Had a really interesting dream last night, Stephan. I would say based on its contents that it was a nightmare, but nightmares used to make me scared to sleep and now I just consider them an novel experience, so it doesn't feel like a nightmare to me anymore.

I was in a restaurant, and it was pretty normal at first. It wasn't a restaurant I had ever been to, but it had a '50s vibe to it. Then everything changed, and it was a Russian restaurant, and the person at the counter told me I had the wrong currency to pay.

I go outside and it's cold, and I'm lost. I go to walk into a building and suddenly I'm in a different place again. Every door I go in takes me to a different place.

I start muttering to myself.

I am losing my mind.

I am losing my mind.

Suddenly I am back to my original destination, and a person appears. This person in no way looks like my actual dad, but the character I am in the dream identifies him as such. And also thinks that he should be dead.

I realize I'm sitting down. I stand up, and everything glitches out. The visuals flicker between the restaurant and a black-and-white checkered background. My "dad" doesn't flicker. He stays constant.

This is VR!

I go to take off a headset and one comes off. I'm holding it in my hands now, but the scene stays the same. I drop the headset and take off another one. Another and another.

I am losing my mind.

I am losing my mind.

I am losing my mind.

I wake up. It's 0300. I go back to sleep.

Forgot my waffles in the freezer. Updating breakfast.

The dream still swirls in my thoughts. Makes me think of a song.

Let's do some work.

Fri Apr 27 04:26:02 UTC 2018

Did good work today.

I like my current mindset. Today, for a variety of reasons, I bused home. The whole time I was actively loathing the decision. It felt like I was choosing to be lazy and spending money for the luxary. It was the right decision today, but I want to keep that mindset, because it's really good that I run to and from work. It feels good. It keeps me stretching regularly (I even stretch when I get to work now). It helps me note anything that seems physically troubling.

The reasons I bused today were:

  • I plan on working remotely tomorrow so I brought my stuff home
  • I needed to grab some things from the Target near work
  • I've been doing a lot of exercise and needed to tone it down a bit today, just in case

I made a deal with the nagging part of my brain to run that after climbing tomorrow morning, I would still run to work and then run right back home. That way, I missed just one run of the 10 in the week.

Time for TV.
