I woke up earlyish for me. Might have had something to do with the fact that my dad started laundry at 7 a.m.! I sleep in the room right next to the pipes, and it was loud. Might have also had something to do with the fact that I had mucho sleep the night before.

So, I'm sitting in a chair in the corner poking around on my laptop. For a moment, I felt like I was home for Christmas and that I was going to have to go back to California eventually. It was weird. I haven't felt at all like I should be going back to CA in the entire time that I've been back. This is home, this is comfortable, is right.

I don't deny that I miss my friends. I had a dream the other night that everyone I used to work with was mad at me. Those are never nice dreams. They make me feel like they're true.

I thought I would miss all the places that I used to eat out more than I have. I'm glad that memory fades. It sucks to crave food that you really can't have.

OK, have to get moving so I can get to the post office before it closes at noon!

I've been having some seriously weird dreams lately.  I can't give any examples, but trust me, they've been crazy.  I had another one this morning.  I dreamed about packing!  I dreamed that I was back in California and that we were packing up my apartment all over again.  This time, there were 6 people who were going to be riding in the car for the 2000 mile drive.  I kept finding a bunch of extra things that I wanted to get rid of on Freecycle!  An extra TV, and extra printer.  I find it very funny, actually.  But what a nightmare!  I am not looking forward to packing up again.  It would be so nice if I was in the financial place to buy a house.  Just a little bungalow.  I don't need that much space!  

I vaguely remember a dream I had last night.  I dreamed that I moved back to California and that I dragged my brother and his fiancee with me!  We were talking to someone about it and said that we hoped mom and dad would move out eventually. 

I don't think that the dream really represents what I want. 

My brother just told me that one of my parents' cats just died.  Not the one with asthma.  They said that she wasn't acting any differently at all and they have no idea why.  I feel like I should be more upset.  AT the same time, pets are not people, and it's right not to be as upset as you are with people. 

I'm striking out in the job-hunting category.  It's really frustrating.  I'm hoping something will come up, but so far, nada.  I really don't want to substitute, but it's looking like I'm going to have to find something else for this school year and try again next year.  At the same time, I hate doing that to another company/employer.  I have to pay the bills, and I need insurance coverage.  What else can I do?  I'm not giving up hope yet, but I am definitely feeling discouraged.

OK, off to eat before it's time to get my car inspected for registration in Ky.

I dreamed last night that I used the Queen of England's toilet.  I was first at some sort of dorm where they had women's restrooms, but only men were living there.  I had to go to the bathroom really badly, but all they had were squat toilets.  I've had to use those in real life before, and they kind of scare me.  Suffice it to say that I can't use a squat toilet.  In my dream, I kept looking for a regular sit toilet so I could finally use it!  At some point, me and the people I'm with end up in Buckingham Palace.  I'm still looking all around for a sit toilet.  No luck.  I decide that I'm going to peek into the Queen's bathroom to see if she has one.  I stealthily look, and I'm in luck!  The bathroom is done in white and gold with two bathtubs, and a sit toilet!!!  I creep in, thinking that I'll use it really quick and no one will ever know better.  As I'm doing my business, who comes in but the Queen!  She caught me using her toilet.  But, boy did I feel better.

And then I woke up and really had to go to the bathroom.

In other "news," I have an ant infestation.  I thought it was gone, but I woke up this morning to what seemed like millions coming from my ceiling (?) and ending up in my sink where there were a grand total of 4 utensils.  What the heck?  I mean, seriously.  There's hardly anything on there left for them to eat.  I bought ant traps last week, but didn't make it home with them.  I meant to go back and let the grocery store know, but I didn't since I was sick.  I need some other things as well, so I'm going to hit the Target tonight.

I'm feeling nearly totally recovered from my cold, however.  I still have a little bit of a lingering cough.

I have started doing a list of 5 Good Things for every day.  I think that it's hard to stay positive sometimes, but making a point to write down 5 things every day has really helped.  : )
