Big Sun Smiling

BigSun

What happens to a person when she has reached the point of laughing for no reason at all? Giggling because there’s no turning back? Stirring stirfry on the stove I answered the phone as if I never left work. My husband giggled on his end and brought me back home. Woops. I mean…hello? Too late. He continued to laugh at me. There was no taking back the slip, nothing left to do but laugh along. The ingredients for Pad Thai were in front of me but I was miles away from my kitchen. Hopeless and pitiful. Yes, I admited, I was still thinking about work. Obviously. I could hear kisa’s eyeroll over the phone coupled with his gentle sigh. He knows where I’m coming from even if he’s not from there. Cutting limes and chopping peanuts I was thinking about a mouse.
There is a mouse in my office. He (?) has broken into my packets of hot cereal and crackers, strewn crumbs across my desk. The sad thing is I knew this before I moved in, even before I ever dreamed the office would be mine. I simply moved in without memory of the mouse. Now, I’m reminded and all I can do is sigh. It’s just one more thing.
Last night I dreamed of a cruise ship. My family on a cruise and me waving goodbye from the wharf. According to my new dream book that means my family is either going to die or I want them to go away. Well, since they are nowhere near me I have given myself worry. I resisted the urge to call them all day. What would I have said? How to explain my latest neurotic dreamscape? I have to laugh at myself for how ridiculous it all seems.

  1. Your and A`s dedication to work….. . 😦 You girl`s are crazy! 😉 😦

    Oh, and btw : love today`s photo-it`s pretty cool! 🙂

  2. Another thing we have in common 😉
    Lately, I sleep, eat and dream work!

    Thanks for the compliment about photo. It’s one of my favorites.

  3. Yep-true. I`ll add that to the list of things you`ve got in common. 😉

    “Dream work”? Thats no good! 😦

    You`re welcome. 🙂 The photo is one of these that look like they`re photoshopped, but in fact aren`t. I like that! 🙂

  4. Oh goodness – don’t be so literal (I know … words are important to you, but try this my way). Death can be several things. It is not necessarily a physical death. “Death” is the final termination of something, but not always a person. You need to think outside the box on this one my word-bound friend. Has there been closure on anything? Has something come to and end? Think … I know that you’ll figure it out!

  5. As for the mouse … a no-kill trap and some tupperware will solve your problem (mouse in the trap, food in the tupperware)

  6. As I said in my last line “I have to laugh” because I know I’m being ridiculous. My dreams have always caused trouble!
