47. This was what was driving me crazy during the winter break.....

Feb 2012

back in December. I ran myself ragged but I couldn't stop preparing because of the sense of urgency. No it was not the Mayan thing, but there is some wickedly bad juju out there. Finally got the money this week from my 403B and am putting it where it will be as safe as I can make it and that has gone a long way to easing some anxiety.

I wake up between 1-2 in the morning and am up an hour or two before I can go back to sleep. There is no noise but something keeps waking me with a start. In December-it was family and people that have been long dead that I would see in my minds eye when I woke up. Then I revisited places I had been. Several nights ago, I dreamed I was back in Cloudcroft NM (one of my fav spots on this planet). Laterly I have no dreams, I just wake up with a feeling. It is the same feeling I get when a hurricane is in the gulf-that same stillness before all hell breaks loose and the Kracken is released.

Maybe it is the Greek thing-it has been on my mind a lot lately. I have been reading blogs about first hand accounts there. It is horrendous. I think Greece is collapsing into war and chaos. The people are being scape goated and the rest of the world is buying into it. I have also been hearing about Homs Syria. All tragedy and no comedy. Yep, things are popping all over.
