This has got to be the earliest I’ve been up since the summer. You know, back in the old days when I still had a steady job (not counting the recent contract work). I admit I was concerned about my ability to get up in the morning these days, but I think that as usual, I just needed some actual motivation, and in this case, it was that I will be leaving for Wisconsin tomorrow; the day before a trip is usually pretty busy, so I might as well get up early to tackle most of it.
I had another dream last night, although this one wasn’t nearly as weird as the last one — just sort of a generic “weird.” You know, the usual things, like living with a random assortment of friends and heavy snow outside and the like. What was memorable about this one is that the Dragon Boat Girl was in it, and she and I actually started talking again; she was deeply amused by my inability to pronounce certain words, and so that melted any ice between us.
To be honest, I miss DBG; she’s been with her current boyfriend for over two years now, and by all accounts is likely going to marry him at some point — this is cool, as she deserves some happiness after the tough times she had earlier in her life. But I always regretted that I’ve never been able to really maintain communication with her — she’s mainly busy with her school and work, naturally, but there have been things that have taken place which have led me to believe that she has some type of residual anger towards me. Or something. And okay, yeah, a lot of this is based on what I perceived as some “snubbing” on Facebook, but still!
Whatever the case, I would like to still count DBG among my friends, but I just don’t get the sense that the feeling is mutual, so obviously the dream was a hope for a mended relationship.
Ah well. At least the dream was a nice one in that sense, even if it wasn’t as entertaining as hiding from a black dragon in a department store. Hard to top that.
