Want me to hit "remind [you] to play"?

Sure!

I changed lightbulbs! It only took me.

Bubba didn't help?

Reminded!

Nice productivity, but it's lacking as a punch line.

How many Lees does it take to change a lightbulb? All of them.

Day of Rest, bitches.

Yeah, I had bad emo nightmares last night (kept waking up and feeling more upset), and slept until almost 11AM.

Though my last dream was kind of funny in retrospect...Brenda and I were in Mexico, but were taking a cab, and stopped at Walmart to buy food, and asked the cabbie to wait. And then we were trying to rush through, and couldn't find anything, because all of the food was in weird places, and they had hidden all the cereal on a secret second floor, except when I managed to get up there, there was a ballet or opera or something going on, and the cereal was even more hidden, and there were all these people in fancy clothes...and I was afraid the cabbie would take off...

Bubba didn't help?

He tried.

Not unrelatedly, he doesn't like being locked in the bathroom.

Aw, I knew he'd want to help.

Hidden Cereal Opera at Walmart is intriguing, meara! I hate upsetting emo nightmares, though, blergh for that whole experience.

Yeah, it was a relief to wake up from a stressy Amazing Race-type dream, as opposed to a dream about the ex making fun of me, or being mean to me.

I hate those familiar-but-not-foiled dreams. When I'm oversleeping, I always have dreams in which I am trying to shower but am always thwarted. Bonus if it involves fighting with a family member to the point of tears, which generally doesn't happen IRL. Those come with stress.

Ironically, the latter proved helpful when my dad took unreasonable and batshit to 11 in Australia. Instead of engaging (because in the nightmares, that is always what I'm doing and it leaves me feeling helplessly frustrated,) I just shut down and walked away. It was still frustrating, but I was in control of it all. Well, of me. It scared me because it was behavior I do not associate with my father and I's relationship at all. It's what spurred me to have a come to jesus talk with mom over dad's health, so that was good.

Interesting locker room comments today. One, I got complimented on my 'great legs.' Which, I think I have good legs too, I'm just amused at how, in general, there's this GO SISTER! camaraderie in this Y locker room. Compliments flow freely and often and it's just...nice.

Other was someone asking about my accent. From someone who sounded to my ear to not have an accent (ie-same as me,) so I was a bit bewildered that she thought I have an accent! I just said NM to midwestern parents, with 4 years in NC and the last 16(!) here, and she nodded and said 'that explains it!'

Explains what??

Think I might start my taxes tomorrow. And do some furniture laundry. And dinner with friends.

Is anyone still watching Nashville?

I just watched last week's ep, and my biggest take away is that

Eric Close has odd nipples, so maybe it's time for me to stop.
