One would think that you wouldn't want to insult or offend your date, especially if it is your first date.

He was telling me about his 1972 Mustang that he is rebuilding. I told him that I was more of a Camaro girl personally but Mustangs were a good car and I am a fan of the Mach 1. I also mentioned how I was eventually looking to get an older Camaro and hopefully work on rebuilding it.

He looked really amused and chuckled a little bit. He said that he could rebuild it for me and I said that I'd like to do the work. Then he asked, if I even knew anything about cars. I proceeded to give him the specs of the camaro I eventually wanted, finished my drink and left.

I really love when people underestimate my knowledge of cars and engines simply because I am a woman. It really is quite frustrating when people talk down to you. However, on the flip side, it is quite amusing when I turn around and tell them what all the specs of a car are. All of a sudden there is silence and a rather confused look on their face.

So the last few days I've actually been able to sleep. Maybe the yoga is actually working...and the lavender...and the chamomile tea...and everything else we've been trying. I hadn't had any dreams or nightmares, at least that I remembered. Until tonight, well last night.

These stupid dreams. No, these nightmares are stupid, horrible. I hate them. I feel everything. It's so intense. It's so...close to my past. Except that it isn't my room. I don't recognize it at all. The medicine bottle had the name Esther on it. Swallowing the pills...

It was all so disturbing.

It is almost 4:30 in the morning and I still cannot sleep. Lately I have been flipping back and forth through bouts of insomnia and nightmares. It seems that I cannot catch a break, even during the holidays. Thom, if I'm a ZOMBIE at work tomorrow, now you know why. I want to go for a walk right now but...I might get myself into trouble.. If anyone has any remedies for insomnia pass them my way. I have tried a lot but maybe there's something I haven't tried. So far nothing has worked.

My new years resolution: to get a good nights sleep.

The nightmares have started again. I am almost wishing for insomnia again. That kind of sounds really bad doesn't it? I think it does. It makes me sound...abnormal...crazy even. I wish I knew what would make these nightmares stop. I know it's not me...it's not when I....but it brings that time back. All those memories...and the...the only way...it would be easy to get rid of those nightmares but I shouldn't...I can't go back to doing that.

Maybe I should go for a walk. Cause I can't sit here any longer and I'm afraid to go back to sleep.
