To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

After not dreaming at all during the first couple of months of sleep deprivation, now that I can actually snooze a few hours at a time, I have started to have the strangest dreams. They are all somewhat anxiety-ridden, probably because in the back of my head, I'm listening for the cry that will wake me up and knowing my comfort will be short-lived. These dreams have all the typical anxiety components - I'm late for something, someone needs rescuing, something is trying to hurt me, etc. The odd part is the cast of characters I've brought into the dreams... everyone from early childhood friends to graduate school acquaintances to my chiropractor... in the last example, instead of being there to crunch my back, he was at the airport helping me get to the plane that was about to leave without me. Sleep has become like being a guest on This is Your Life, except everyone has switched roles. I can't wait to see what tonight's episode brings!

Miscellaneous

Sorry for the lag in posts... finding non-baby topics these days has been difficult!

For those wondering about the removal of the last post about CNK, I took it off after receiving emails from people I don't know explaining the CNK mindset. It never occurred to me that anyone but my friends were reading the blog, and I really have no desire to turn up on Google searches about CNK. So, there you have it.

In other news, I'm back to work and the gym, so undoubtedly something interesting will happen at one of those locations at some point. So far, the most exciting thing has been that I tried a Clif Mojo Dipped Peanut Butter & Jelly bar at the gym today and I may become addicted to them. My workout buddy was somewhat grossed out by the concept, but I happily snarfed it down!
