Being Alice: Invisible Sun

I face the day with my head caved in,
Looking like something that the cat brought in.


So, yeah. A song lyric describes my morning beautifully.
My boss actually called to make sure I was doing okay. I'd called my doctor's office, but they were so booked they couldn't even take a same day appointment. But I did speak to a very sweet, concerned nurse. She estimated that I might have a mild concussion (Grade 2). She said I probably could just take care of myself at home, and if I really started feeling awful, call back to see if they have a spot open later this afternoon. She also said that my seizure threshold has lowered, and if I do have a seizure, to monitor my post-ictal behavior and see if I can get a friend to come over and make sure I'm all right. I may already have seized. My memory's a little fuzzy. I certainly feel like I've had a complex partial.

I'll be fine; I doubt I'll need to call the doctor's office. Nice that they care like that to give me detailed advice, though.

Aw, I'm sorry you're feeling like crap. I hope you feel better!

I had a dream about you last night (I think it's because I replied to one of your entries right before I went to bed). I dreamt that we both lived in this apartment high rise and we were taking the elevator to our apartments. You were naked like you had just got out of the shower or something. You were dripping wet and holding a towel in front of you. You got into the elevator first and then I got in and we were both standing there with all of these black-suited business people who didn't seem to notice the fact that you had no clothes on. In fact, you didn't seem to care either. I didn't really care, but I was suprised that no one was commenting on it. When we got to the top floor we got off the elevator and you asked me to come to your place and eat glazed doughnuts. I said, sure, even though I had never been to your place before. So we went to your place, watched TV and ate doughnuts...some how during all of this you had gotten dress. And that was the end of the dream. Now I have a doughnut craving!

Wow. I'd love to find someone who could analyze and interpret that! But I think that it means you're very comfortable with me and feel that I am comfortable with you: Me being naked, even with a towel (vulnerable and open), and then casually inviting you to my house to eat comfort junk food when you've never been (casual and comforting)... plus other people in your dream probably representing parts of you, not noticing the naked person... I think those are all signs that if you and I meet in person, we'd probably be like old friends.

Ooh...interesting analysis! That feels right. Who knows, maybe some day we WILL meet in person and eat doughnuts and go skinny dipping!
