So apparently, I haven't been careful in reading the GoogleSheet with the numbers and items . . . because I drew #38 and it said "Work on your bucket list this week." Um . . . I already did that one. Back on the week of July 2-8, I had #39 and thought that was the bucket list one. Ugh! I'm so confused. Here's what the original sheet says:
38 | Work on your Bucket List this week |
39 | Instigate something fun at your workplace (even if you work at home) |
40 | If you can remember your dreams when you wake write them down this week |
Since I have been off on my numbers, I decided to do the #40 item on dreams. (So I guess I've "caught up" on all of these now! I'll try to be more careful with my reading skills . . . )
Sunday 9/17 and Monday 9/18 - I hadn't yet pulled my slip of paper.
Tuesday 9/19 - "Super tired . . . vaguely recalled one involving a rain storm."
Wednesday 9/20 - "Had a really vivid dream w/LOTS of clear details, but didn't write it down (1 a.m. potty wake - so tired I went back to sleep). I know that I was in Nancy Sauer's classroom. I told her that I'm glad I took this school year off. I told her I
needed this year off. That's all I remember."
Thursday 9/21 - "I woke up to potty lots, so had lots of dreams . . . in one, we were gangsters on a ship and people were trying to break into our room while we held the door closed. In another, there was snow blocking the driveway at my grandma's old house. In another, I was walking by a salon but not going in. Earlier in the night, I was a student at Richfield High School, except it was super huge and parts of it were out of commission. I'd rather get
deep sleep than remember dreams."
Friday 9/22 - "I slept deeply and don't remember any dreams."
Saturday 9/23 - "I had a dream where I was working at a coffee shop / food place. I was making a soft serve cone and going for the perfect twist. Then I dreamed I was at Pioneer Ridge Middle School and greeting people who said they missed me. The last dream I remember (when my puppy came in the room to say good morning) was an alien invasion. The ship looked like an enormous plant spore. I was watching it travel overhead. Then a little girl raced in and we started closing the open windows and latching them. When I went to shut the door, a slender man with a weird grin was coming in. I tried to push him out, but he kept coming in. I was going to yell for the girl to help when my puppy woke me up."
This is the first of the 52 things for Triple F Double E that seems counter-productive. In the past, if I've woken from a particularly vivid dream, I might write it down or talk to my husband about it. But because sleep is so important for good health and I don't get enough of it, trying to remember and think about the dreams leads to more wakefulness. My health goal for 2017 is "Deeper rest and more energy (7+ hours / night with no more than 2 wakings)." That's more important to me than remembering dreams.
On the bright side, I did get rid of one box of papers! However, I brought two more from Louise's house. Louie fixed the shredder that I'd had trouble with, so I hope to move more quickly on remaining papers.
Also, it's not a very good shot, but here's the frame I bought with the wedding photos in it! Booya! Only took me eleven months . . . . (However, I do already have their anniversary gift. I just need to wrap it! No, it's not this picture frame; this is mine!)
