Have been having trouble sleeping lately and have been having strange dreams as well. So I've been in a fog much of the week so far. Hopefully things will change soon.

The weather has been nice lately. We have had chances for rain all week so far but haven't received anything more than a trace amount.

Got an inch of rain in the burst of rain last week.

The electrician came out and twenty minutes later the receptacle/outlet was fixed. Told me that the problem was the space heater. Even though it wasn't in use, it was a problem. Its something the makers of such things don't want people to know. Said the best thing to do would be to switch the outlet it was plugged into from time to time. Well I am not sure I want to use one of the bloody things again. Although we did a lot of unnecessary cleaning over the weekend, some of it still needed to be done.

Will have to call an electrician out in the next few days. Was taking a nap in my bedroom when I heard a popping noise. It was coming from an outlet with two things, which weren't in use at the time. There was a bit of smoke and sparks. Managed to get both things unplugged and then the fireworks stopped, but not before rendering all three outlets in my room, the overhead light in the hallway, as well as the outlets and overhead light in the spare bedroom (which we use as a storage room since the basement isn't a good place to store much) dead. Hopefully it will be something that can be fixed without costing a fortune. Its a good thing I didn't do what I was going to do and listen to my Walkman, I wouldn't have heard it. Something similar happened in Moms room a couple years ago, but nothing but that one outlet was damaged.

Have been dreaming of some odd stuff lately. Tend to forget most of it by the time I walk up. I do remember having dreams last week that involved a monkey, being a passenger in a car going over a bridge and having a bad reaction about doing so and one involving me and others trying to escape some sort of Holocaust with zombies who would eat you if you didn't watch out.

Got a little bit of rain yesterday. There is more rain in the forecast for the next couple of days. We sure could use the moisture, have been so dry lately. But it doesn't compare to parts of the south that have been dry for a long time. I noticed parts of Texas looked dry when we flying over it in December when we were coming back from Paris.

Mom came home early on Monday with a nasty migraine. She was pretty much out of it the rest of the day. I figure, and she agrees, that it had to be a weather related migraine. Which begs the question as to why I have not had one. Not that I want tone mind you, I mean I did have the three headaches last week and all but none of them were horrible. Maybe I should count my lucky stars.

Have a had a headache every day for the past three days. I am wondering if something is coming in weather wise. Regardless, if has been a long time since I have a headache every day for a number of days.

We went to Topeka yesterday to do some research the Kansas State Research library. Spent a good chunk of the day there and then headed home. Before we got home, we grabbed some dinner at a wonderful Mexican restaurant in our area and then I did some shopping at Borders bookstore. I bought "Zodiac" and "In Cold Blood". Had both books at one time or another, but had gotten rid of them.

Saw the first movie of the year Tuesday evening. We saw "Zodiac" and it was pretty darn good. I had read the book some years ago, never thought it would be turned into a movie. Might get the book again.

Had a headache yesterday and it took hours to get rid of it. Also had a headache this morning, but it didn't last as long as the one yesterday.

Its going to be warmer then it usually is for this time of year for the next few days. Would like it to be more normal, but Mother Nature doesn't listen to me.

Mom has Friday off, so I will need to get a few things done before the weekend because we have things to take care of over this weekend.

Tomorrow night we might be seeing a movie. It will be the first movie we have seen since Thanksgiving of last year. So far there has been little at the box office that has interested either of us. I have a feeling we are going to be seeing fewer and fewer movies in the theater. That's not to say we will never see a movie in the theater again, but with the commercials and lousy music that's forced upon us I think the urge to see a movie in the theater will have to be pretty strong for us to go. Plus there is the expense, the idiots who come late, the idiots who talk or laugh loud, kids, the over priced concessions, kids, odd movie times, babies and then the movies tend to be crap.

Had a couple dreams last night, one of which I remember. I was traveling by myself in Florida. Came out of a hotel with a digital camera in my hand and thought about how wonderful it was to be in Miami. As I was walking along the side walk, I stopped to take a picture of a beautiful scene and then proceeded to walk again. People didn't seem to notice me, though I wasn't doing anything strange enough to give them reason enough to look in my direction. At some point in my walk it started to rain. I put the digital camera in my purse and walked over to a bench and sat down. I paid no attention to the shoe that was on the bench, I instead focus on a street group that was performing. After a few minutes, I got up and continued walking. The weather was nice, the sun was shining and there were no clouds. It appeared to be maybe mid-afternoon in my dream. That's pretty much all I remember of it. Although I have never been to Miami, let alone Florida, I am not sure what I saw in my dream was really anything I would see in Miami. But if I ever get to Miami I will find out.

Rain today and then a chance for Sunday.

Have a chore or two to take of today and then I will watch a movie.

Last week at some point we had rain, yes rain complete with thunder and lighting. Ended up getting a inch of much needed rain. The storm did spawn tornadoes as it moved on.

Finished reading Flowers For Algernon yesterday. Good book, had read it in school at some point and bought at Borders where it ended up being free due to a special buy 2 books get one free sale they were having. Read Salem's Lot before that. Speed read through a couple other books that were very light fluff and awful. Will be starting a book on the Phoenix lights today. Haven't read a book about UFOs in a while. Have a few other UFO books waiting to be read, as well as one on Sasquatch and one general paranormal book. Have stayed away from the paranormal vein for sometime, primarily because to me most of the books or tales just suck. But that's me, anyway I figure even if I don't like the book I will keep it for reference.

Did some laundry this morning. I know we already did some Monday, but Mom wanted to switch things around a bit so we weren't doing laundry the same weekend we were shopping for supplies and what not at Kmart. After we were done, we went to the post office, gas station, Blockbuster, the grocery store and finally home. At one thirty we left the house again and headed for the dentists office. Mom had another appointment, she needed some intense cleaning done on here teeth. Her next appointment is in three weeks to take care of a cavity and then three weeks after that for a check up on the teeth and gum cleaning. My next dentist appointment is in July.

Was cold today and it even snowed a bit this morning, it didn't last long on the ground once the sun came out. Looks like it is going to be getting a bit warmer in the coming days.
