An April Afternoon




Upstate New York, Lake Champlain
at Fort Saint Frederic
16  April 2024

It was a beautiful Spring day.

And here at 1 AM in the morning, my
throat is sore from a screaming nightmare
that woke me up. 
Vivid person appears intent on
harming me in the dream. Out of nowhere, 
at a place I don't know, fearing being there,
hearing somebody following me.
Not a good thing for that person
Anger is powerful, my anger.
The scream is louder than usual 
because I am certain there is
not going to be  good outcome.
Ergo, I awake. 
Cough drops at the ready.


Later that morning... 
I fell back asleep. Around 4 AM , I woke to a louder scream, different person, same danger though. My throat is slightly scratchy. Beautiful sunny day, I went out and had a relaxing time, bought and planted violas, lunch at McD, and a thrift store stop. I picked up a few lovely small containers for my picnic basket. 
There's a gorgeous ecru leather sofa there that I would buy in a heartbeat if I had the room. I also bought a small postal scale for letters from April 1988...1st class...$0.25 cents!
Anyway, I believe the nightmares are due to a heavy (for me) stress event this week that I volunteered for. As it is, I think it is best to let that go; and try a less stressful event.
