Portland's had a rough patch but I love it! There are many people there with good hearts and they have Powell's Books! One of my happy places! I'm toying with writing a play with part of it set in Portland.
You mentioned having an odd dream and if my memory serves me correctly you take Malatonin. I have tried to take it in the past but stopped due to strange dreams...FYI. Did you sleep better when you were going to the gym and working out? Hope you get some rest on you days off. Big hugs to Buddie and Eleanor!!
