Today, I finally scraped together enough spare time to create my move-out packet source spreadsheet (this mostly involved taking a pre-existing spreadsheet and removing a bunch of extraneous columns and rows, and then adding a few new rows to account for subtenants) and then to mail-merge the move-out direction sheets and the key return envelope ( Read more... )

Apropos of nothing in particular, I have noticed a pattern in my dreams over the past couple years which is both completely unsurprising and kind of weird: namely, I am doing some kind of activity in an building (generally an apartment building, but sometimes a commercial property) owned and managed by the rental company I work for.

The thing is, ( Read more... )

Things done yesterday after 11am:

1. Wrote three more 3-sentence ficathon fills.

2. Left Not the IRS at 2:30pm, since I had no appointments and other people were available to cover walk-in clients.

3. Deposited the check.

4. Took a nap.

5. Folded and put away pants from Sunday's laundry effort ( Read more... )

I was poking through my background worldbuilding/character reference files for Enchanted Forest Chronicles fic this evening, and found the following passage:

Thursday, 9/25/08I had an interesting semi-lucid dream last night, in which Telemain was the oldest of a woodcutter's three sons. At some point they got involved in a quest ( Read more... )

Things and stuff:

1. I decided not to try getting a haircut on September 29th because that weekend was Apple Harvest Festival and just no. Last weekend my hair place was tragically closed. But! I called this morning to check, and my hair guy promised to be in at 9:00am tomorrow morning, so I will finally get rid of this infernally annoying ( Read more... )

I had a long string of vaguely connected dreams about apartments last night (known hazard of working for a renting company *sigh*), most of which were pretty normal... but in the middle there was a random episode where I'd moved into a company-owned apartment and was desperately trying to hide the One Ring from Chancellor Palpatine. As one does. So ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamed that my parents, my sister, and I were on a road trip like we used to do when Vicky and I were kids -- actually, I think that in the dream, Vicky and I were both teenagers again. We were heading to Minnesota, which is normal. But we were driving around in a big white van with, like, folding beds and curtains in the back instead ( Read more... )

I slept very badly Monday night -- probably free-floating stress about, I dunno, college and bus schedules and work and general uncertainty about the future. I kept having extremely upsetting dreams, which I'd wake from sweating and emotionally wrung out and then have trouble getting back to sleep ( Read more... )

My weird Celexa dreams continue, and I continue to find them vastly entertaining. Also, aside from the general free entertainment, dreams are a fascinating snapshot into the way my brain plays cut-and-paste-and-twist with a deeply random grab-bag of things I've noticed or thought about over the past few days ( Read more... )

I had a couple weird dreams last night, which I made a point of remembering after I woke up because I wanted to share them.

-----

1. The first dream was sort of a sci-fi action thriller thing, in which a group of people had the ability to 'abstract' themselves one layer away from normal reality, and then perform the same trick a second time ( ( Read more... )
