Car and Nightmare

 Monday, I received a call from the dealership asking for Mrs. (my maiden name).  I was confused. They could not explain how they got my name. They asked what my last name was now. I just refused and asked what she wanted. The salesman wanted us to come in and talk with him. I checked with Tommy and said 1pm. We arrived and they wanted us to come inside. We would not and they were not happy. I was told to call a certain number for him. No, his number is not working. Finally, I got hold of the dealership and the guy said he would give him a message. 

This time, the salesman went to Tommy's window and said hello to us. He was not his cordial self as the day we talked with him. He seemed to want us to say something. It turned out (he said) that the company called us without reading his notes and comments. We said an unfriendly goodbye and left. 

I think they are jerking us around, thinking they could act interested and we would jump through their hoops. 

We talked it over and think we might just go ahead and put down a substantial amount and get the cars. I know that is foolish. But, you don't know how tired I am, and Tommy gets exhausted, too. It takes him longer than it does me. Maybe not. Maybe we will still shop.

The electrician will not pick up the phone or call back. Dirty word to him. 

Tommy just looked out the door, but not the storm door and I heard a long grunt as he closed the door. I asked him what the matter was. He said, "It just looks hot." 

I went to bed again before 10 pm, woke at 2:30 am having a horrible, long-lasting nightmare that left me really shaken, went back to sleep at 6 am. I left a note for Tommy to wake me at 9 am. I thought I had a doctor's appointment today! It looks like I am back to sleeping at night again. 

This Holter Monitor is annoying me. It itches. I have another eleven days to go. 

Last week when I talked to the city about the yard and abandoned dogs, I said, "Oh, by the way." Then I told her about the weeds that obscure the view leaving the Publix parking lot. A few days later, the city had mowed the right of way at the house near the exit. I also told her about a coil of what appeared to be line from a tv cable service. She told me I would have to call the internet companies and find out who left it there. 

It is attached to an electric pole, attached at the top. I said it seemed dangerous for the children I had seen touching it. If a child died, I would notify the authorities I had voiced my concern. Well, it was gone, too. There is still a coil attached to the fence. I will have Tommy cut it off to throw away. Children have been known to accidentally hang themselves. 

The yard next door is back to almost the same shape as before--tall grass and even taller weeds. The vines covering everything are recovering, too.  And, we saw the big dog after hearing it barking. ah woo! ah woo! What kind of dog is that? I suppose it is spending time in a doghouse that is moved so it cannot be seen from the road or our yard. 

Has anyone worn a Holter Monitor? Did it make your chest itch?

A Nightmare

 Two nights ago or thereabouts, I dreamed I was talking to a very polished woman and I could barely hear her. As I asked her to speak more loudly, she looked puzzled and complied. However, I still could barely hear her. After a few embarrassing exchanges, it occurred to me I was deaf. That was a panic-inducing dream. Of course, I did not sleep after that. 

Last night, I did not sleep at all. Hopefully, I can partially straighten this out tonight. 

What I saw of today was a glorious, sunny, hot day. I hate that I did not feel well enough to go out and enjoy some of this June day. My flowers seemed to be happy, too. 

I was not up when Tommy ate dinner. He had a tiny pizza crust with spaghetti sauce, chicken and cheese with a salad of Romaine mix with sweet relish and mayonnaise. I had half a chicken breast that had been frozen previously and over half a can of green beans. Later, I will have strawberries and grapes. 

The cleaner obviously did not plan to come today since she never called or came. I was too sleepy, anyway. She sorted over half of the freezer, so I want the rest done. She sorts items as I want. If it is not working, she changes and sorts it differently. It's okay with me. 

Last time I went to podiatrist, I complained that I can no longer pick up a sock or anything from the floor with my toes. She sort of laughed. Bending over to pick up a washcloth seems like a lot of trouble...lol. My flexible toes were so handy. 

Maybe the people next door took their dogs. They barked all the time. It is quiet and the yard is empty. Wouldn't a dog accustomed to people get lonely when the people only came once a day to feed them, never any interaction from adults or children?

Have you ever dreamed you were deaf or something> 

Can you still pick up things from the floor with your toes? 

 

Wednesday Night Nightmare

Since the wreck, I have had bad dreams about wrecks, dreams I do not want to even think about once awake. Since I still startle at movement of anything on wheels, I try to put the dreams behind me during the day.

Last night must have been a doozy of a wreck, a wreck in my dreams that I cannot remember. I did remember when I awoke, but willed myself to forget.

All the muscles in my body were tensed so and still hurt. It feels like I was running, exercising, and cowering in fear. Well, that is how much my muscles are stiff and achy.  My hands really hurt, just like after the wreck when I was holding the steering wheel tightly and the wreck occurred.

Plus, I am working up to October and being ill. Every day my sinuses are a bit more stuffy. So, I am trying to fight this before it is full-blown illness.

All the other stuff hurts still. Today, I go to have MRIs. Nothing will happen to make it all better, but this is the beginning.

My body feels like it was slammed against a wall.

Have you ever had a wreck and had dreams every night where you have someone slam into your car? Or, maybe it was bad dreams after any trauma?
