I woke very early today after a fitful sleep overall. The house felt a bit humid making me uncomfortable at times. I also woke from dreams that created some negative emotions. The last one was quite vivid. I don't recall much of the others. So, I was up early and ate breakfast while listening to a recorded program. While listening to the television I fell asleep again. I didn't sleep for long but after a couple of naps, I felt up to doing laundry and some household stuff.
Out my back window today a group of workers planted about a dozen headstones in the cemetery. I can't clearly see all of them from the kitchen window, so will have to walk out tomorrow for an accurate count. It is wonderful to see this happening. The project will have a park area on the opposite side from the house, but that may not get done for another year. The fundraising process is slow, but moving upward. It was a hotter sunny day for the workers, but they completed a lot. The stones are held in place with wooden braces until the cement sets.
I recall an episode of MASH where each of the main characters fell asleep during a major offensive and not-stop resultant OR time. Each had a peculiar nightmare based on the helplessness they felt. In it the Shakespearean phrase -- To sleep perchance to dream -- was spoken. I thought of that today when thinking of the disruptions of the anxiety-based dreams last night. The major emotions were less pleasant than I'd like to experience if dreaming. Most nights I don't even recall what I dreamed or even if I dreamed. Last night wasn't like that. A song about more pleasant dreams came to mind as I pondered today. Keep safe. Enjoy!
