I woke up this morning from a dream wherein, in order to fool some people who were looking for me, I killed myself. I continued to go on after killing myself however - it was clear that no suicidal impulse was involved, simply a masterstroke of doing what no one would ever expect. The me that I killed wasn't entirely me either, since I went on to critique my work, discuss the decision with others and finally, foil the villains of the dream. One wonders what terrible thing they had in store for me that would have been worse than my actual plan for foiling them. The logic of the dream was terribly muddled, as dream "logic" often is, but it made perfect sense at the time. Of course.
I got up, then, and made blueberry muffins and coffee, moving very slowly. Outside, walking the dog with my daughter, Abby turns to me and asks, "If the grocery store is always open, why do the doors have locks?" While there is a perfectly good reason for the locks, I am reluctant to give it. I am more amused by the question than anything, which is perfectly cromulent given the data at her disposal. The dog spent some time acting like a fruitcake and wondering, as I was, why it had to be so freaking hot so early in the morning already. Summer's being forced upon us here in Middle Tennessee.
I completed my financial aid crap this morning, and started bank accounts for both kids yesterday as part of our errands. I finished the screenplay that I wanted to write last week, and have my brother-in-law reading it now. I plan to clean my carpets this weekend. I've got a photo scavenger hunt set up for my kids for today, am thinking about swimming after I hit the store for taco night ingredients, and am going to go look at a house for sale today that I can't afford. Unfocused? Fucking. And also A.
I am beginning to think that the new messaging architecture on Facebook is broken based on the number of answerless questions I have on there. I'm planning my Summer movie schedule now, and have decided to grudgingly go see Green Lantern, even though I'm far more excited about Captain America, Super 8, Cowboys Vs. Aliens, and the movie my kids are going to make before the Summer's over. Stanley Cup Finals start tonight, and I'm hoping to have some friends over.
Ah, Summer.
