**Magandang buhay!** A stormy Friday up here, which isn't surprising anymore during these months, but somehow, this kind of weather still makes me down. In fact, it affected me so much that I felt hammered, as if I had gotten drunk or something. I may have been burned out without realizing it, until my body and mind swooshed, and I couldn't function normally.

It's weird too, because even a small movement, and my muscles ache. So, after having a soothing body massage yesterday evening, I went to bed a little earlier than usual and snoozed all through the night. Well, until 4 am when a dream woke me up. It was nighttime in that dream realm, and we were deep in slumber. I was suddenly awakened by someone forcing the door open and coming in, unmindfully dragging a huge crate of wrapped boxes into our bedroom. While he was wearing black overalls and a mask, I recognized him. It was my father-in-law. I couldn't pretend to be asleep and not to know him, so I asked what those boxes were for. "I'm just going to hide them here until the day comes," he said, like it was just normal for him to barge into someone's bedroom in the darkest of the night and in disguise at that! When he realized I recognized him, he disappeared instantly without a word, leaving the boxes behind, lol. I was a little upset in the dream because my sleep was disturbed. When I woke up in real life, I felt tense and couldn't go back to sleep afterwards. Darn that dream for bothering my restful night, lol! Yongi sensed I was up, and he came to bed, squeezing himself into my arms. It wasn't until around 8 am that we drifted back to snoozing, but then we had to eat, so we dragged our butt out of bed to the kitchen, gobbled up some food, and went back under the sheets soon after, lol! I did push myself to write (this) for a little productivity, or I'd be totally doomed by laziness.
