linoleum nightmare


Last night I had a nightmare. A pretty vivid one...or at least I remember it well because my alarm went off so early, in the middle of my heavy sleep. We finally get our new house keys later this evening so last night I must have been thinking about it. My dream consisted of walking into our new house and then realizing that it didn't look the same as when we bought it. It looked like it would have before the current owners remodeled it. There was cracking linoleum floor in the kitchen, the bathrooms looked like public park restrooms, and the backyard was all weeds. All of this is burned into my memory only because my reaction in the dream was so extreme. I just remember sobbing and having a breakdown...screaming at my realtor that the owners had taken everything with them. I couldn't control myself...After spending so much money I couldn't even begin to hold it together. And my anger and despair was so palpable that I woke up feeling so stressed that my new house was a dump.

Let's hope tonight goes a little bit better than the dream.
