Haven't been sleeping very well the last week or so. And last night it caught up with me. Ray came over and at 9 I told him I wasn't feeling well and curled up against his chest. About 15 minutes later a commerical woke me from a doze. I asked Ray if he was going to stay the night. He said yes so I went to bed a few minutes later.

Got comfy and fell right asleep. About an hour got up to let the boyfriend out. He decided it was too hot in my apt for him to sleep and woke me to lock the door behind him. Don't know if it was snowing when he left.

Woke up to about 2.5 inches of snow. Perfect, light, wet snowball making snow. The news was making it out like the roads were terrible and stay home if you can. I worked 1/2 hr extra yesterday and if I worked 1/2 extra today I could afford to go in about 1 hr late. So I did. Traffic wasn't that bad, probably because they were already at work. Semis passing me on the interstate didn't do my nerves any good especially since I was contending with black ice too. Don't think I drove any faster than 55 mph.

Last weekend came home to a message on the machine. Sounded like someone had called from a cell phone and didn't leave a message but didn't hang up either. I listened to see if I could recognize a voice. I did, R's.

Sounded like he was walking in the snow with some other guy. The only words I could make out was that he knew a someone in Alburqurque but didn't have his number.

Mental note taken.

A few days later I call him. "Yeah, I had a dream about you the other day."

"oh," he says

"You and some other guy were walking in the snow and you were saying that you knew business contact or something in Alburqurque but didn't have a phone number."

[long pause]

"uuuuhhhhhhh-hhhhhuuuuuuhhhhh......[pause] interesting....well...."

"isn't that weird?"

Well, not really because a week before I visited him in El Paso years ago I had a dream about his house and called him and described it. He said I described it excactly. I knew which direction the house faced, that his front yard had a slope, what the front door and porch looked like, the type of glass in the door, the only thing I was wrong on was the exterior, which I dreamt was grey brick. He accused me of knowing someone else in El Paso and having them drive by his house and tell me about it.

Later on in the conversation he interuped me and said, "Alburqurque, huh? I don't know anyone there, I mean not really."

Since Monday at the gym I can do all my sets and reps except at one machine. It works the biceps. No matter how hard I try I can't get more than 1 1/2 sets before feeling major burning and muscle fatigue. but since I'm doing so well at everything else I don't feel that bad about it. I'll just keep trying.

The first week I started I could only do 1 or 1 1/2 sets at about a quarter of the machines.

The first day I started she weighed me at 108 with shoes. Just now I weighed myself and it was 117 without shoes. I'm not going to the gym today since the roads are getting icy. When I go tomorrow I'll weigh myself then.

I've noticed that my appetite is a little bigger but I don't think it's been that big.
