AM- woke up to my alarm at 6am (PDT). My finger seems the same as yesterday, but my new bandage is more flexible, so there is more movement capability and less pressure on the wounded tip. 🥳👏🏼

I woke up in the night from a dream that I had an open hole in my right side waist area. Like an inch in diameter and an inch deep. With fat showing. A clean wound, that needed packing, and it hurt. I had to check myself to make sure it was NOT real. I actually WAS hurting there, but made some kind of decision to avoid the area and turn over anyway.😅 Such an odd response to emotional stress/anxiety.

Crazy dream! I've had that happen before where something was hurting a little irl but my dreams made it seem like a way worse injury like what the hell brain?! So unsettling when you first wake up.

Glad you got a better and more comfortable bandage for your finger!

AM- woke up without alarm at 7:45am (PDT), to sunny skies and 60 (F)degrees. That is crazy warm for this time of year on the west side of the cascades. My daughter is on a plane flying from Lisbon back into Washington DC, then here to Portland.

AM- woke up WAY early, again, as we all crashed last night by 9pm. Daughter is heading to work super early today, and is still having some jet lag, but feels pretty good otherwise. Kiddo is quite clingy to her, but we expected that. 🥴

AM- woke up well before my alarm at 5:15am (PDT); daughter was already up due to jet lag messing up her sleep schedule. There was a big hairy rolling kiddo meltdown last night that I’d had to bail out on cuz my nerves just couldn’t take it. This morning, everyone seems cheery🥳

AM- woke up before my alarm again. This time at 5:15am (PDT). I think I will walk more today and see if I can sleep the whole 8 hours tonight, in anticipation of the trip home tomorrow.

AM- woke up before my alarm😵‍💫🙄

Packing up, prepping for daughter to drive me 1 1/2 hours thru the Gorge to meet my husb who is coming 3 1/2 hours with doggos to meet us. I am SOOOO ready😎This was a really good experience, for all of us. Not sure I wanna repeat it anytime soon. But, perhaps in time…🥴

AM- woke up at nearly 6:30am (PDT), with a sore arm on the Covid side. The night was long and uncomfortable. It’s smoky/hazy outside, makes my eyes burn. We are prepping for my husb to leave on Fri for a 17 day long road trip to see his mom, his best friend and his step mom. I can feel the 7th anniversary of my mom’s death, which is tomorrow. It’s emotional…..

AM- woke up in the night with Boo fussing for some reason neither of us could figure out🥴. Then before 5:30am, he was fussing again. Just sitting in his bed fessing. Wtf…? I had to lead him downstairs to…his water…? I think he just needs an escort to everywhere, these days😓

AM- woke up before 7am (PDT), with a headache, which went away when I started moving. Doggos let me sleep all night, thank the gawds. No husb here, means doggos are now on MY routine. Weird that they seem to know to go back to it😵‍💫

Click to expand...

Is it possible he is having problems with vision or vertigo/loss of balance? Trudy definitely does not want to move around in the dark anymore. For a while she was spending part of the night on my bed and part on the floor. When she decided she wanted to get up onto the bed in the middle of the night, she would bark. I'd wake up, turn on the bedside lamp, and she would climb into the bed and settle right down to sleep. She would not climb up in the dark though!
