CVS
Two weeks ago today, CVS got robbed. It wasn't bad and nobody was hurt or anything. Bill and I closed up the pharmacy. Then we were all in the back room (minus Anthony who was in charge of the front store) having a meeting and going away party for Robyn. The alarm in the pharmacy went off and we obviously responded immediately. Well, some guy had broken in and got away with some Lortabs. Our manager and another co-worker chased him, but he got into a truck and left.
Then the police came, followed by the news. We all talked to the police, telling the little bits of infomation we each knew. They looked around, and they eventually did fingerprint dusting (which was neat). Once that stuff died down and we could leave, we naturally did. That's when we got bombarded with the news people, who all wanted to have the chance to share the "breaking news" first.
At the time, I was super calm about the whole thing. But then I started thinking about it and how much worse it could have been. We were all pretty lucky. Generally robberies include things like hold-ups and weapons and they aren't as "easy". This one was though, which was good.
However, it's really been affecting my sleep. Because it's all subconscious, I don't even know what I can do to fix it. Basically, I have been having distinct yet interrelated dreams that specifically deal with robbery. They are all so vivid. Out of the last 14 nights, I have had these dreams several times(probably 5 or 6). It's just aggravating because I wake up to find that I've thrown my pillows to the foot of the bed or I've tossed them in the floor. I've twisted and turned my blanket so much it's hard to quickly straighten out or I've pushed it into the floor as well. I wake up sweating or crying or both because these dreams seem so real. This morning I woke up completely sideways in my bed. The nights that I haven't dreamt about being robbed, I've just been extremely restless, waking up at the slightest little sounds and having trouble going back to sleep.
I know it all sounds so dumb, but whatever. I'm sure it'll go away with time, or at least greatly lessen. It's just kind of frustrating, and I wanted to get it all out. I just want to have a normal, happy dream again or one of those mystical ones that doesn't make since once you've awoken. Right now, I keep having those dreams that I'm being robbed different places for different things. The only thing is is that they are completely plausible and realistic, which has really been messing with me. I just want to enjoy a good night of deep sleep and no disturbances again. I guess we'll see...
