Last night I dreamt that I and my sister/roommate/fellow female child had built a sort of "office" for two old male relatives in our bedroom closet.

When I was a kid, grown-ups were like Titans ... Olympians ... superheroes. They had extraordinary powers I could scarcely comprehend. They controlled what was for lunch and what time it was served. They controlled what clothes were in the dresser. They controlled where we lived. They controlled what time I went to bed and what time I got up. They ( Read more... )

Slept 7 hours last night. Felt good today, then sort of crashed around 2 pm & haven't done much since. I'm not depressed, but all that energy is just gone. I've been reading fic, watching tv, playing Ticket to Ride, generally being a lump ( Read more... )
