Do you have dream paralysis? That’s what I think I have.

Whatever the dream is, and there are a variety of situations, but I’m ‘stuck’. I’m dreaming but I can’t move.

I strain to get free and move but can’t break free.

At the end of the dream I wake up, usually wrapped up in bedsheets and physically aching from trying to unbind myself.

As an example, I had a dream where I was on a reality TV show. The point was to get from point A to point B. I was really struggling to crawl to point B. Then I saw my body on the floor being attended to by an EMT. Seeing my body with the EMT triggered something and I woke up as I was physically stepping out of the bed in real life.

dear god, how else do you wipe your butt?

Some kind of general pain suppression.

You could turn it off, if you’re into that and sometimes pain let’s you know there might be a problem, but the endless agony people go through would end.

Starbucks. They moved into my neighborhood and put a bunch of small business owners (cafes) out of business including one owned by a very good friend.

Nestle. obvs

I thought a ‘concierge program’ was similar to OneMedical. You pay an annual fee, have a PCP, but the PCP doesn’t typically do much besides refer you to specialists, give advice, or prescribe meds.

I felt like that last week at the farmer’s market. I hate it.

I think we could all chill

My mother.

She was returning something on a slow night at Best Buy.

We did not make it past the tween greeter at the front door before she unleashed!

Mom went off. The way she was talking, you would think he, personally, did something to harm her. This kid was standing there, shrinking away, with what looked like his girlfriend standing next to him. He was a door greeter, had no control or decisive role in any way.

Of course, she called a manager.

I feel real bad for that kid but love embarrassing my mother by recounting that true tale to others.

That sounds so great. Do you know the device’s product name? Which library do you get this from? I’d like to try it out in my library.

Talking post-Sesame Street/Mister Rogers/Electric Co. tunes

Circa 1983 on my first plane ride alone, aged about 10, from CA to GA, headphones plugged into the armrest with the ashtray inside: ‘The Tide Is High’ by Blondie was the first ‘grown-up’ song I recall that grabbed me.
