Sometimes my favorite weekends are quiet, lazy and restful. This weekend was none of that, but it was still a lot of fun. We did some “kitchen shopping” because we’re in the beginning planning stages of gutting and re-doing our hideously ugly kitchen. Then I scrubbed that ugly kitchen, and the rest of the house, and cooked for a small dinner party we had. There was plenty of food, and there was also a fair amount of alcohol to partake in as well. Toss in a long Father’s Day hike with the in-laws yesterday, and by last night I was beyond tired. No surprise, I was also battling some pretty sticky lows. The alcohol and exercise combo gets me every time. As much as I wanted to just fall into bed early and drift off to sleep, I had to stay up a bit longer to
overtreat that low.
I was in a safe range when I finally went to sleep, but my brain must have had a low-hangover. (What is the fun term for that? Hang-lowver? I always forget . . . . ) The weird dreams I had were the kind that usually happen because of a low. The good thing? The dreams revolved around members of the DOC. The bad thing? I was fighting with almost everyone in my dream.

As the dream started,
Cherise had a new job as a manicurist. (I’m convinced that dream storyline had to do with the pictures of Cherise’s painted OmniPods that I had been admiring on Facebook.)
Stacey had an appointment but very rudely said she was not paying Cherise. I yelled at Stacey, and she yelled back at me. I turned around to see the small rocking chair that I’ve had since I was little (that’s it, and me, on the right).
Sarah came along and stood on it, and it cracked. I told her the chair was not for adults, and she said she didn’t care and sat on it until it broke. As I yelled at her,
Sara came along and told me to stop being so mean. Then she said that when Pete talks he sounds really stupid. (Poor Pete!!)
What the heck is it with low dreams - especially this one that happened when I wasn’t even low anymore? Why did it have me fighting with my friends? I swear, next time I’m low at night I’m skipping the pineapple juice and going for
GlucoLift instead! Maybe I’ll dream that I’m having a lovely vacation on a rocket ship!! Either that or I need to go back to quiet, lazy, restful weekends!
Please tell me this isn’t just me, and that you have some weird low dreams to share too . . . .
