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.

Time to re-learn

I'm pregnant again. Came to know about it on 14th March, the day after Joel's Annual School Day. It took about that whole evening and night for the realisation to sink in. With this realisation, came the understanding of why I was feeling exhausted by the end of a day, and why I had headaches so frequently. First person to know this time was BV. Then  Sangi. Then called Amrith and told him. Broke the news to my parents next morning and later on to Vivek. Over the past few days have informed a few colleagues at work and most of my friends. Of all reactions I received when breaking the news of this pregnancy, I liked Sangi's the best. My two worries this time are weight and sugar. Have decided that this time I'm not going to be a lazy mom. Since I'm staying with dad and mom, I'm using this opportunity to walk every night around the house. Feeling good about it. I'm going veggie again as I did with Joel. And, this time I have a whole bunch of cravings and wi...

A month in and..

Jan 2017 has gone when I blinked. Actually 2016 seems to have continued into this year. Some more hospital stuff. Honing the art of juggling. Cooking almost non-existent at this time of year. Finals at school will soon come. CBSE having a change of curriculum structure. Not sure what the final outcome would be. Heading towards a burnout. The hope of a break in May is what keeps me going.

Digital synching in progress

It's been a long time since I stepped in here. Remembered this little space of mine after I started catching up with friends through their posts online. I still have a long way to go. For now this is my first attempt at restarting. Hoping to be regularly penning my thoughts down.
