This was intended to be a Tuesday Ten, a list of ten items on any topic I choose. But I couldn’t narrow my list to only ten. Seeing as how the alliteration still works, I’m now calling it my Tuesday Twenty. Here are some of the best official offbeat holidays of this month. These areContinue reading “Tuesday Twenty: September’s Best Weird Holidays”

Daydreaming?
I recently got a new Fitbit and have been exploring all the different features. One thing I only just started looking into is its sleep-tracking abilities. Supposedly, if I wear it to bed it can tell when I’m asleep from my heart rate and the lack of steps taken, and can even pinpoint when I’mContinue reading “Daydreaming?”
Dreaming Again
Yesterday I wrote about a dream I had Wednesday night, about living on Guernsey Island and being separated from my son just as the Nazis invaded. I think it was really about my fears for my son during the pandemic, because he was not yet eligible to be vaccinated. The very next day, he learnedContinue reading “Dreaming Again”
Dreaming
I had a couple of odd dreams recently. Wednesday night I dreamed that I was living with my husband and son on Guernsey Island, off the coast of England, during the second world war. I was a midwife and medical assistant, and by this time the only person in my village with any sort ofContinue reading “Dreaming”
Blog Like Crazy: Wrapping Up the Month
The Blog Like Crazy challenge ends tonight. For the month of November, participants vowed to post a blog entry of at least 300 words each day. I did manage to post every day. In fact, most days I posted more than one entry, if you count my writer birthday lists. And many of my entriesContinue reading “Blog Like Crazy: Wrapping Up the Month”
Journaling 2: These Dreams
A couple days ago I pulled out an old journal I kept, back in November and December 1998, and I posted on this blog about the entries I found there. One surprise for me was just how often I recounted my dreams in the journal. I’ve always been someone who has strange and vivid dreams.Continue reading “Journaling 2: These Dreams”
Revisiting an Old Journal, 22 Years Later
I have kept journals for decades. Mostly I write in them, though I also go through periods when I draw as well. Most of my old journals are still in boxes (I moved last year and am still working out where to keep things). But I have a dozen or so of them out andContinue reading “Revisiting an Old Journal, 22 Years Later”
Friday Five: Dreams
Every Friday, a lot of bloggers post answers to five questions on a theme. I don’t usually participate, because I don’t pay enough attention to know what the questions are, but this week’s is interesting. The topic is Dreams. Why do you think we dream? Dreams are hallucinations that occur while we sleep. Our brainsContinue reading “Friday Five: Dreams”
Another Odd Dream
Another odd dream last night, the second memorable one this week, though I woke up before more than a fragment had played out. I was at home, in the kitchen, and could hear my husband and son watching television in the family room. Suddenly, over the sound of the television, I thought I heard aContinue reading “Another Odd Dream”
Perchance To Dream
I had a complicated dream last night. I frequently have intricately detailed ones, and often have even had lucid dreams. But in this one I did not know I was dreaming and was not controlling the plot; I was fully immersed in the action. In this dream, all of the settings are fictional and noneContinue reading “Perchance To Dream”
