Cobwebs

Posted on 16. Apr, 2008 by Deb in Just.....Me

I struggled to wake up this morning a couple of times.  Once when I heard Kid in the shower…and through my foggy dreams…I thought it was the sound of rain outside my windows.  That was about 5:30 or so…..but I couldn’t get up as the bed seemed to be sucking me down into the mattress and the covers were weighing me down.

I drifted right back into the same dream, which wasn’t exactly what I wanted since the dream had me feeling uneasy.  it’s odd, when your dreams are like DVD’s you watch…pausing when you go to the kitchen for a cup of coffee…and almost right back to where you left off.

When the alarm went off at 6:30, I fought against the pull of the mattress and the weight of my covers, but this time I successfully rose.  Of course, the alarm was on the other side of the room.

I was dreaming of a hotel that I haven’t visited in about a year.  It was an unsettling dream….where I was trapped at the hotel.  The shuttle wasn’t running and when I thought to contact a driver I know, I couldn’t find a single number in my cell phone for that city. Part of my traveling strategy is that I have the phone numbers to hotels, restaurants, cab companies and wonderful town-car drivers in my cell phone filed by city.  Then, of course, the alarm went off and I was still standing in the lobby.

I am still cobwebby now.  I’ve had half a cup of coffee and about a cup of oatmeal.

I’m thinking a pot of coffee would be a very good thing this morning.

At least until my cobwebs are gone.
