I got up shortly after 4 this morning. I had strange dreams overnight.
So far I have had some breakfast and gotten things together to make a casserole for tonight. Oh, I have also showered and dressed for work.
I may sit quietly in the dark for a while, or I may get up and move furniture. You just never can tell with me.
Have a great Monday!

I did not eat anything strange last night, I wondered about that. Other than a fresh peach someone had given my sister. It was absolutely the best tasting peach I have had in years.

@LadyDuck I think sometimes I wake up early because I am hungry.

@GardenGerty I am not hungry, I usually wake up early because of weird dreams or nightmares.

I dreamt that someone had stolen my bank cards from my wallet - but they had managed to put the wallet back in my bag so I didn't notice anything until I tried to pay for shopping at a supermarket.
I did check when I woke up - luckily it wasn't true.

Oh, yeah, breakfast. I suppose I should have some, too.

@GardenGerty yes, I was able to sleep but woke up a bit late than my usual which makes me panic

The pandemic has changed many people's dreams-- giving them "odd" ones. There is even a book about the phenomenon titled "Pandemic Dreams" by psychologist Deirdre Barrett. I haven't yet read it, but it sounds like it might be worth a look.
Personally, I've had some rather odd dreams during the past few months. Given the nature of some of them, I would say that the pandemic has certainly worked its way into my sleeping hours.

The dream was not pandemic related that I can tell. It was suitable to be a horror story or movie, and I never read those types of books or watch those movies. I do not doubt, however that people are having pandemic dreams.

@wilsongoddard I am a big proponent of the idea that whatever I put into my brain is liable to seep out in my sleep.

@GardenGerty The sci fi movie "Oxygen" was one that gave me nightmares a couple weeks ago. Horror movies, on the other hand, generally don't affect my sleep.

Who gets up at 5 AM? Oh, you do. 
I got up at 9:30 to go to my physical therapy appointment. It lasted ten minutes (took longer to get in the hospital with the covid protocols than that! ), got released from physical therapy, and I’m having lunch. I’ll take a walk and enjoy the day….or go home and take a nap. You never know with me, either.

I had one that was scary that I would love to forget. I also had another one, probably work related, that I cannot remember now.

There is dream interpretation online. I was missing my Mom a few days ago. I dreamt of us being together. Nice.
