Last night I went to bed with a heavy mind. It had been a rough day in many ways, and I also learned there was a troubled teen living in the basement of our neighborhood. I had this young man in class at the beginning of the year and he was something! He refused to even acknowledge that I was speaking to him. This young man has had many run-ins with the authorities at school, and Andrew has said that this young man is most likely not going to successfully complete the school year. Of course as I pointed out, that just means he'll be spending more time in our neighborhood. We suspect he might be involved in the increased problems that are occurring in our common area and as well as some things that are disappearing. There were just a lot of things weighing on my mind and heart last night.
The last dream I had before I woke up reflected my mind-set before I went to bed. I had a dream that I was being attacked by a student. He had already punched another student in the face and some of the larger and older students had created a human wall between us in an effort to protect me. I had called for help, and in the dream I remember desperately hoping that someone got to us before Andrew. I was afraid he would physically retaliate and then lose his job. I woke up literally shaking from the dream. It was a tough way to begin my day. I also was beginning to head into a migraine, but since I'm working again today, I am happy to report that seems to have dissipated.
On the upside from all of this, it is Friday, and we are at another weekend!
