Today is my writing day. Hurray and yay. Since I decided to write all day long, naturally, all other things that need my attention came up right away. So, I cleaned the office – well, I needed a clean and neat space where I can comfortable spend all day long writing.  Of course, it was Alex’s office and it wasn’t comfortable for writing anyway and I ended up cleaning my room as well. Then it was too hot. I needed some appropriate clothes and it turned out to be an excuse to go through my boxes of old clothes trying on everything I found. Ok, I ended up wearing what I was originally wearing. Then laundry… Yes, it needed to be done today. Thank goodness it’s too hot for the yard work because that probably couldn’t wait either. It’s great to have some plans – everything else gets done much faster. I’d procrastinate for years avoiding cleaning Alex’s office…  I remember it worked the same way when I had a lot of homework or exams.  Well, I am finally here, in my office, with a fan behind me, all windows open, comfortable chair, coffee. Wait a second, I forgot to eat… Eh, whatever, I needed to drop a few pounds anyway. I’ll just continue writing.

First and foremost: last night’s dreams. It’s Monday. Moreover, it’s my last Monday when I can sleep till noon because my new job starts next week. It’s my last week of sleeping till noon because who knows when I’ll ever have this kind of chance again. So, back to my dreams… I mixed dates and was supposed to be at work this Monday. It took me a while to get ready. I took a bike to work and was in the office by 3pm. Well, no one specified the exact time, right? I brought my bike to the office since I didn’t have a bike lock and was afraid to leave it on the parking lot. I forgot my pants and my bike shorts looked like underwear. I forgot to bring everything I was supposed to bring – I don’t remember the exact details, but I was supposed to bring some filled out forms. Instead I for some reason brought my beach bag with sunscreen and a towel. Late, not looking appropriately and with a bike I still came to the office. I rejected the offered cube taking a huge sofa instead motivating that with my need of frequent naps during a day. I covered my lack of pants with a blanket and sat on the sofa introducing myself to the team members. Then someone gave me a book with work materials to help me get started, but I was less than interested and asked to take me to the kitchen, so I can evaluate their food choices. I felt like they all should hate me for such behavior, but everyone was thrilled to see me and to have me there. As soon as I was done with checking out the kitchen it was already time to go home. No wonder since I came at 3pm.
