08-15-2025 — Dream a little nightmare for me.

Howdy all. Still no more rain other than that 1/2 inch a few days ago. But lots of bad air quality, and today brought on the heat again. High near 90.

I went out early this morning and did a quick tomato harvest.

I saw the one little melon was still alive. And the vines growing fine. I placed a yellow tomato in front to help with scale. Don’t have any bananas right now.

There was about a gallon of tomatoes today, after cleaning. I sent about a pint down the disposal because they were split, or just plain green.

That is a snippet from the security camera in the living room from 2:44 this morning. Notice Kitty is headed to the staircase, but something surprises her for a moment.

She heard me talking in my sort of sleep and was headed upstairs to visit.  Around 2:40 this morning I was falling asleep in real life.     But I was having a dream.  Without getting into tons of details about it, I was in an amusement park conference hall in the middle of the night.   We were working hard to get it back to profitability.  So we all had rooms and beds of our own.  

I was exhausted.  So for the meeting I grabbed a gurney and was laying on it.  Where did it come from? Hey, it was a dream. 

And I was laying on it belly down for some odd reason.  

Anyway, a small group of the meeting wanted a side chat out of the room before we decided on how we would vote.  

No idea on what.  

But while they were out, I kept getting close to falling asleep.  

So I decided to roll off the gurney, which was real high (maybe 5 foot?), and stand up to stay awake.  

I rolled my left leg off the gurney, trying to find the floor, and kaboom. In Real Life, I hit my head on the bedside table as I fell to the floor with my feet tangled in my bed sheet and comforter. Definitely landed on my bad right shoulder and with hips turned sideways.  

I ended up sprawled out on my back for awhile, trying to figure out what the heck just happened.  Then Kitty came into the room whining and kept hovering around my head as I groaned and swore a bunch.  She was concerned her meal provider wasn’t going to get up.

Of course getting up off the floor was not fun either.  My knees still hurt like heck for them just being on the floor for a couple moments as I rolled over onto them.  

I tried to use the comforter and sheet in a pile to soften the ground. Did not help.

But I did get to my feet and got it together, sort of.  

Had to redo making the bed and then needed a few minutes with my head in the sink with cold water splashing about.  

This morning my knees ached.  My shoulder still aches.  My right hip hurts. And the spot on the front right side top of my head, straight above the right eye, is sore to the touch.  But no breaks or blood anywhere.  

Good thing the bed is only 30 inches high.   

I think I may need to buy a crib with side rails for myself.   !!!  

So, I did a little less today than I hoped.   I took a couple Dual Action Advil to start the day, and one for tonight.  I’m hoping that will help.   

The good news is my pinky is healed enough to not have a bandage.  🩹. Is this how I am to Enjoy Life?
