Awesome sunset. Alas we are looking at solid grey skies here and I'm having trouble working up interest in an evening walk.

I would keep buying chicken until I figure out that reoccurring dream, because I love fried chicken, especially my mom's. I miss her on chicken night.

It could be a nutrient, as Chick-fil-A soup and lemonade were some of the only things I could eat whilst my mouth and respiratory system were under siege. I wish I could be vegetarian, as when I eat meat I think of the animal's eyes looking at me. I don't know if I ever arrive at the chicken place. I may have gone through the drive-thru, though. It's always like a quest. I also have this recurring dream of going to Moodies/Justin concerts (and the show not materializing in most instances). And so, I will go to concerts as if they were fried chicken.

How's that, Essay Writers?

You'd love a book, Chicken Sunday. It's a kid's book, I highly recommend it. She's a wonderful artist.

I haven't read Chicken Soup for the Soul yet.

But I do like chicken. Especially coq a vin. (I think that's how you spell it) Cock a leeky is good too. But Mom's fried chicken is the "mother lode" of home cooking for me. Tacos are right behind it. Mom's street tacos I can make, I just can't get the hang of frying chicken like she did it. It involved a brown paper bag and shaking the chicken in flour.

I haven't been dreaming much lately, or I don't remember it anyway. Shrug. Probably has something to do with getting more sleep and less stress of summer.

Me mum was the best cook. She only ruined one meal, which we called "chitlins;" and I didn't like cube steak, but everything else was good. Nobody could cook spaghetti as yummy as hers, and when she made lasagne, she left the cheese out of my corner, as I was afraid of Swiss cheese at the time. She also peeled grapes for me, although I never asked her to. The skins were fine, but she seemed to enjoy the service, so I let her. My favorites were tuna-noodle casserole and burritos.

I don't have recurring dreams so much as recurring settings. One is at a house similar to where I used to live in Drayton Plains, and there is a small creek in front surrounded by weeds. Another is a lobby with carpeting that I can't recall right now, but it puts me in the mood of velvet-flocked fleur de lis wallpaper.

I have declared all pasta as toxic.... never touch the stuff. But, it's been a long time since a good tuna casserole... and you're right, moms make the best. Ours involved cream of mushroom soup.

My mom only made lasagna with mozzarella, I'm fond of swiss cheese myself, but it didn't go in lasagna. Ricotta cheese goes.. and I like spinach in mine. Marinara sauce, my whole family can make that standing on our heads... likewise spaghetti, was raised on that. I know I'm a heathen, but I really like blue cheese on spaghetti. And furthermore, I roll it on a fork like an Italian. I had an Italian boyfriend once and he almost fell off his chair when we had spaghetti at the chow hall, I proceeded to eat it correctly. The whole table stared at us placidly rolling pasta, he was a good pal, miss him. Ah.... for a good merlot or cab and home made spaghetti...

I dreamed I was driving the boss' car, ran out of gas, and lost his keys and debit card. I also kept dreaming of spreadsheets.

My beauty sleep was interrupted by work from 1-2amish. Then, I couldn't get back to sleep. It was a blessing, as it turned out my secondary sources hadn't been all that good and I needed four hours for editing instead of the one I had set aside.

Enough about me. #JHQA: What's a good #JHQA QA?

#JHQA do you like bleu cheese or parmesian on your spaghetti putanesca? You see? All I can come up with are lame questions about food.

I had a weird dream that I was in the Marines, and back in A school, but I was the only aviation person in the room (electrician) I think it was watching Magical Mystery Tour that set that one off, the Marine uniform I was wearing looked like the English military people who kept marching through the movie. The dream wasn't so far from reality, when I went through A school in Memphis (we were ALL studying to be aviation electricians) half of the class WAS Marine. Marine aviation is a pretty nice group actually, not as grim as their ground pounding counterparts. Once a nasty old chief peeked in our door and commented "Look at all that Peanut butter and pickle!" referring to the colors of the Marine uniforms. Rude times, but good times, lots of comradely fun.

