weeds

[alonewiththemoon]

For a few weeks, a vine has been growing around the corner of the front yard, up the side of the house and around the corner to the electric meters.  Ordinarily I rip anything that I didn't plant out of the garden, but this wasn't in the way of anything else, and the greenery looked nice against the house walls.

Then this morning--big blue morning glories everywhere!  I exclaimed out loud when I saw them.  I'm very glad I left the plant well enough alone.  Lesson reinforced:  give the unknown the benefit of the doubt.

Crabgrass, on the other hand, is a known element, and must be ripped out one of these days when I have some extra time.  I meant to do some weeding yesterday, but dance practice plus a trip to Trader Joe's plus being just a teensy bit hungover resulted in very low energy levels.  No weeding will happen tonight, either, as I must practice more and I am already very tired, having slept wretchedly and dreamed about having to move, sad rabbits, being a fugitive, and other traumatic and threatening things.  I successfully managed to not remember during the day itself that yesterday was the date of my first wedding, but I guess some part of my brain was aware of it and wanted my consciousness to share the angst.  Grrr.  My first wedding was stupid; my second wedding was wonderful.   I'd like to pretend that the first one never happened, but I suppose that's the thing about the past, you can't really rewrite it, not if you're honest with yourself.

From weeding to wedding.  Funny how the mind works.

Seems to have been a bad night for dreams....

I concur. Mine were very anxious and stressful, and I had one of those waking dreams half an hour after I went to sleep. You know, the ones were you think you see something behind you, and you try to roll over or get up, and your body just won't move, and you try and try and try and finally wake up.

And that was just the first half hour of the night!

I had bad dreams last night (and the night before), too. wtf?

ditto. or couldn't sleep. Maybe it's the rapid weather change, subtly unsettling our bodies and unconscious minds.
