I went to bed with a noose around my neck. Not too tightly. It was a fairly comfortable sleep. Was wondering if its presence would coax any dreams of why I shouldn't go through with the deed. There were no dreams or epiphanies. I hope I can set into the right frame of mind when the time comes. Happy Thanksgiving.