Good movie that, MMT

The cats disturb my sleep at sunrise, so I give them food, take my BP pills and go back to sleep for three more hours. Bliss. . Much to do today....

I will pretend to powers of interpretation:

lunazure said
I had a weird dream

You thought about Justin in your wildest dreams, so he needn't wonder.

lunazure said
that I was in the Marines, and back in A school

You let him take you back to school so he could learn about the Golden Rule.

lunazure said
, but I was the only aviation person

How many Justin songs have things to do with aviation? "Night Flight," "Silverbird," "Bless the Wings," "fly on the breeze," "We Can Fly," ...

lunazure said
in the room (electrician)

You made it into the room that nobody else can share. You busted through the glass curtain.

lunazure said
I think it was watching Magical Mystery Tour

It looks now like the Magical Mystery Tour could run two weeks during the Justin tour, so you were feeling the pain of my deranged mind.

lunazure said
that set that one off,

It should have set me off, but I'm trying to pretend to be sane, just for the fun of it.

lunazure said

You're channeling Justin's brother.

Sitting here doing brekkie.... contemplating how to respond to that. Or if I should.....

First off I apologize for interpreting any dreams not my own on this thread. While I do have professional training as a Jungian psychologist, I'm not licensed, and besides it's much preferable to gently lead a client (who insists on telling you their dreams, because that's "what you do with psychologists") through "interpretation" generally the dreams mean what YOU finally think they mean, and it's the process that matters, not the final "answer" Most of the time, when people start telling us their dreams about zeppelins going into hangars, trains plunging into caves, baseball bats, swords, smelly fish, clams etc we have hard time not blushing and giggling... one must remain professional.

(I'm just here blabbing with a friend, not being a professional BTW)

Going backwards to top, on the first cruise when Justin mentioned his brother had been (Royal) Navy I about fell off my barstool. 20 years myself in the USN. It's not a job, it's an adventure. And from the lyrics to "My Brother" it's entirely possible Justin's brother was a flyer of some kind. I would loved to have met Brother, as we could have possibly talked shop. Most people would be incredibly bored by EPR transducers, I find them fascinating.

Justin is an "air" sign astrologically, so it makes sense to me he writes about airy things. And it makes good poetry too.

Believe me, Royal Navy aviators wear anything but uniforms like the ones in MMT.

Every tour that fans chase is a MMT IMHO

We ALL have our inner rooms we retreat to in times of stress, or at least I hope so. It's a great coping device for a stressful existence, and yes quite a good place to get in touch with your inner creativeness. Justin's inner room I have the feeling is much weirder than many of us could deal with. Bon Appitite if you manage to "get into that suite"

I'm a teacher. The whole world is one big classroom. Justin's parents were teachers, no mystery there with his writing.

Justin often jumps into my dreams, but a lot of times, it's someone else in "Justin" disguise. I think that is true of many people who dream about Justin.

One of the first lessons we learn in psychology is "beware of projection and transference" (not to mention counter transference) it happens with clients, and then sometimes if you are foolish enough to try and "analyze" your friends and family, you wind up tripping over this effect. It happens. Smile

To the concrete today! Must get out and fix my riding mower! Gonna start pulling the engine apart...... (cringe) wish me luck.

Back to the lasagna dreams (much preferable) my daughter in law is constantly fighting the battle of the fat, and she is also Italian so she has a low calorie lasagna that uses turkey strips rather than pasta strips, and of course involves ricotta cheese. If I ever get around to asking for it, I'll post it here. I was excited.

