Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 74 degrees F and dark here in southern NJ. The high for today is 89.
I had a crazy crazy dream last night and I can't even blame it on medication or chocolate. It was really out there. I woke up from it at 4am and just stayed in bed until 5 when I finally got up. I made the coffee. It isn't as strong as it was yesterday.
It is Saturday but it is another regular day here at the day spa. The only difference is that the 2nd hour in the afternoon is "rec time" which means we have to stay at the main house and figure out how to entertain ourselves. I will just lay in the hammock or maybe out in one of the fields to work on my fading tan. I hate "rec time". If you don't have anything for me to do then let me leave. They don't of course because they want that insurance $$.
The holistic service today is reiki. I honestly don't get it but at least it is an opportunity to lay down and relax in the air conditioning. One girl last week asked the practitioner what her energy felt like. I am curious about what mine is but I don't dare ask her in case she says that I'm full of negative energy.
Tomorrow is a free day so I don't have to worry about being up and functional. I can nap this afternoon if I want. I can go back to bed in the morning if I want. My mother asked if I wanted her to come down but I told her not to bother. I'm still not allowed to leave the campus so there wouldn't be anything for us to do except go for a walk. The almost hour drive each way isn't worth it.
What's everyone else up to today?

Aw, your mom probably wanted to see you. But, like you, I would have told her not to bother with the limited choices. You’re thinking of her convenience.
It will be 103 today. I’m up early due to the facial pain of my tooth being pulled. I’m so tired of this.

@NJChicaa I had some because of my back, but when it was my regular time for a refill Wednesday my pain management doctor changed my appointment to next Wednesday. As I signed a pain contract I can’t get any from any other source. I actually came across a misplaced one yesterday, and for five hours yesterday the pain was barely there. It was a very nice five hours.

Good morning to you.
I'd love a cup of coffee, but have to go and get some bloodwork done, so its mug of water for me until after the blood is drawn.
I had a couple of strange dreams last night too.
Both were 'starring' people who have passed away.
My best friend's Dad was in one and he asked me to buy $200 worth of break away tickets, for his wife.
The other was with my mother-in-law, and she was asking me to go into the convenience store and buy her some lottery tickets.
Spent my time with the gamblers so to speak, really really strange.
Enjoy your flex and quiet time today NJ.
