Before bed: worked, cleaned my apartment, went out with someone and had both a wonderful and eventually very painful time together.

To bed at 1:38am

(Didn't write down the time i woke up)

1. A bright, sunny afternoon but with lightly overcast skies (so not direct sun, and not blue skies...sort of whitish). I was at Omand's Creek and there bleachers set up and filled with a crowd who came to watch a children's group performing, or possibly it was a children's festival. Suddenly some guy stands up near the front of the crowd, he's drunk, with a group of other men who are also drunk, and yelling at another man. Then the man he is yelling at is either in the stands or far away--if he is in the stands he jumps over the side and starts running or if he's farther away he turns and hears he's being hollered at and starts running. I had first been behind the bleachers noticing this occurrence when i'm now on the other side. The guy is being chased after, and it's evident he has a developmental and possibly also a physical disability. He's attacked and knocked around by the drunk guys who i think were men of Aboriginal descent who are then gone when i get to the guy who was being chased. There are receipts scattered around him and i start trying to help him find the "important" one he needs to find. I ask him if he is OK and if a certain receipt is the right one, and he gets frightened of me. I responded with frustration that i am trying to help him and he starts freaking out and then takes off and runs away and people are staring at me thinking i was hurting him.
