes, interrupting but oh well) to say 'let's do lunch Wednesday - you pick'.  My pick is the local diner where the berry cobbler is to die for and one of them is going to place a call today to request they have berry something.  Cobbler, pie...anything will do -

The miraculous thing that happened, though, is the local (only two hours away) casino I frequent offered me two free nights - and I booked them!  June 14th and 15th.  Returning home on a Monday morning and I will simply be in late that day.  Two glorious days of sleeping; watching Scandal; playing my Facebook games; a little gambling (not exceeding my limit).  I can't wait.  Feeling a little guilty about leaving J. behind but he will have company to keep him busy and enjoy some 'man time'.

I slept like crap last night (again, still) so it will be another day of fuzziness.  I can't figure it out.  I head up to bed as soon as I feel even remotely sleepy but then can't rest.  Tonight, I will try to stay vertical longer.
