Fall 2015 December 18 Friday

25 degrees this morning (18 Degrees WC).  

Didn’t walk this morning, not because of the cold but because i seem to be developing a head cold and I want to take all alternatives to preventing it.

I hate getting a cold and knowing I am going to have to deal with it for 7 to 10 days!  (Especially around Christmas!).  If it is one, hopefully it will be a light one or short one. 

I am at that phase where sometimes they just seem to go away if I am careful.  Probably will get some Gatorade, which for some reason seems to help.  I had thought Gatorade had helped for years, but I thought it was just me, and then one time a Nurse told Aline to drink Gatorade for her cold and I realized my gut instinct had been right for years!

That and Sudafed, which seems to work best for a cold.  The only problem with Sedated is you feel like a criminal trying to buy it!  i can understand the reason for the controls, but I still don’t like to buy it.

A very light snow yesterday, really just some flakes that didn’t stick to the ground even. 

Friday.  For some reason this has seemed to be a long week.  Maybe anticipation for the holidays,maybe other factors. I was thinking (psychologically) that it was Friday on Tuesday.  

The fact that it is only a week before Christmas means time does go fast!

Took a longer nap than usual today to help get ride of at the (possible) head cold and noted the following dream, which had a really strong impression on me.

12-18-15

Aliene and I were going someplace, I believe to a meeting.

We were stopped by a Police Officer (we were never old why) and taken to a an office or a house for a meal.  Other people were also there, all apparently stopped in the same way.  

It was a large convoluted  house and at one point I recognized that part of the building was my old office at City Hall.  The building was very large and obviously had been cobbled together.  It had a lot of vacant rooms.

There was a meal with seemed  to take forever to make.  It ended up only being a small meal for some reason, although there was a large grill.

For some reason, I took one item, and there was a lot of shrimp which I can’t eat.  I picked up a tube of something that was like the aftershave i use.

At one point, I walked outside thinking I could take pictures I could show to someone so i could point out where we had been detained.  However, it suddenly turned dark and I had a hard time taking pictures.

There appeared o be high mountains, and pictures I took were extremely weird, due to the movement of the camera.  

For some reasons I thought we were near Knoxville, Tennessee.

The wife of the Police Officer was also there, and I think there were also children.  

At one point in the dream I saw Mark Hartz (a Commissioner from Lakeland) and I asked him if he had gotten stopped also.  He said, no, he saw what was happening and he decided to follow me to see what happened. I mentioned “you are always here when something happens to me” and he just grinned that smile of his.

Can’t remember a lot else right now, it was just a really strong dream.  

I did keep mentioning to Aliene that even though no one had said anything we were unlawfully detained  I mentioned the next time I got stopped, I would ask to call my attorney right at the very first. 

I can’t remember where Aliene and I were going but we weren’t worried about being late.

Woke up feeling very disturbed by the dream.

That’s it for now, Friday, December 18, 2015
