What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

The dreams that I've had as of late. More real than ever. The first one was an old boss comforting me about someone by a specific name that was in the hospital, but I couldn't tell which someone or why they were in there. I woke the next day to learn a friend with the same name had been admitted to the burn unit of a hospital for 4 weeks as a result of a drunken accident. Woah.

The next one was night before last. I dreamed that my stepson called to tell us the storm wasn't going to pass them by and he figured he better call to check in. He said he had tried to live a good life and do the right things and was pissed that this is what was going to take him out. We talked a little while then I passed the phone to my husband and he started talking to his dad.

I woke up right then at 5:30 a.m. and observed our curtains blowing straight out from the strong winds and saw lightning dancing and heard thunder start rumbling. I checked the weather and saw we were under a shelter in place (oh, the irony) alert with pending 70 mph winds and 1 inch hail. There were no storms in the area my stepson lives in. Glad he called my dream state to wake me up. We went to the basement until it settled.
 
I'm thinking I need to wash up and practice some self-care today. I also need to comb my hair, I got depressed and let it go for a little while so now there are a bunch of knots.

Been there. Done that.

FYI: If you're having a difficult time getting the knots out, I've had luck using olive oil or peanut butter. I start putting it on the hair just above the knot, and work my way slowly down. Oh, and start with the knots closest to the end of the hair shafts, and work your way up. Otherwise, you'll create a gigantic mega-knot that'll be a nightmare to untangle.
