And, the crazy dreams are back. I think I have unresolved feelings (um, yeah, I drank myself through them) from when my husband left me in 2011. Not sure what to do about that, but the dreams are not pleasant. Horrible night last night :-(
Bad dreams plus I've got a pretty bad cold. So many people sick at work, it was inevitable.
But, I'm sober!!!!

Glad that you made it through the grocery shopping, Optimist.
Nightmares can be so unnerving and unsettling. Maybe some relaxation techniques at bedtime could help - hot bath, deep breathing, meditation????
I am sorry that you are having a hard time, Optimist.
Hope that you sleep well tonight and that your dreams are peaceful.
Hugs, dear one.
