The cool insomnia club

I had an Asian daughter, Asian son-in law and two Asian grandsons. Everyone spoke mandarin , I had a hard time keeping up. We were on the docks and one place that started with a p was up a steep set of steps. Then we were in a hotel room, just one large room with roll up beds and candy. It was a game. Everyone took turns eating number by number. It was coming back up to my turn and twenty was a loose bit. I went to find a fork of spoon and ended up on an American toilet before going back. They were all wondering where I was but had moved on to the next game and I didn't get to try the gummy like hay. It was interesting understanding a foreign language.

I have a slight sore throat. That could be from sleeping with the fan last night but I wear my cpap mask and that covers my nose and mouth completely. I also feel achey and I wonder if its from the lack of sleep.

ETA: I slept several hours this evening and I feel better! Now lets hope I can sleep tonight.

I woke up ridiculously early, got up used the bathroom then went back to bed. My dreams were very covid aware. My county jumped from 87 to 112! I was in a small car and driving though a huge huge store where eveyone was in cars and driving to areas to look at merchandise. Sort of like how the old department stores were there was an area for gloves and a different area for hats. Hats were all the range as people can see big hats from a distance. Then I was shopping a huge deli picking out different delicacies for my daughter's graduation from college. I was joking with the person that she did it all backwards having kids first, then marriage then college and we would have the food on benches so everyone could drive up in their cars and get some food and drinks them we'd be a a drive-in movie theater. Everyone would park and my daughter would drive in front and they'd all Hong and toast!

Nammu that is so cool ! I wish I could drive through my stores to shop LOL But alsa... Id get stuck behind a slow poke , Maybe then I hope I drive a tank and just roll over them...

On a ER episode I watch the other day there was a crazy man driving a tank to the ER because he was mad , The show highlighted just how hard it is to get mental health care....

Are they doing drive through graduation in your town? They are doing that for our class of 2020 .. I feel back for the kids, Not being able to do the walk.. They talk of plans in the future to allow for a real graduation, but people will probable scatter and getting on with the rest of there life..

What goodies did you pick up at the Deli .. I am soooooo freaking hungry, Im fat and I should not be eating so much , But I am stress eating and I suspect I am so not alone !

Speaking of... I need to go make dinner

Nammu · May 24, 2020 at 06:32 PM

Seafood was the main thing I recognized. Ha ha I couldn't tell you what I was looking at but most of it looked good. I don't feel bad for the graduates they get to tell the story of how they missed the walk for the rest of their lives. They will pull out that story everytime they want the grandkids to feel bad. " back in my day we didn't get a graduation ceremony....."

instead of being one in a hundred other ceremonies their unique. I made bread twists this morning and there gone, nom nom yeah I'm stress eating too.

May 24, 2020 at 06:42 PM

I'm afraid I may not sleep tonight on my own because I am really anxious, so I took two klonopins just to make sure I sleep. I don't want to be awake while I am very anxious. I'd rather sleep through it.

I got like 5 hours last night because I was tossing and turning (not due to anxiety though, unlike tonight).

I wouldn't mind taking a 3rd klonopin if the first 2 don't work... but I just took the klonopins about 15 mins ago.

Had horrible sleep last night. Way to hot to get comfortable. Finally had lucid dreams after 6 am. Was in a huge specialty store. They had cult favorites there and I tried on bright green trainers that went half way up the leg. They were part of a running space outfit. Then Sheldon was there and fighting me for a new Picard uniform. That had white trainers that went up the leg and an off white ones with sleeves from the 70's. The green trainers were just my size but not much room to move my toes the off white trainers were a half size larger but more expensive plus Sheldon was taking all the accessories. I was also looking around for toys for my granddaughter who's gonna be 3 soon and everything was so male-female marble games for boys and everything for girls was soft and pink. There was one game I was interested in the kids stand back to back with a pooch on the stomach and throws a marble back over their head and tries to get it in the others pooch. There was a big bin with discounted metal action figures and Sheldon and I were fighting over them.

~Christina · May 26, 2020 at 06:53 PM

Well all I did was flip flop like a fish thrown on the deck.. Maybe tonight i'll get some .. One can hope

Nammu · May 26, 2020 at 06:57 PM
