i must not watch fight club when stressed out.....

[2eclipse]

really horrible nightmare last night.
i dreamed that i took a big knife and cut most of the muscle away from my forearms and there was someone encouraging me and egging me on to do it. naturally, i wound up in the hospital...and i was okay - my arms healed pretty quickly, but they were so skinny and weird. my parents were horrified and i kept them inside my black hoodie most of the time.
too weird....
of course, i woke up from the dream finding that i was lying weird on my arms and partially cutting off circulation!
stupid sub-concious!

in other news, i stressed out before class on tuesday and had to GO to class to chill out. met up with ross and the girls at barley john's breifly.
dana was sick yesterday and she and i wound up taking naps in the afternoon. we both felt better (her stomach was settled and i had more energy) and went to kieran's afterward. it was quite pleasant.
i continue to be somewhat exhausted. i wish i had more energy for everyone.

Gruesome dreams!! Frustrating to have stress when your two close friends are there...frustrating also to be low on energy. Is that related to dreams interrupting sleep? If it is chronic, I wonder if it has any relationship to those ticks you encountered this summer.
Mitched cooked something with garlic tonight and our whole house is wonderfully full of the scent of garlic cooked in olive oil. About once a week we have a talk that stimulates and/or informs both of us. He is a good guy... has a sweetness and good will about him that is appealing.
I am very busy...mid term coming up, study group questions due to my group, corinthians lessons to finish and polish (though I did get the outline done)etc. etc.
The deacon retreat was wonderful. When you have time I really want to tell you about it...especially about the worship which was spectacular. One of our speakers, now a deacon, did quite a lot of community service work prior to becoming a deacon. She is not a social worker and when I told her about your search for ways to break into some kind of social justice work with a theology degree and no social work degree, she quite enthusiastically said she would love to talk with you about ways to break into the field when you are not ao social worker and not a deacon...gave me her email and asked me to pass it on to you so that you can exchange phone numbers. She is probably in her mid to late 30s...very sharp...very clear headed about the theology behhind what she is doing. I will send you her email address.
