The snake in a dream again

I'm in a car with another girl. We're in the front seat. I don't know who's driving. I'm seated on the left, her on the right. We're having an animated conversation about releasing pressure at a certain point on the hand near the thumb.

Outside it's a bright beautiful day. The road is scenic with the water (beach?l) on the right and a hill/mountain on the left.

She is slim, with long hair, full of life. She holds my right hand to demonstrate the pressure point concept. While we're this conversation I remember that someone else knew how to do it and was successful each time to break pressure and as I tell her and hold her left hand to show it, I look outside the car to my left and I see movement from above, so I look up.

I see something hurtling down and it enters the car, into my clothes from behind near left shoulder. I realise it's a snake and I freeze. I don't move. I tell the girl/woman it's a snake and i can't move. I had felt it's body slide down and don't know where it went. I'm waiting and not moving because I don't want to cause grief to myself. The girl says something about the area on the hand again and holds my hand. So I go back to holding her hand and then try to give her a demo of how the other person used to do it.

That's when I feel the snake again and this time slithering upward, and going out from my right. It felt longer when it went down, shorter on exit.

I've woken up with a fright again. Slightly paralysed. Typing this down so that I can visit it later or have someone visit it and tell me what's going on with me.

Colors that I remember, a lot of white  (clothes, the inside of the car, the side of the water)and light blue (water, sky), bright sunshine, looks like summer but I wasn't sweating. The hill/mountain was a regular brown and green. I don't remember any plants on it. The snake was a covered thing, camoflaged and that's why i couldn't make out as it hurtled down. On exit I was too frozen to look at it, but just felt it go out. Disgusting feeling both while entrering snd existing. No curling up around me. No bites. No movement once inside. Just the yuck feeling that iI had to feel what i did.

Achy breaky heart

Memories are a blessing and a curse. It's natural to shy away from the bad ones. When a happy one gets tainted, that's a bit difficult to digest. Then, there are the people associated with a memory or form a part of it. Thankful for aches. I'm still living ☺

5 years

Didn't actually realise that it was 5 years since I last used this space. To capture moments and the essence of these years, at the moment, looks like a huge task. Let's see .. - my parents are older, - new relationships appear, a few relationships gone cold, - my children are no more babies (though they loved being called 'my babies' :-)), - role change at work but not much difference in what I do, - the urge to get away from routine is stronger, - I have a new phone (yes, again. This one gifted to me though), - more reading on gadgets than books and paper, - discovering things to do with what most of us would consider waste - meet ups and reunions - more birthdays and occassions to remember - trying to balance virtual social and professional networks (sorry state I've reached) - I became an aunt to the 2 of the most cute little boys, godmother to one of them - Facebook has a way of reminding you what you did in your past years. So happy it is not a c
