Bad Dreams

I dreamed that I was, for some reason, being shown a vivisection laboratory. The woman running it was nice enough, and I think the work she was doing was important, so I'm not even upset with her. But the things I saw were one of the worst dreams I can ever remember having. Afterward, in the dream, I was at some kind of convention with Danae. She kept trying to make me feel better and engage me in doing things, but all I could do was sit and cry, moaning when I tried to talk.

So now I'm awake at 2:30 in the morning, afraid of the dark, afraid to close my eyes. I'm hungry, but I'm out of ice cream and I can't imagine eating anything with meat in it without mild nausea. I think I'll make some ramen and play Civilization until I'm too exhausted to keep my eyes open and can forget about the stuff in my head.

Danae happened to still be awake when I texted her, so I got to talk with her for a while. That helped. I'll be so glad when I'm back with her. Maybe these dreams will settle down.

Music

I'm listening to the Indigo Girls' self-titled album and missing my stereo, but enjoying the music. Warm food is in my tummy. I've had reassurance from people. Things are better.

My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark.

Valentine's Day

It's kind of funny seeing the links to things likes guides to manage Valentine's Day as a polyamorous person. I'm sure that can be really complicated for a lot of people. I've never actually had partners who care one way or another about the holiday, and while I do think it would be fun to celebrate with people who do, it's never been an issue even when I'm involved with more than one person.

The biggest part of it for me, I guess, has always been the immediately following holiday; half-price chocolate day.

More Medical Information

I had an appointment with the urologist today.

Trip Planning

I've been looking at all these pictures of people camped out under tarps and I couldn't get my head around how to set one up. Here we go! Simple, understandable directions. Yay!

Found my Fitbit

I had to go digging in the depths of my used couch to find my missing Fitbit that was cheerfully updating its status from an undisclosed location. It actually was not that grungy in there! And while I was at it, I found the wrist band for tracking sleep just behind one of the footrests.
