After a fitful sleep,
caused by weird dreams – one of which was so disturbing that it snapped me awake
at 2 a.m., followed by first being unwilling to fall back asleep and see that
again, then unable to fall back asleep when I was once again clear, I finally
did evidently sleep because I found myself waking up at 9:00 a.m.
thinking I had only two hours to prepare for Pizza Tuesday, to be followed by
the End of Summer Luau.
So, quickly jumping
in the shower so I could wash my hair, I began to think, because of a night of
sleepus interruptus -- third night in a row actually, that I really wasn’t up
to rushing around to do all I had to do to prepare – breakfast, makeup, fresh
manicure, and would skip Pizza Tuesday all together and just drop into the afternoon
Luau, take a few photos for the facebook page, then head back to my unit.
A short while later, I began to think …. WAIT!
Is this Tuesday or Monday? What did I see on TV last night? Realizing it
was Big Brother and Preacher, both of which are on my schedule for Sunday night,
I breathed a sigh of relief that today is Monday, not Tuesday.
Later still, trying to figure out why I’ve had three nights of exhausting dreams, I realized
that instead of meditating just before bed or reading something enlightening,
I’d been reading Omarosa’s book … Unhinged.
Even more telling is
the fact the part of the dream I found so awful that it woke me up had to do
with one of the Orange Traitor’s sons going off his nut and first stalking a
woman then doing something to her too terrible to mention, except there was
screaming.
Putting aside the
politics, the book is well-written and interesting, quickly reaching the hard
to put down level, even though I’ve not yet gotten to anything disturbing or new
– except I never knew Omarosa had a pageant and beauty queen background.
It would have been nice to see photos in the book covering that period of her life. But not only are there none of those, there aren't any photos at all, which one would expect in a biography, which is more like what this book is -- thankfully more about her rather than him … thus far.
At any rate, now
making the correlation of three nights of disturbing dreams to three nights of
reading Unhinged, needing a good night’s sleep tonight so I can be ready for
tomorrow’s events, I’m going to have to go back to my regular schedule of meditating
or reading something enlightening tonight.
I’ll be sacrificing
some of my daytime needlepoint time to reading Unhinged, starting today, right
after breakfast which, inasmuch as I got a late start and it's now after 11:00, appears breakfast will be more like brunch.
Breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack time, dinner, supper, late night snack. They are all one continuous event when you are retired.
