It is 1:45 a.m and I have just woken up from a nightmare. To silly to write down but definitely full of scary things that had me covered in sweat. Trying to come to wakefulness as one comes to the surface of water, a large gasp when you make it. Actually, it is not silly that dream. It is just too upsetting to write about and think about again. It makes me too vulnerable. I don't like vulnerable. My whole life I have been told that I am too sensitive so sharing a nightmare makes me vulnerable. Instead I have soothed my self with food. Ramen noodles and a cup of hot chocolate. Ramen noodles have to be the unhealthiest food on the planet but my grandma used to make them for me when I was little. It is funny because my cousin Derek still eats them in private. Grandparents have all sorts of ways of keeping up close after they leave this planet. 

I forgot to mention that I finally put up my cuckoo clock and she is working fine. I lock her in at night and let her out again in the morning. She prefers this so she can get a good night sleep instead of having to get up every 1/2 hour. 

Well, that is it. I am going to have my Ramen noodles and hot chocolate then have a hot bath. I will then attempt to sleep. 

Stay tuned later today for a post on Norbert's birthday party!
