Struggling with some darkness tonight, as well as feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted. Up at 3:01AM. Lucero running through my head. I’d put on Tennessee but I think I left the disc in the car. Do I want to run out through the snow to get it? Not sure yet.

Anyway, I’ll wrote more later, but I wanted to get down a dream from an hour or two back. Shadow and Monroe were still alive, and I was trying to get both of them to a nonexistent hotel near the corner of Harlem and Higgins in Chicago. Neither had leashes so I was mostly carrying Monroe and talking with Shadow to make sure she was sticking with us and staying out of danger. And at first we were going to stay at a boutique hotel but I decided they probably wouldn’t accept pets and instead crossed Higgins a lower rent hotel, the kind where the room doors open onto a parking lot. I was talking with a kind woman at the desk (which for some reason was outside, too) and she seemed willing to let us stay but even if we did I knew the hotel would only provide respite, really, a place to crash and crash hard on the bed together until we had to find a way home later.

More later.
