  • Dreams and Sickness

    Last night, I dreamt Bev's mother died while I was visiting. She looked so old and grey and small... The shock of seeing her die woke me up and I remember it took me a while to get back to sleep again. The dreams in the rest of the night are somewhat disjointed, but I remember that in one, I was talking to Tessa Gillum (Tessa Church when I knew her back in Ashland). I don't remember much of the dream other than at some point, I asked her how exactly she'd gotten married and she told me that they weren't really married, not yet despite the two kids. For whatever reason, I don't have answers to follow-up questions like whether they'd only had a legal wedding so far (Tessa is Baptist IIRC, which means she'd really want a church wedding) or if there was some legal technicality or somesuch. That's really all I can remember of my dreams right now.

    Oh, and I am feeling better if not 100%. The OTC drugs I'm taking are reducing the congestion and coughing down to a bearable minimum. *wry grin* I woke up this morning to find my left upper arm was sore. My first thought was that my nightly push-up regimen (keep doing sets interspersed with light reading to cool down until I can't do any more) was having an effect, but then I realized that that was where I'd gotten my flu shot early this week. Well, darn.
