black snake

last night i had the strangest dream
that me and 3 friends were at a party
where everyone freaked out cause there
was a black snake loose in the house.

everyone ran in different directions to
get away from the scary little thing.
unfortunately, it had caught up with one of my
friends in the dream.
It slid up the back of her shirt.
And surprisingly, I yanked it out.
It then planted its nasty fangs in my fingers
whereby I had to rip it out (along with the
skin on my fingers). It was so odd!!

afterwards, I woke up. It was 5am.
I NEVER get up at that hour - not even when I want to.
In any case, I couldn't sleep so i stayed up reading
the Oprah Magazine on my nightstand.

Damn, I must be under some serious stress
cause I remembered dreaming about some other
super random stuff. I suppose my mind
was just unloading, releasing all that stress
from the week. Thank goodness for that cause
I plan on enjoying this lovely 3-day weekend. :)


me and shar's aa meeting - or something like that

perhaps my long chat session with Shar prompted my crazy dream.
she and i talked for 3 hours about one of
the things we have in common.
Poor woman, since she's all the way in the east coast, that meant
that she didn't get off the phone until midnight!

our conversation was like a nice big therapy session -
something I've been needing for a while now.
I suppose that is why i have been feeling like there's
been this funky cloud hanging over my head - I just
haven't been able to process this crazy thing that
I've been going through.

unfortunately, shar has been experiencing the same madness.
but fortunately for me, she can understand.
thanks to her, I was able to get that "stuff" out of my head
and hand it over to the universe.
I hope she felt a little of the same.

As much as I try to not let it affect me, it does.
It has been affecting me for years.
It's just good to be able to let it go completely -
even for just a moment - to someone else who can understand.

Thanks, girlfriend!!!
