in case you didn't know... stressed spelled backwards is desserts.
and i had a bit of a hershey bar after dinner, even though it doesn't agree with me.
My father is done with chemo treatments, and his doctor has put him in touch with Hospice. Nice group of people, they've been in touch with him already and are doing what needs doing to make him 'comfortable'. That's how it stands for now.
My desktop is ... toast. and I'm bummed. I've had it for 8+ years and was set up just perfectly. I've been tinkering, trying to get it to come up one last time so i can retrieve some data from it. So far, no luck, but I'm not out of ideas yet!
I return back to work after being off for 18 days. I am a bit fearful at what I will find, and I'm a bit more upset about my situation. Being all my doctoring was done in Calif, I'm dependent on being able to get things done via phone or fax. But the dr Office hasn't yet sent in my return to work forms. So it may be that when I go in, I cannot work. *sigh* and with the time difference, I cannot call them until 9:30 my time, and I start work at 6am. GRrrrrrrr.
Ok, now that I've put all the bad stuff out there, written it down, gotten it off my chest, it should help me sleep. I also forced myself to NOT take a nap all day so that I would be tired. I got laundry done, bedsheets washed, groceries shopped for. All in all, a productive day!
In the words of a great country song:

One Direction
Have you ever had yourself a really fun dream??? Most often, dreams are something we can't or don't understand, and for me, there's an element of fear, danger ... something I'm worried about. Well, last night I had a really fun dream. If you have daughters, or are around pre-teen girls, you know who One Direction is ... a boy band, young, cute .......
I'm in a town in the mountains, its rustic, laid back, a fun place to be. Tall redwood trees, they always smell so good and refreshing. I'm in my car, circling through town. They had made a change to the road, you didn't have to stop at the little house for pedestrians any longer. So I drove up and turned right toward the amphitheater, there was going to be a concert tonight. Mind you, this is a little theater, room enough for the band and maybe 40 guests in the audience. We sat in folding chairs, I didn't recognize any of the other guests except Margarita. There were about 15 boys in this band; they stood on risers to sing (you know the kind they have for school choirs). While they sang, I commented to Margarita how cute these guys are, and she said "if only they were 10 years older". And in the way of dreams... they were!
Of course, as they sang I was moving around, snapping a few photos, thinking my granddaughter would never believe I was here with them! After they sang, they mingled with us and talked. Most of them were in their mid 30s (miraculously I was still only 55 hahah) We were having a really good time, laughing, dancing, exchanging selfies, more dancing. I really liked one (or two!) and we sat down to talk, share a soda. He talked about what its like to perform songs they've been doing for a few years, but he never tires of it. He likes bringing joy to people with his music. One of the boys asked what my fav song of theirs was. I told them how I remembered their first song, before anyone had ever heard of them called "Blood". (I don't know where that came from, its not a song of theirs)
He asked about my photography and I explained that it was a hobby of mine that I really enjoyed. I found he was a down to earth regular kind of guy, not all stuck on himself like some who become celebrities. He took my hand and we walked around the building and looked up at the stars through the trees, commenting on how nice it is to be out of big cities and back to nature. Hearing music start up again, we went back into the building and joined the rest of the band for more dancing. They loaded on the buses about an hour later, heading to their next town, the next performance. But not before he and I exchanged phone numbers. :)
This is One Direction today... imagine how they'll look in their 30s. hehehheeh
After dream notes:
nice that boys can become men, gaining another 10-15 years in a dream while I didn't age at all!
I woke up smiling, feeling happy, nothing like a good dream to put you in a good mood :)
I think the only song of theirs that I know is "Story of My Life" .... but I didn't hear that in my dream.
Dreams have a funny way of making us
see things
feel things
imagine things
and yet after the dream,
even if we know it isn't real
it sticks with us.
Happy Saturday, everyone!
