Well, today I must be short...but I hope friendly! Last night, while sleeping, I had sort of a nightmare, in which I battled something or someone, (I have no recollection of what or who) and in the process of the battle I threw myself out of bed hitting the corner of a chest that I usually have covered up with the day-pillows that decorate the head of my bed. Just that evening, before I retired, I deliberately stuck the pillows on the side of the chest and the floor, not for any particular reason.
I was dreaming that I was fighting for my life, as I said, and hit the chest with my head, hitting the side of my nose and almost into my eye. Of course, I woke up immediately only to discover there was blood covering the hand I had raised to my eye. Fearing I had lost my eye, as there was a lot of blood, I wakened Jerry, my husband, and asked if my eye was gone. He couldn't understand me as he was just awakening. I ran to the bathroom mirror to see for myself and saw I was a mess, but my eye was still where it belonged except it was turning black as I watched, and somewhat bloody, but it was there.
I'm taking it easy today with a lousy headache and hoping to feel OK enough to gather together an assortment of fruit to take to my son's tonight for pizza ....and fruit!
I am fine, but our daughter, the nurse, is going to arrange for me to have a side bar added to my bed.
So, being the crazy dreamer that I seem to be, and a grateful and obedient daughter that I want to be, I will do anything to keep from going through this kind of "nightmare" again. (Nightmare in more ways than the originally meaning of nightmare.)
So, let's catch up again tomorrow with more of David, Saul, Jonathan and the Lord. Until then,
Jo INMN
