Yesterday ben took me clothes shopping. I was having button issues with a few of my work shirts. I tried on at least 20 different shirts, but only ended up buying 3. And I got a new pair of pants and a new skirt.

When we got home, we napped until ben had to go in for his monthly midnight shift. I did some knitting and laundry until I was tired again. Then I had trouble falling asleep. I hate being alone at night because I jump at every sound. I tried to block out the scary noises by listening to music.

I woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. I dreamed someone was attacking me and had a gun. I had trouble dialing 911 because the phone I had was touch pad only and I was panicking.

Ben came home a couple minutes after I woke up so I felt a little safer. I slept much better once he came to bed.

Today ben and I ran errands. First we went to the post office to mail some house buying paperwork. We used the post o tron machine. Then we had lunch at the diner. It was surprisingly busy. After that, we went to the library for the next very terrible dragonriders of pern book. The last one took me over a month to read. I hope I can get through this one faster.

I feel very sleepy now. I might take a nap.

For christmas, we got a shiitake mushroom log. It is quite possibly the most annoying, time consuming thing in the world. Every two weeks it needs to be soaked. After 6 weeks, it needs to be soaked in the fridge. And for all that work? Three mushrooms so far. But this week it decided to grow another! Woo! At this rate, I'll have enough for a meal by next christmas. At least shiitake dry well, so I can store them.
