5:57am. Can't sleep. My head is filled with images of tsunami's and dictators, giant earthquakes and radioactive fallout. Anxieties, calamities, disasters. How does anyone sleep these days...
The streets outside are empty. It looks cold. Very cold. But I'm not exactly sure what I'm basing that on.
Mylo slept until 4:30am this morning. And, for the record, that is progress. He stood up in his crib (for the first time-- gasp), let out a few grunts and groans to let us know he was awake, and so the morning began. I brought Mylo into the living room and walked around with him until he dozed off. If I can get Mylo to sleep one or two more hours a night, I would consider that a huge step towards normalcy. Ah yes, normalcy...
6:23am. Reedu just came out of the bedroom and told me that I gave her my tsunami dream. She was upset. I gave her a hug, told her it was just a dream. She went back to sleep. I feel bad. But, truth be told, I'm so grateful that I have her to share my tsunami dreams with.
The sky is turning a lighter shade of blue. I see people on the sidewalk, hustling off to work. I'm going back to bed.
You certainly did give me your tsunami dream. I have been wanting to write my own tsunami post for a while now but have been avoiding it, putting off having to recall that awful nightmare I had... thanks in large part to YOU, my love :)
ReplyDeleteSorry. For what it's worth, I really am glad I have you to share my anxiety dreams with... and of course the good ones too.
