I spent Saturday putting up Christmas lights on my neighbors house and on mine. It was a lot of work and I was exhausted by the end of it.

By then end though, we had lights.

Sunday was a light day in which I didn’t do much. I wanted to get to church, but Helen was out of it and I just felt like playing WoW instead.
Went to sleep Sunday night thinking guy things; power, sex, money, “worldly things”, and I dreamed. I was standing in a shower, shouting my guy things, Yelling them at the World and God. I was naked with the water running and pooling around my feet. I felt the water had reached my ankles and felt a huge crushing pressure, pushing me down. I knew that God had seen my thoughts and my desires. I was being crushed and trying to escape I pushed open the door to my shower. The water spilled out into “my bedroom”. The Hand of God continued to crush me and I tried to escape back into the shower. (I was also afraid of getting the floor any more wet). I was pushed down into the water, I was crying and struggling trying to get up. I had no leverage and had no way to push back and I knew I was defeated. The force holding me down became a pounding, hammering away at me. I woke up panting and out of breath. Shaking Slightly I tried to sit up and the cat who was sitting on me wouldn’t move, but continued to look at me and push up and down with her paws, purring the entire time.

Jennifer and Eve came over and helped me with getting things ready for Christmas. We’ve got the tree up and lights on it. We’ll wait until Maggie gets home to decorate it. I want to make sure she is part of the process.
I am pretty tired now. It’s been a very long week with moving last weekend and taking a day off I’ve had to make it up, so I’ve been working 9+ hr days. It has just killed me for today.
I’m gonna go nap for a little bit (or maybe sip some tea on the porch) then I have a large amount of presents to wrap still.
The gift that Shanks gave us is the first one underneath the tree.

Bringing Down the BanHammer!
Did some early morning maintenance on the dreamlibrary.org site. Various spammers were posting adds for stupid stuff in one of the forums. Even though it was the “OffTopic” forum, they still aren’t allowed. So I’d grab the IP add it to the banned list and then delete the post. It’s comforting to know that at least the spammers know where the site is. I tell myself it’s a sign of getting famous.
I’m about half way done with packing. I finished most of the living room last night. Hopefully I can get the computer room and bedroom done today. I am still trying to keep things somewhat oragnized so that’s helping.
It’s been a stressful week for me and pooks too. She’s having problems and having to move doesn’t make it any easier.
I did get to do some online shopping last night, that was kinda cool. I actually like shopping for Christmas presents. I’m done with Pooks (I think) so i still need something for Maggie & the rest of the family. It’s a little too close to try to mail-order things, so I think I’m stuck with going to the store. Super Target here I come!! (and World Market, walmart, books-a-million, bed bath & beyond infinity (My God, It’s full of Towels!) But I’m saving that fun for next week.
