Nightmares

So this morning around 5:30 am Karen calls me and I was way confused because I couldn't figure out why my phone was going off. I finally woke up enough to realize that she was calling I answered my phone to find out that she had had a bad dream. She was scared and alone so she called me. I felt so bad for her because I know that whenever I have a bad dream you just want some human interaction. I tried to help her calm down so that maybe she could go back to sleep. I don't know what her dream had been about but I know that nightmares are awful. I usually don't remember any of my dreams but I have had a few nightmares and they are not pleasant. They usually involve me being alone and raptors chasing me in the dark or atleast my mind tells me that they are raptors I never really what is chasing me but I am getting chased by something and it is always raptors I'm sure of it. I am pretty sure that everyone has had a nightmare or two before and it nothing to be ashamed over because there is nothing we can do when we are sleeping. So what are some of your nightmares?

Work...

So I have started working full time again and it is nice to be earning money again. I was working at Lake Mead and doing draft/design work in the evenings and on the weekends for a couple of weeks. I am working on an irrigation system design for Temple Bar Marina. At Lake Mead I was operating a loader at Callville Bay Marina. We are dredging out some areas around the marina and working on extending the boat ramp. Because it is two hours away we stay down there all week and come home on the weekends and that was pretty tough to be away from Karen all week. We did call and talk to each other every day but it still was really hard. We lucked out and she didn’t have to work at all on a Friday so we planned on hanging out and doing some stuff in St. George that we have needed to get done and then go up to the mountain with some of our friends and stay at the cabin.

Lately I have just been working in Hurricane at the office just doing the drafting. I am basically finished with the Irrigation design. I have been working on it mostly for the last two weeks but I also helped do so take-offs for some bids we had going out. I really enjoy doing the take-offs. They don’t get mundane like the long projects get.

With being in Hurricane it has made it so I get to see Karen more often. I drive up there in the evenings when she isn’t working and spend some time with her. We went to Transformers yesterday and I really enjoyed it but Karen didn’t like it as much. The only thing I really didn’t like was that it seemed to be more focused on the people than the Transformers and I would have liked to see more character development of the transformers and actually get to meet the new Transformers.

It also has been nice to be able to hang out with my friends after work. I played with Brandon, Marie, and Skyler the other day and that was a lot of fun. We stayed out to late since we all had work in the morning. I hadn’t seen Skyler since school got out over a month ago.

I will try to be a better blogger but I make no promises.
