So today at work was a nightmare for me and I wasn't asleep. I kept thinking I needed to wake from it but then would realize that I wasn't asleep and there was nothing I could do but ride it out.
Then I went home to take my daily walk. Now, I need to be clear here that my daily walk is very rigorous. When you stop laughing I can explain that I don't jog anymore because I have already had one surgery due to running and it was not a pleasant experience so I don't want to repeat it. It had to do with the nurses not being confident the doctor knew which knee to operate on so she wrote "no" on the knee not to operate on. When I read the two letters I couldn't figure out what "on" meant. When the nurse explained it to me I didn't have confidence in anyone in that operating room. I was so gleeful when I woke up and realized they fixed the correct knee I almost didn't need the pain medication. I said almost!
Anyway, I walk very fast, work up quite a sweat and it's great cardio. So, as I was saying, I went on my walk. The last third of my walk is along a canal. This is where my second nightmare began. My walks help me decompress from my day. Today, walking the canal I had that weird thing, like nightmares, of looking to the end of the canal and as I kept walking the end kept getting farther away. Seriously, I'm not kidding. It was crazy! You know the feeling, like the walking sidewalks at the airport only they never end. It was not a good feeling.
I don't know how but I finally got through it and made it home. If any of you have any advice on how to wake up from a nightmare that you are not asleep in let me know! Tomorrow's not looking good either.
