No bad dreams.

.

I am a bit surprised.  As with migraines, I often sense the onset of bad dreams.  That sense isn't 100%, so it's all fair.  Though, perhaps, prayer helped.  Of all the things I doubt, the potential in prayer is not one of them.

I did dream.  An argument with what seems to have been my wife.  Not a heated one, just... a settling of some points.  We never did settle.  Lightly intoned quips.  Not a shouting match but undeniably, if overheard, a lack of agreement.  Later, one of the ladies from town, who was visiting for some reason or other while the wife was out... probably waiting for her... had become privy to the debate.  While the wife was gone she decided to banter, in lieu of the wife and on her side.  I would not recant, take it up a notch, or let it go.  Circles.  Such things to not anger me.  I am usually laughing on the inside, and play the discussion to my humor side of things.  It's not really a smirk I wear, just half a grin since most of the laughter is on the inside.  I have heard "Oh, I hate you!" from more dames I knew did not hate me than you can imagine.  I do not recant.  I don't sell, I don't give in, I don't give out, peer pressure means nothing, if I do not believe.  They get over it.  They also learn not to drag things out.  Won't help.  Just gives me something to grin about for days or weeks.  "Oh!  I hate you!"  Yeah, and I love you too, Sweetpea.  *grins*  Those are good dreams.

I called the V.A.  While I was crashing hard, I really didn't want to sleep.  That is as close to fear as I have had in a while.  They don't have permission to use my local doctor as a source for prescriptions.  They, it seems, do have an old prescription they could use for insulin.  I ordered what else they could send.  I got the number, again, for getting my local doctor on the list.  I also called my friend, to see if he wanted to get out tomorrow.  Maybe a bit of shopping, perhaps something to eat, hopefully a short hike out somewhere.  Nothing fancy, just... getting out.  He has as much difficulty as I do.  It is supposed to be 55.  I'll take a jacket and a hat.  Don't plan on a 10 miler or anything.  Though, honestly, anything from a quarter to two mile might not be bad, if possible.  Hmm... I ought to fill canteens, just in case.

I will call the other V.A. number in the morning.  I will also be taking the pants in for return, or exchange really.  I've already filled the tag.  I'll keep that one larger pair, for around the house.  But they just don't work for long hikes or such, or even public appearances.  Comfortable and easy for around the cave, no more.  Well, and if something goes wrong, and I gain a lot through water retention or something, I have them for that as well.

Ugh...  Later.
