Morning Headache

I woke up disoriented, with a headache. That happens sometimes if I am stressed or having strange dreams. In those cases I tend to clench my jaw and when I wake up my head, neck, and shoulders are very sore.

Last night I dreamed that Marty and I were making all these social arrangements and trying to get plans set up for the weekends to come. He was busy working, so I was having to make a bunch of phone calls to people, some of whom I knew, some of whom I didn't. (I don't like calling strangers on the phone -- that is true in real life -- so I think this is part of the stress.)

But the really stressful part was just before I woke up. Marty wanted me to call up his old friend Kid Rock (!!!) and make sure he was going to be able to come to a party we were having. I said I would do it, knowing that it would be really hard for me to, because I didn't know Kid Rock, and I knew it would be hard enough to get him on the phone even without that. So I kept looking at the MTV news to see where he was, what he was doing, who he was with... trying to figure out just the right time to contact him. But I ended up procrastinating so much that when the party came around, I had never even called Kid Rock, and of course he wasn't there. And Marty was upset. And I woke up stressed.

I know it was only a dream, but I think he should have made his own phone calls.
