Took half of a clonazepam and slept better, even though I had a nightmare. Requested a 30-day refill from Rhonda since it lasts me half a year.

In the nightmare, I was in a crowded room somewhere. Most of the people around me seemed young and like they might have been drinking and doing drugs. It was definitely a sketchy crowd. Distracted by something on my phone, I eventually realized my purse was missing and was horrified because the ultrasound order was in it, not to mention highly sensitive stuff. Then some gross guy with an unkempt beard and mustache promised to return the purse if I would blow him. The dream ended with me trying to decide whether or not to attack him and hope for the best, or give in, even though I knew that still may not bring my purse back. Oh, I would never give in in real life!

I also had a dream I was out in a club somewhere, and this guy in his 20s or 30s was dating this woman, and I knew he was bad news with a record for assault. I taunted him about it and called him out on his shit in front of the woman for her sake.

I wonder if Miss Colleen is aware of the honker’s own arrest. Speaking of him, he got to star in the last dream I remember. I was standing in the kitchen when I heard him fire up the new motorcycle and thought to myself with relief, Oh, that’s nothing. My sleep will be fine. In reality, even quieter Harleys aren’t “nothing,” so we’ll see.

Got my new candles, and while they’re cute to look at with their glitter and crystals And I could smell them unlit. One of them has barely any throw, and the other is unnoticeable. What I can smell has a fresh sugary scent. Not sure if paraffin versus soy affects candle scent, but I have learned more. I walked around to all my good-smelling candles that have a good throw and smelled them unlit. The smell is way stronger than the ones I just got. So they should be very strong, almost overpowering, unlit, but I’m not going to write them off as power outage candles because they’re so pretty. If ever there were girly candles, these are it! They also make good night-lights in the bathroom when I’m up at night. One’s in the bathroom and one’s by the computer by the door.

I definitely have to stick to what I know is good rather than try new brands as a low-income retiree. I have a Mainstays candle coming later with our Walmart order, Winter Woods. I mostly like woody and sweet smells. Fruits and florals are OK too, but I hate citrus. Plus, I have a small two-in-one by Glade on the way from Amazon: Vanilla Passion Fruit and Hawaiian Breeze.

So the trusty brands are Mainstays, Yankee Candle, WoodWick, and possibly Glade, which I’ll find out soon. That’s a big brand name, so I can’t believe they would sell crap you can’t smell.

I am addicted to this arrow escape game I’ve been playing. It works similarly to traffic jam escapes, but the ads aren’t as bad.

Given that the bottle of hair dye is leaking, I gotta start using it up. That’s OK. My hair looks like shit. It needs all the help it can get. I wonder if part of the problem with getting down to my roots is my oily scalp. I’ll really slather the shit out of it next time. If I still have that problem, I might consider clarifying the hell out of my hair first and then dyeing it once it dries.
