Dream

Sunday. I woke up early because I was having a stressful back-to-school dream. Thax and I were moving in to the dorms and we ran into my SIL skye_ds and her mom, moving skye_ds into the dorms too. Her mom was being just a horrible horrible Karen to everyone-- her daughter, the school staff, the RAs, other students moving in & their parents.  She was just verbally abusive and critical and berating everyone and talking nasty about everything....pouring out a never-ending stream of negative verbal vomit, lashing out in every direction, just taking offense at everything and finding nothing positive to say about anyone or anything and my SIL was quieter and sadder than I've ever seen her in RL, visibly trying hard to please and obey this horrible monster mother of hers. As awful, destructive, and abusive as she has been to sineater & her other men, my family, and myself over the years, I still found myself feeling a lot of empathy and sadness for her and her upbringing in such a nasty horrible family of origin.

Anyway....unpleasant. I'm glad to be awake now. Took the dogs for a walk. It's cloudy, 78 degrees and 87% humidity. yecch. I think I'm going to be indoors for the rest of the day, it's just gross soup out there.
