ksmithConsidering that I will be off tomorrow and participating in Windycon for part of the day, this is a Friday of the Mind.
Going through one of those stretches at the day job when you berate yourself for doing something Dumb. There is a lesson to be learned from the muddle however. Just wish it could have been learned on someone else's nickel.
Weird dream last night. All during the thing, I could sense myself as being both in the dream and watching it from the outside. Not quite lucid dreaming--I couldn't change course. I just knew what was going on.
Frex, I spent part of the dream with a guy I knew I would be marrying, even though Outside Me knew that I didn't know him very well and really should rethink the situation. I then spent part of the time discussing matters, including my current wish to retire in 4 years, with a person who in real life does not like me. So there I am, in my dream, wondering why I'm discussing life matters with someone I know doesn't like me. Why is she pretending to care? Why am I bothering?
Then came the part where I took one of my dogs for a walk through a field. Outside Me knew as we walked that ticks would be an issue--I wore shorts and it was mid-summer and I walked through knee-high grass, so you do the math. Sure enough, we stopped walking and I checked my legs. Sorry for the grossness, but I did have to engage in some pretty rapid tick removal. Quite a few of the little buggers were trying to take a bite.
I've pretty much forgotten what the dream was about otherwise. Images of those small drive-in eateries that are always going out of business, junked cars, and feeling abandoned and not quite sure what's going on. Not a nightmare, but we could do without a repeat visit to this particular location in Dreamland.
Windycon this weekend. Looking forward to it, and to seeing some folks I haven't met up with in a while.
ENDGAME wordcounts later. Not a lot of progress, but I think I have Chapter 3 worked out. Just need to fill in business--she shrugged/he stared out at the horizon, etc...--and then that will be first drafted. Wading upstream in a river of treacle, that's what this is.
