AM- awake at 6:40am (PST) after 8+ hours of sleep🛌💤😅. Canoe slept thru the night, so that was awesome. However my poor husb was up from 3am on, wringing his hands about the imperialism that appears to be taking over the world again…..😒
Dream recall is faded but there are still *memories* of wading thru mud, like the gals in The Poisonwood Bible, as they make their way out of the Congo. Obviously, it was not me in the book wading thru mud, but in my dream it was…🤔
Outside is foggy, frozen, cloudy, 23 (F) degrees feels like 14☁️😶‍🌫️🥶🥶🥶

It was a horrific week on that front, to be sure.
I'm still holding on to hope that enough people in your country know it's a horrible idea that you'll be able to turn things around.

AM- awakened by Canoe at MN, but he responded to my “enough, go to your bed,” and did that. So, I slept until 6:45am (PST), after close to 9 hours of horizontal time, with a slight headache and feeling pretty dopey 🛌💤🥱
Dream recall is hazy at best….🤔

AM- awake at 6:30am (PST) after 8+ hours of sleep🛌💤🥱
Dream recall: woke up in the wee hours convinced that my Canoe doggo had been left outside in the freezing cold and had to check his bed and crate to confirm he was inside. Then this morning I was dreaming about when I was little and wandering around in the what I knew as a beautiful huge beach house on the Indian (we called it that at the time, but, Native American is proper, now) reservation where we lived. The folks that owned it were elderly and kind and related to the spinster lady that my mom paid to babysit me. Their house had tons of windows that looked out onto the Tulalip Bay, and was full of those thick glass balls that had floated over from Japan. I thought it was magical🥰🥹

AM- awake at 7am (PST) after 9 hours of horizontal time🛌💤😏. My dear husb was having a fair amount of restless (thrashing) legs when he came back to bed, so I didn’t sleep for at least an hour waiting for that to subside.🙄Then I was dreaming about one of my cousins to whom I am quite close….camping, or on a tour or something…details are gone🤔

AM- awake at 7:10am (PST) after 8ish hours of sleep💤🛌
Dream recall: I have a cartload of merchandise supposedly at a Walmart. But, there are many convention halls/rooms where I am meeting people I “know,” and so I just keep looking for the main store. Eventually, outside, I am able to find my way to the main entrance with my cartload of goods and proceed inside, with many stops and distractions….🤔

AM- awake at 7am (PST) after 9ish hours of sleep.🛌💤🙂.
I did dream, but the recall is sketchy…there was one of my neighbors, who in the dream had a huge garden, was re-landscaping from 2 houses away, and his yard was butted up against mine, so the dogs were all in close quarters. There was my daughter, who was super distant with me in the dream (not like real life, at all), with her friends *from school.*. And, a lot more trees than we actually have, here….
