Another Dream

Lately I've been sleeping only about six hours a night, even with my best sleep aids. Last night I fell asleep during the 11 o'clock news. It's not unusual for me to fall asleep at that time.This morning I woke up at 6:55 and was going to get up. That's not unusual either. But then I was dreaming again. I was dreaming that I was moving into a house with other people. There was furniture being delivered but other furniture had already been delivered. The couple with whom I was to live had bought furniture at one store and then changed their minds and found different furniture that they purchased at another store. But somehow they didn't get in touch with the first store to cancel delivery. Now it was arriving. And somehow I was supposed to go out and tell the people on the truck that we wouldn't be taking the furniture. The next thing I knew Laura was walking into my bedroom with KJ. It was 8:00. I had fallen back to sleep and I was very tired. Maybe I will be sleeping well again now. However, the dream made me think. I have decided it was telling me that Laura and Kyle have turned to me to fix messes. The latest mess is not one they've asked me to fix but I feel it's one I must. The state has cancelled the Healthy Families health coverage that KJ was on. Laura and Kyle each have coverage through their employer but to add the baby was costly, enough to break their budget. They got him covered on Healthy Families, but now, since it is no more, he is not covered. I find this completely unacceptable. They feel he will be treated in an ER in an emergency. I think he needs regular check-ups, vaccinations, and the rest. I had been thinking of telling them I would cover KJ until either Healthy Families is reinstated or they find something they can afford.
