All morning, I've had this uncanny urge to bounce around with a giant plastic (blow-up) mallet and hit everything I run into. My dreams have also been more vivid than usual. A few nights ago, I dreamt that whenever I came across a garrulous person, I would stick duct tape to their mouth. Another night, I dreamt that I was getting extremely impatient with people who kept asking the same questions over & over, and people who ask questions about something that was just discussed a few minutes/seconds ago.
I'm sure that I am stressed right now. I usually can't tell until I get sick or am unable to get restful sleep. I've tried Lavender--shower gels, shampoo, diffusing oil around the house, and even bought a plant and placed it in our bedroom. It's helping a bit. Just a bit.
I know what's stressing me out--and there's quite a long list. I think I'm just getting sick and tired of my current routine. Starting this weekend, I am going to clear-up some things on my list & not even think about them. I am also going to drop all expectations and just relax.
I need a massage. Hmmm... I might just schedule for one.
