Friday Dreaming

It's difficult to work very hard on a Friday. Especially now that the sun is coming out. I didn't sleep well last night. I missed the fine line between I'm tired and should go to bed and now I've stayed up too late and am over exhausted and can't fall asleep. Or it might have been the too much Starbucks I had yesterday. I thought about getting up and blogging or reading but I kept thinking maybe there was a chance I would fall asleep. At some point I fell asleep into a bad dream and expended a lot of energy trying to pull myself out of it. I knew if I could just move everything would be alright but I couldn't move, my body was just too heavy. Funny how when you're awake you can move your arm without even thinking about it but try it when you're asleep and the arm just doesn't move. Somehow the thought of moving the arm just can't reach the arm muscle. Which all just makes the dream worse because you can't escape it even though you know it's probably a dream. I did escape from the dream into the waking world last night. Only to face a small furry monster standing in front of my face issuing a pitiful meowing sound. Annoying yes, but vastly preferable to facing the monster under my bed.
