I still live!
Various things:
Weird dreams
I KNOW there was one with Riku in it, and at some point it had Sora (and sorta implied Kairi, methinks, because it didn't FEEL like Kairi was missing) too. It had adventure and weirdness and Sora changing into someone else and the obligatory I-was-Riku-in-the-Dream parts. It was totally awesome and for the life of me, I can't remember what it's about. BUMMER.
I had another one that was sadder (in-dream). It was one of those dreams that make no logical sense with the participants in real life, which is usually the case when I dream about my family. Apparently my mom, dad, brother and I were living in China (go figure), and we know that another giant earthquake like the one that hit Sichuan was coming. We are frantically packing up clothes and stuff so we can catch the next train/bus/whatever out of town, to arguably safer locations. On the way out, my dad gets obstinate and wants to stay. Somehow we manage to talk him into getting on the bus, and we take off.
On the bus, my dad decides my brother is getting off at the next stop, which is incidentally close to one of our spare apartments (WTF?). I try to make him see reason that the GIANT EARTHQUAKE will come and wipe out all life and that we can't leave my brother behind to apartment-sit, but my dad insisted and my brother went. I had a huge row with my parents and went after my brother.
The apartment was very, very spare. All I can remember was that there was tatami and it was one huge room. I was totally morose when I got there, but hanging out with my brother cheered me up. I think the last thought I had before I woke up was a rather fatalistic, "I hope we die quickly"....
This dream is weird cuz my dad and my brother, totally would not do those things they did in the dream. And my mom wouldn't BE with my dad anyway, so....WTF, brain?
In other news, my dad started working again, and it seems to be going well. At this point, we joke that he's only working to get some allowance, since I make enough for the two of us (not that I make a lot, but there's no college/mortgage payments, which is huge load off, not that I ever paid those). It was more convenient to have someone at the house though, to do stuff like chores and set food out to thaw for dinner and stuff, but that's minor. I expect we'll get into the swing of things once he settles in.
I continue the food-intolerance test thing, which hasn't really done anything, I suppose. I've eaten some stuff with milk products (the bread-bowl had cheese and butter toasted into it, and the cake today had fudge and frosting, though I didn't eat all of it) and had minor reactions that might not have been really reactions...But so far sugar by itself or caffeine by itself isn't setting off what used to happen, which was kinda a mix of nausea and bloating and tightness in my chest. Oh, well...at least it's not happening now with anything else I'm eating, so that's good.
My next goal is to try harder to eat less of the breads. I don't eat a lot of it now, but sometimes I forget. And the sugars...I really should've turned down the cake today.@_@ Especially since I know I'm going to Coffee night. I've also started tracking my exercise time, which is good. I was doing that for awhile and then just sorta lost track.
After highlighting all the records that were of me eating out, I realized I ate out 7 times in the past 10 days. That's almost 1/3 of the total meals.@_@ UGH. Must...eat...out...less....
And now, off to do more laundry!
