Holidays...

Another holiday in paradise! I haven't been out after dark to see any decorated houses yet, hope to be able to make myself do so by Christmas Eve. At least it gets dark early here, 4:30 pm PT. You know that you've cut yourself off from family and friends when you only get 5 holiday cards for the whole season. Maybe people just don't send them anymore. The ones I do get are very original though. Hand made or nice un-posed family photos.

I have so many ideas and thoughts I want to post here, but seem to go through a brain freeze when posting time comes. To me, this should be like an ongoing novel of my life, there are enough funny and serious things to interest others, but I can't quite seem to get the words out of my head onto the screen. It's like I need to be wired to the screen and just make the ideas flow. I wish I knew how others are able to do that.

I have dreams at night when I sleep good. They are so real that I often wake up thinking I'm really in the past and it's happening. It's not always good, and for some reason rarely in color. Do you dream in color or black and white? At least once a week I dream I'm paralyzed and upon wakening, can't move my legs for quite a while. Funny thing here...I have a "waveless waterbed" which has a several inch pillowtop mattress pad on top of the water tubes so that there's no jiggle. I've been waking up in what I thought was a puddle of sweat for the past month or so. Turns out there's a slight hole in a water tube!!!! Ack...had to order a new pillow top and 2 new tubes, meanwhile, I sleep in a small puddle. Could have something to do with the fact I share the bed with a husband, 3 dogs and a cat.

A nice 12 hour sleeping day. Seems to be how it goes lately! 12 hours awake, 12 hours asleep. Didn't get to bed until 1 am this morning, woke up for good at 3:30 pm this afternoon. Must have been the glass of wine last night. It doesn't mix well with my meds.

Till next time...TG
