On the drive to visit my family last weekend, I got stuck in traffic in a construction zone – behind an RV. So, no only was I not moving very fast, I also couldn’t even see why we were stopped. Fortunatly, I had plenty of new music and a stack of Origami paper, so I was content to wait it out – since I really didn’t have any other options. While I was singing along with the music, I glanced in the rear-view mirror and saw a woman in the car behind me – looking more bored than I’ve ever seen one human being look. <\/p>\n

So, I quickly folded a crane and waited until we advanced a few feet, then came to a complete stop. Putting my car in park, I got out and headed back to her vechicle. She rolled down her window and I handed her the crane – telling her that I made it for her. She thanked me and I showed her how to make the wings flap. She told me I was clever – which I knew and which is usually my downfall. And I gave her a wave as I headed back to my car. The rest of the traffic jam portion of my trip I occasionally glanced back to see that she was in a much better mood.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, I had a dream that my gas-permable broke in my eye. Which is pretty bad, but the worst was that a sliver of the contact cut my eyeball and I started to bleed. I remember looking down and seeing the blood that had dripped out of my eye fall and hit the table. I think I was looking for some tweezers to pull the sliver out when I woke up.<\/p>\n

The first thing I did when I woke up was gently rub my eyes to make sure they were okay – and I didn’t put my contacts in for several hours after that.<\/p>\n

Which makes me wonder. I have nightmares all the time and people usually blame them on all the weird books, movies, and video games that I enjoy. But, the contact thing wasn’t related to anything like that. Are my dreams weird because of the weird stuff in books and games – or are my dreams weird because I’m weird and those elements just end up there?<\/p>\n

Food for thought, I guess.<\/p>\n

Well, back to work…<\/p>\n
