Living Alone

Sometimes it really sucks.
Last night I had an amazingly horrible dream. I dreamt I was inside my house and I could see a shadow of a person through my curtains, trying to look inside my window. He tried my door several times and then busted out a pick, to try and pick my lock. That is when I had had enough. I opened my door and asked him what the h-e-double hockey sticks he was doing. He said that my managers had sent him down to fix blah, blah, blah thing and then put his hand on top of the door and tried to push it in. Good thing I had positioned my foot and half my body behind it, so he couldn't push it in more. I told him I would have to call my managers about that. Just then my neighbor came around and started talking to him and was holding the cord to my mini-blinds, like she was going to try and wrap him up in it. I was holding the door with one hand and trying to call 911 with my phone. 911 was busy, so I called my managers. We both kept talking to him, so he wouldn't leave and we could send him to jail.
Another neighbor then walked by, but he didn't stop, he just kept walking. Finally my manager, the man, came down, but then I woke up.
I was scared. I didn't want to move. I started to hear things in my apartment. I needed to go to the bathroom, but didn't know what impending doom might happen to me if I went. I laid there for a long time and then decided I just had to go. I got up ran to the bathroom and ran back to my bed. I looked at the clock to see if it was anywhere close to being time to go to the gym. It was only 3:45. The gym doesn't open till 5am. I laid in bed and heard some more noises, then I realized they were just my stomach. I couldn't take it anymore. My thoughts were killing me. I was still thinking about my dream and freaking myself out even more. I had to get up.
So here I am sitting on the computer patiently waiting for it to be time to go to the gym, although now I've had a half-hour less sleep and I have school, a meeting from 4:30-6:30 and then hula. I might just stay and see if I can go back to sleep. I need to make sure I get enough rest for my kids sake, for my sake, and for hula camp's sake this weekend.
