Step 1: Pulling the cork
Okay, here's the start of the deluge.
General happenings:
- Several re-organizations of space, settling, figuring out a lifestyle, and so on. One part I seem to have thought worthy of mention, we've taken the covered bathtub I was using as storage and made it a very comfortable meditation space, to the point of almost falling asleep while there. Although it has since started accumulating stuff again, and is no longer space.
- not sure why I typed "c".
- Lots of responsibilities.
- Greatly enjoyed Selma, valid questions about using a British actor rather than American.
- Taking lots of stuff to Goodwill after our combining of homes. Which reminds me of another quizzical observation; for reasons unknown, I've flipped "house" and "home" in my head. Rationally I can accept the idea of a house being a standalone building and a home being where one lives, but I regularly say "come to my house" (when I live in a condominium) and look at buying a home.
- Wanting to organize, rebelling against organizing.
- Making menus together.
- February and March this year we had "snow days". The first was pretty bad (and poorly managed), the second was a bit of an overreaction but I don't blame them. We rather enjoyed the semi-enforced vacations; went supply shopping and I essentially camped at her house.
... wait, it was actually last year. Why do I have "snow days" written down? I already have a journal entry for that.
- "Who cooks for you?" is simultaneously a question about intimacy and an owl call.
2AM dream while overstuffed: Singing in an award show with Erin & Nancy & Jeremy & Vijaya: Don’t want to miss a thing”
Dreams in April 2015
10: I'm driving on steep roads ; 2001 Ex, her husband, Sweetheart, and I are having tea ; making a leaf collection with grandpa and brother; church redesign w/mums.
11: Barely remember: Story book, black girl, soccer club (ritual affiliation), driving to airport.
17: Classes w/Sweetheart, e-mail system with the previous condo president.
19: Mosquito experiment
20: I'm walking through a thunderstorm, muddy forking trail, picked up by raoin's almost-boss, who offers to take me to dinner. This is pretty close to something that could happen, she has picked me up along the street while I was walking to work on a few occasions, and also offered to feed me, although the trail isn't right next to the road. Wake up with both hands asleep, major itch in throat, Sweetheart’s hand tangled in my hair and scratching my head.
I started recording Meta Game World at this point.
22: I get a deed printed out for a neighbor, call a counselor about stress management, and there was apparently a BIG PROJECT at work.
23: Draft a letter for the condo, to try to get everyone on-board for getting their pipes checked at the same time as we shut off the water.
24: Hiked a trail together?
25: Watched "Monkey Kingdom", met with Dad and S'mom. Not sure what "Ghost fun" was supposed to be.
26: Dreams with Tara's baby, and dating Rasha, and a kid throwing lit cigarettes at me. Went to Six Flags, played carnival games, got money bear, a shark hat, and a cape (but refused the flag one). My hat flew off when I rode the Sky Screamer, and briefly couldn't find it, but apparently clever Sweetheart saw it and nabbed it without my noticing. Rode the railroad, the Monster Mansion, and Batman Backwards, with a lot of chatter with the people in the really long line for the latter; they were climbing railings and pipes and whathaveyou. We came back and ate at a Mexican restaurant next to a fountain with the smell of jasmine flowers. Sweetheart briefly lost her phone, but she had left it in the bathroom and someone picked it up and turned it in to the hostess. I felt sick beyond what I would have expected from roller coasters.
27: Dream about helping Mum move. Woke at 5 with sick feeling. Day of reading. Ate nothing but an apple? Not sure if I believed that. On the way home, felt seriously sick, jumped out of the car while stopped, told Sweetheart I'd meet her at home. A little retching but no vomit, stomach calmed on the way home.
28: Woke up twice. Hypersalivation, feeling like I was on the edge of puking but nothing came up. Still bubbly, but less. Ate pudding. Went shopping at Patel Plaza, found saffron ice cream, started cleaning house for pending family arrival, got stabbed in the stomach by a wasp for the very first time, applied ice. Lucky for us, we had finished most of the stuff we needed, and I could still help out somewhat. Family arrived.
29: I woke up once with sick feeling. Had oatmeal. Work stuff, reading. Met a few people with the Condo Socials at Raging Burrito, followed up with ice cream.
30: No wakeup! Weekly announcements? Wrote bride-and-groom-to-be, had lunch at Chai Pani, got fitted for suit at Northlake, and then the car broke down. To this day Sweetheart blames my breakdancing to "Uptown Funk". Ryam was kind enough to give us a ride home.
Next up, my sister’s wedding. After which (and including) future entries will probably be blocks of random interwoven with epic events.
