Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Very exciting (and nervous-making) Grace news!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Best of luck with Grace.
I just dreamt I was fired. like, not sure it's Tuesday morning fired. I'm not looking for comfort, but why does our brain allow us to do that to ourselves? How is that good for us?
:: checks date::
I would have said something if they fired me yesterday, right? Okay, maybe not. But I think it wasn't real.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Baby goats are wonderful. Decannulation for Grace would be even more wonderful.
Pouring rain. No eclipse for me. Secretly glad because I didn't want to get up at 3am.
I've been having rotten stress dreams too. Lots of people in my head who don't like me.

A friend of my mom's did a study on masochistic dreaming as a way of processing negative emotion, but I never heard the outcomes. Still feels like your brain piling on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, Grace!
I saw a lot of goats last week, and they sure are goat-like, aren't they? I mean with the yelling and climbing and glayvin.

Punishingly Intricate
I had a dream last night that I was in a yoga class where the teacher was assigning us our "virtual ages" & she told everyone else in the class they were 18 & I was like "around 30." I also had to get on a 6pm flight and it was 530 & I hadn't packed yet. Earlier in the night I thought someone was in the room and woke up screaming (and the windows were open so I was terrified that I'd wake my neighbors and they'd come check on me). All in all my brain was being a total dick to me last night!

My brain was also a jerk last night. I dreamed that Casper's science fair project was due on Monday, and I dreamed I started my period unexpectedly and bled all over the place.
I feel like life is hard enough. Why can't all dreams be like the awesome ones (best examples, as reported by my children - diving into a cupcake the size of a house; hula-hooping with a donut and eating bites out of it. Now THAT is a dream.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
And I woke up from a dream where the garbage trucks were coming and I hadn't put out the cans. (Garbage day is TOMORROW, btw.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mmmm, donut hula hoop.
Sorry for the bad dreams, people. Those are some doozies. I tend to think that we aren't supposed to remember our dreams, it's just a bug that we do ( which sometimes seems like a feature shay with the cupcakes and donuts). We're just such narrative junkies, humans, we can't let go of the stories we make up about the garbage our brains are trying to get rid of.
Eta: went to bed before total eclipse but after usual bed time. On the plus side, slept deeply and without apparent dreams, if not really for a long enough time.
