stormdogIt feels really good to wake up and lower my legs over the side of my own bed, covered in freshly-laundered sheets, with lots of freshly laundered clothes waiting for me when I walk over to my dresser. It's a simple thing. But in my head right now, it just feels so much better than getting up off of the old futon mattress on the floor that came from the futon my ex and I had in our living room. The fact that my space here is more organized in general helps too. I just feel like today is off to a really good beginning.
I had a strange, and very me, dream last night. I was getting a tour of some kind of beachfront area. It was near dawn, and I walked a long a spit of land that kind of looped out into a large body of water, maybe Lake Michigan, and enjoyed the colors of the sunrise reflecting from the surface. But at some point (after walking back to land?) I ended up touring a building housing some large amount of vintage telecommunication and computer systems. I remember looking at something and exclaiming to my tour guide (who looked rather like one of the non-student employees at the computer center at school) "Is that drum memory??" as I watched a spinning device of some sort.
The last thing we saw was a room where my guide stepped forward and disappeared into the floor, then reappeared via a door off to the side with little time lost. I moved forward to see whether there was a fire pole or something. It turned out to be a big funnel-sort of hole lined with black fabric. When he jumped in again, he came flying out of the floor next to it upside down, but landed on his feet. He explained that it was a device Kodak used to stage pictures where people are in the air. They jump in the hole and a picture is taken when they come flying back out. It was a really expensive device.
