KrissiK Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!~D Friday!!!! School and work!!! Last night I had an extremely vivid dream that seems like it was straight out of my anxiety closet. I was in some city and knew which buses I had to take to get home, but the right one just never came. Bus after bus came to the terminal and I would ask if it was the right one and it never was. So then I started thinking about other options to get home, but I didn’t know how else to get home other than the bus. Now, someone tell me the psychological meaning of that dream. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to mean a desire for stability or feeling unstable. I have a similar dream all the time. Usually I know I'm in NYC. Usually I don't have money to get home even though I know multiple ways. Usually I have at least one child with me. Eventually I usually figure out to go to the police station and ask for help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Last night I dreamed that the boys told me they wanted to put up the chickens but they couldn't because they couldn't find any of them. So I went out, and they were all there, plus about twenty more, and there were so many chicks and half-grown chickens running around. Clearly, they had multiplied on me. I said we needed to either build a bigger barn or eat chickens. We built a bigger barn. I have no idea what that dream means either. LOL.

Susan in TN Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Good morning! Happy Friday the 13th! 😁 When I was in high school, I would panic every day after school because I was nearly blinded with the daylight when coming out of the building and couldn't open my eyes long enough to find my bus in the lineup of 20 or 30 buses out front. I didn't have the good sense to find myself a pair of dark sunglasses. My one playing job this fall has been cancelled. I am really bummed. It pays super well and the music is always beautiful and fun (not stressful). I guess it was to be expected. My kids are all applying to be extras on Stranger Things. I don't know where they got this idea, but at this point I'm like, what the heck, might as well. Coffee!

Familia Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I really mad that my order with mags.com didn't go through. Or, appears not to have. I ordered from a catalogue. Gave my opinion & got an offer for free mags. In years past, I would have HATED that. But, hey, there's no clutter here & I'm old school, so, "Why not?" I thought. I ordered some travel magazines, antiques and car/driver for DH. We are 'throw away right away' types, so I am not concerned about them hanging around long. But, the dumb 'complete magazine order' screen kept spinning and spinning and spinning, ad nauseam. I just clicked off of the page. No patience for it! Another Lynn, I will make that soup! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsom salts: they give your body a good dose of magnesium, which can help with sleep, anxiety, and muscle issues. And constipation, lol. Just swirl in a cup or so to a warm bath and soak. Many people tend to be magnesium deficient, and this is a pretty cheap and relaxing way to deal with it. I don't think the soak has to be right before bed.

Wheres Toto Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Good Morning! I slept in a little bit today and it was so nice. I'm having my tea and a nice egg sandwich that dh made for me before he went outside to power wash the chimney. Evidently that is the next item on the list, they are going to be stuccoing the outside of the very old chimney. And eventually the inside too I think. I'm heading over to the science center in a little while. I'm meeting up with my teacher to develop some plans for makeup classes since we've already had to cancel a few times. We have options, it's just a matter of working out the details and implementing them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) This week everyone seemed to be feeling blah and dreary. I think it was the weather. It was blah and dreary.

Wheres Toto Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I bought a vibrating, warming foot bath a while ago with a gift card I had and dh made fun of me. Guess who uses it just as much, if not more than I do? Yep, dh. We use lavender epsom salts and it is soooo amazing. Our tub isn't very deep or long so we don't do full baths often, but the foot bath is wonderful. We both have old/long term ankle and knee injuries and it really does help. Which reminds me, dh seems to have messed up his recently operated on knee doing all this outside work on the house. I should tell him to soak his feet because it may help.

KrissiK Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I am really kind of enjoying high school vicariously through DD. She is everything I never was in high school. I was shy, awkward, lacked self-confidence, went along with the crowd and was basically an idiot. She is pretty and sweet and has a lot of friends. She has strong convictions and won’t let people push her around. She works hard and actually had quite a few boys indicate to her that they wanted to go to Sadies with her, but she’s kind of clueless that all these boys like her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
