August 4th & 5th
I have developed reoccurring afternoon headaches and nighttime nightmares. The headaches leave me pretty worthless for several hours every afternoon and the nightmares make it so I don't sleep very well. I'm blaming the move, which is now being personified as a lurching blob monster in my head.
The dreams I remember are usually pretty bizarre anyway, but my stress dreams are violent and upsetting. Last night I woke up screaming and crying, because the nightmare I was having ended with my niblings being killed. Not in an accidental death kind of way, but in a vengeance murder kind of way. The nightmares, aside from being unpleasant, leave me emotionally confused and drained and sleep deprived.
I don't feel terribly stressed during the day, but clearly something's going on. I hope whatever it is it will stop when Dan comes home.
In the world of good news, I know when Dan is supposed to come home. I'm not convinced it won't change though, so I'm keeping it quite. I'll believe it when I see him.