Alas yesterday after we got done with that rip off play my grandson was doing for summer camp, I never saw pre-schoolers peel out of their costumes so quickly! Anyway I left the building through some back exits I knew about, trailing an armful of red riding hoods, mini petti-pants and tulle rooster tails. And two feathered hats. THEN the rest of the family decided we needed a meal at the local brewpub.... so I went over early got the reservation, and had a beer sampler waiting for them One of the beers tasted like geraniums, but after a few sips, my taste buds were numbed and I couldn't taste geranium anymore thankfully. I've decided if I drink anything in a brew pub from here on out, it's going to be a red or ruby ale, because they are very good. I've more or less given up drinking, as I turn into a jackass, and it's fattening besides.

And even worse, I ate all the fries with my fish and chips.

Geeze the carb and salt intake!!! Blug, did my walk last night. Then had restless sleep, and woke up with the final crescent of the moon just coming up in my eastern facing windows. Really lovely pre-dawn hours.

Yea yesterday was all a bit dream like.

Himself says a lot of things to just press buttons I get the feeling sometimes. Now I have this vision of Don, Melania and Baron all sitting around a Monopoly board after dinner, shaking dice.

I woke up with a big hairy black thing huddled up against me. I looked at my cat from my pillow, she looked at me (never getting up) and we both did our morning stretches together. Probably explains why I was dreaming of tribbles, willies and flat cats...

I know I dream but I can never remember them, they aren't spectacular... just my brain shuffling memories around.

I did dream I bought 14 shares of Boeing stock.

It has occurred to me that my negativity, gossip, filthy vocabulary, and downright vile nature is inviting less than savory bots to post here. I will attempt an attitude adjustment and come back when I get this evil brick that has eaten brain out of my head.

That's pretty amazing, what the bots choose to post. I'd actually really like to SELL my Brother sewing machine, I have no idea what to do with it.

If you need one leslee, it's yours. But you cannot leave it sitting by the side of the road. Only if you're settled can you have it. I'm attached to my old Singer....

That's mighty kind of you. Thank you, but I don't have time in my life for sewing right now. My favorite was a White. I used to describe it as "sturdy" and "straight-sew." It did nothing fancy, but it was 100% reliable. I never had problems with the tension. I would dream up designs on my evening walks and sew a new outfit before going in to work.

I worked at a community college in the mornings, and one girl actually said she stopped by the lounge every day to see what I was wearing. She was a nice person, genuine. Normally, I am suspicious of kindnesses, but she was quite comfortable saying nice things about people all the time. I was in the lounge because I was a mere adjunct with gaps in my schedule. Despite lobbying from colleagues, the school never got around to giving me an office so I could tutor during downtime. So, I took the lounge as my unofficial office because, unlike a real office, it had a window and vending machines.

I got rid of the beloved White because I was under pressure to move to the campus of my other job, where the landlady said my furnished place had two sewing machines. She didn't tell me one was totally unusable and the other was very gummed up and would leave black streaks on anything one tried to sew. I also had an epiphany around that time that I was dressing like a peacock and I needed to tone it down.

Vectoring ever so minutely back on-topic, last night was my turn to clean the church. I was ill; my body does not like to do all-nighters anymore. I started out pounding on the piano. I had the place to myself. I'm so tired of mamsy-pamsy playing softer than the kids and practicing where the neighbors can't hear. I figured the church was soundproof, so I put the forte pedal to the metal and played some hymns as fast as I could go. I did that in the next room with a piano, too.

Then, every time I bent over, I wanted to heave and pass out. So, I slept on a pew. I slept on the sofa in the mother's room. That sofa was so soft, I could live there. I bent over to pick up some scraps under a table and woke up. I finally left a note for the guy who was going to finish up tomorrow. I was going to give him a nice surprise and have everything done, but I couldn't bring myself to even think of pushing a vacuum.

So, when I had an opportunity to take a nap today, I drifted off wondering why I'm so sick all the time anymore. The answer came, "The truth you might be running from is so small, but it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day." Yes, I believe I am suffering dissonance, as explained here.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

Though worn out, I do believe it is one of the best paragraphs ever written. I was going to let the silence of my absence here speak my mind and my quest for peace, but my OCD called me back.
