I'm going to leave for vacation to Orlando, Florida for a week! Whoohoo!!! Much needed vacation. Have a good week everyone! I'll catch up when I get back.

I don't dream quite often, but when I do, it seems pretty extreme. I saw blood everywhere I went last night. Even the red fluid was draining out of me. Horrific, yet I couldn't seem to wake myself up from it. It didn't seem important to...

I was myself in my dream. There are times when one could be dreaming as looking at themselves in their dreams...but I was the first person. The dream began clearly set in a meeting room at work. I had on my spring suit. White pants, aqua cami and a cute blazer over it - my heels of course. A coworker and I took a bathroom break and approached the open stalls. She found a clean one and went to do her business. I, on the otherhand pushed the doors wide and saw blood was splattered all over the toilet and paper in the stall. I couldn't make sense of it all. The next stall was the same - as in the rest of them. I chose the cleanest...though I'm sure still not sanitary. My body released blood - it wouldn't stop. I was horrified, yet still calm. I didn't cry for help. I'm not sure what happened to the coworker but for some reason, I didn't reach out to her, and she didn't bother to check where I was. At this moment, I awoke. Not quite sure what this means...or if there's a meaning.

I just checked dream dictionaries online:

Despite it being Monday and the challenge of going to work knowing there would be lots of talk about the death of someone most of us knows, I survived. I know Julie would never want anyone to mourn...she's too full of life - a huge heart; very thoughtful and caring. I love her free-spirit attitude. We definitely clicked the first conversation we had. Shopping, parties, travel, just plain having fun...we always had a good conversation. I enjoy hearing about her adventurous journeys around the world. I'd definitely admired her. Her service is tomorrow. I'm sad I won't be able to go say good bye. I know she'll understand. She would never put anyone in a guilty position. *sigh* I won't bother listing my "I should have..." It doesn't do any good. Time will heal everyone...I'm sure she's looking over all of us.

alive, full of life

unfortunate accident

sorrow, loss, empty

a life taken, but not forgotten:

you will always be with us Julie Casey - we all miss you
