Who else takes off their work clothes as soon as they get home?

This weekend just wasn’t long enough. I have a pretty busy week ahead. I have several classes to teach, at least one VIP tour to give, a few meetings, and to top it all off, I have to go to the dentist to have a tooth prepped for a crown. However, all I want to do this morning is to crawl back in bed, but one of those classes I mentioned is today. Hopefully, the headache I woke up with this morning will go away as the day goes on. Usually, when I wake with a migraine, it goes away by mid-morning. I hope that’s how today goes.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week! 

Only one more day to work this week. I worked from home yesterday instead of today because I have a class to teach this afternoon. It should be a fun class, and I’ve taught variations on this class many times. Once the class is over, I can pack up and go home, and my weekend will begin.

Thankfully, since the rain has passed by, my migraine is better, and my abdomen pain seems to be slowly getting better. Even though I’m feeling better, I have no weekend plans. I want just a nice relaxing weekend to continue recovering from this GI illness I’ve been dealing with for the past two week.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

I’ve said before that I don’t often remember dreams. When I do remember them, they tend to be very vivid, at least right after I wake up. They fade as the day goes on. Last night was a night of one dream after another. They never seemed to be the same. Each dream had their own unique scenario but they had one common denominator. The dreams all featured naked men, and all the men had one thing in common. They were all uncircumcised. Most Americans are circumcised, so my personal experience with uncircumcised men is limited. Who knows why I had a fixation last night on uncircumcised men, but I guess we really never know why we dream what we dream.

Have a great week everyone!

I woke up around 4 am this morning from an unusual dream. I was dreaming that I was at a restaurant having a sandwich. It wasn’t just any sandwich or restaurant. This particular restaurant had large round sandwiches, about 6-7” in diameter with a rounded top that was about 4-5” high. The bread had been hollowed out in the middle. The sandwich was then filled with a variety of meats and toppings. In the dream, it was unclear what the contents of the sandwich were. It was similar to a muffaletta you can get in New Orleans. Usually a muffaletta is cut into quarters, but this sandwich was served whole. The restaurant had a policy: if you could eat the whole sandwich in a certain amount of time, your meal was free. Otherwise, you paid for a pretty expensive sandwich.

I know these types of restaurants exist. There was a show on the Food Network about these types of food challenges. I have never had a desire to take part in this, though I know people who have. However, in this dream, I was a willing participants, and in the dream I was heartily eating away at the sandwich. Then, in the dream, I realize that the sandwich tasted like foam was difficult to eat. That’s when I woke up and sadly realized I had bitten off a piece of the foam on my CPAP mask, which is what prevents air from leaking out of the mask. If the foam is compromised then air escapes and causes a whistling noise that can make it difficult to sleep. 

After this happened, I tried to go back to sleep, but after laying there for about 20 minutes and realizing I had a headache that was worsening, I decided to get up, feed Isabella, and make breakfast. By the way, I often wake with a headache which is something I’ve learned to live with from wearing the CPAP, but it usually goes away shortly after I get up and take off the headgear. Before anyone suggests an Inspire implant that eliminates the need for a CPAP, I did all the testing for Inspire and was told it would not work for me. So, my choices are to wake with a headache each morning but get a good night’s sleep or wake up with a raw throat and the feeling that I barely slept at all (not to mention the waking up several times throughout the night).

Anyway, it was a strange dream, and now, I have to buy a new CPAP mask. CVS now sells them, but according to the CVS website my local store is out of stock. So, I’ll have to order one from Amazon; however, it will take 1-2 weeks to arrive. Amazon is less expensive(l ($30 versus $60 anywhere else). There is one place in Ohio that said they can get it to me by Thursday, but again, it’s quite expensive. Ugh! Why do scrap supplies have to be so expensive? All this because of a really strange dream about a sandwich of all things.
