tuesday
Woke up with a cluster headache at 5:30. I was having a dream about working at Polk and I had to clean up some poop and I got it on the front of my long apron. I was new to working in this particular cottage and didn't know where anything was. Didn't know where the laundry room was. Finally got there with my mess and was going to throw it all in a bin but first a young black woman worker wanted me to help them. They accidently got their hand into my poopy mess and then I had to clean them up first. She was angry and blaming me though I knew it wasn't my fault. I stayed calm and was soothing. Got her cleaned up and she was complimenting me on how I don't get angry. After she left I was still having to deal with the mess on myself and needing to get cleaned up. It ended up on my bare foot too and I was dipping that in a puddle of water under a sink trying to get some of the poop off. That was when I woke up with the cluster headache. Blaa. Though it's not as bad as it was when I first woke up. Still there.
I think the dream is telling me that I'm taking some shit that I don't deserve. But I also need to stay calm about it.

Yesterday Candy and I changed our minds about where we wanted to bike. The weather report said that rain was supposed to start at 1 pm so going clear to Shippenville didn't sound like a good idea anymore. We biked close by on the Franklin to Oil City trail instead. We got to the Oil City campus and were sitting on a bench looking at the pond and noticed a big dark cloud. We both remarked that maybe we should head back even though it was only about 10:30. As soon as we got on our bikes it started to rain. Pouring rain all the way back. We were totally soaked. Though it wasn't cold so that was good. But I was still chilled with the wet clothes and it felt good to get home and get them off. I put on fresh clothes and a sweater and went to bed. Kind of amazed me that I slept till 4 pm. I could have slept even longer but felt I should get up and get something done. Make dinner at least.
After dinner Dave and I went to Rural King to get a better live trap for the ground hog. All Dave's work burying fencing under the shed's edge didn't help. While we were gone away to the wedding over the weekend the ground hog tried to dig under the shed all the way around and couldn't do it, but when he got to the end of the shed where the fencing wasn't buried anymore he could dig under and did. He got all Dave's green beans, all the beets and all the broccoli and Brussel sprouts. Very frustrating. Dave will need to replant all those things. Hopefully it's not too late.
Today Jan, Berdella and I are hiking. The weather has cooled off and it's perfect hiking weather now. Cool in the morning and dry.
