I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm glad you got good, and potentially amusing, cat news, Katerina.

I've been living a moderate, if not great, introvert life since March, aside from, you know, death in the family, hardship for many friends, and watching my country descend into chaos and misery. But damn if all the everything isn't starting to wear me down.

Tom, that's a nifty dream.

ltc had no fever today and it never got above 99 yesterday, so she's at school today. I think it is just an allergy/sinus thing.

What is even happening?

But then, a couple of limousines pull up, and out step Kevin Feige and Joss Whedon. Feige had brought Whedon there to try to get him to patch things up with fandom. Except that Joss was still being an arrogant jerk who wouldn't listen to us.

Are we sure this was a dream, Scola?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shana tova, everyone!

That's amazing, and I'm sorry you weren't more successful!!

That is a heckuva dream, Tom. I like it better than what I remember of mine, in which I ordered a cocktail that was free if you ate the chicken foot that came with it (not why I ordered it, I was told later) which I expected to be a dim sum type of thing but was served raw and then injected with something that made it swell up and change form into something more like a beetle and then shrink again and fold itself up into a mini taco. I did not eat it.

Hope ltc is feeling better.

I'm off to give blood. Yay, except for the part where I have to get dressed and leave the house.

The dream I had last night involved me realizing I had forgotten about the stairs to the attic in my bedroom, then remembering I had bought my own house at some point(Still in an apartment in the real world, sorry) and that I was going to have to deal with the overflowing boxes up in the attic at some point.

I almost never remember my dreams ... I know I have them, since I occasionally have "memories" of things I know didn't happen. Not sure what that's about.

I had one the other night that I had hooked up with this semi-celebrity (who I do crush on irl) but somehow we were both in college or something? And I woke up and was like "sweet!" But then went back to sleep and dreamed that then I was somehow inadvertently stalking her and she was so grossed out and awkward and I was crushed. And of course that is the dream that stayed with me :(

The dreams I do remember are usually nightmares that I wake up in the middle of ... any others must be fairly innocuous.

Aw, meara

I rarely remember my dreams, usually just a few images and a general impression of what was going on. This one was unusually vivid.

Successfully gave a pint of blood, should have antibody results in a week or so (forgot to make my next appointment I just realized, oops, but I have the phone number for the site I go to so I can call them directly). Stopped by Trader Joe's for challah, they had round holiday loaves! Also picked up a bottle of Honey Moon viognier as that seemed appropriate and way too much in the way of pumpkin flavored this and that because of course I did. Checked my work email for the thing I was expecting on Tuesday that I would've had to do some work on and found instead the other party postponing our next meeting so I do NOT have to work while on vacation at all! Pretty good day so far and no ambitions for the rest of the day!
