Strange Dreams again

So I had another really interesting dream last night. This guy from high school who is one of my abandoned friends, myself and Ellen Page from Juno were at some sort of seaside resort where it was freezing out. For some reason, we disrobed and started swimming naked down this narrow river together trying to get somewhere in a certain amount of time. There was snow all along the banks of the river and there were lots of snow-covered trees in the distance. It was really cold and Ellen kept bumping into me as we were all talking about life as we swam. At one point we got out of the river and Ellen told my friend he was too hairy to continue with us, so we all dried off and just her and I continued down the river.

Sadly, the dream ended. I have no idea what caused me to dream this!

The Icky Cold

So last Monday, I'm feeling great! And that all changed almost in an instant. Tuesday morning I felt horrible and called in sick. Same thing for Wednesday. I thought I was getting better so Thursday I went in with nothing more than a cough which eventually turned into a horrible running nose-congestion nightmare by afternoon. I had Friday off, but had to call in Saturday morning to skip work as well. Finally, today I'm better.

I spent much of the time bundled up in huge fuzzy duck slippers which may grandpa once owned. They are SO warm and cozy and look absolutely silly. I also had on a huge hoody, fuzzy gloves and pink leopard print pajamas. It was a fashion disaster, but it was so warm and helped me alot in getting over the sickies.

On the bright side, I got lots of rest while I was sick. I also lost 4 pounds due to not really wanting to eat while being sick. Conveniently, I also had a PS2 in my room of sickness and mastered the Hard level of Guitar Hero while I was sick as well. It was kind of weird as I would play the notes and see them falling in my head for a couple of those days when I wasn't playing.

And today I came into work from all the ickiness and was greeted by a wonderful Easter Care package!!! I squeed several times and I think I made myself sick on the malted milk balls and yummy chocolate. Thank you, Monica! You are the best sweetie ever! It is so nice to know that someone is thinking of you when you are feeling down and even though I was sick all those days, I felt so much care and love!

Wonderful Times

So I've been negligent in my blogging lately. Bad Colleen!

A couple weeks back I got to hang out with Monica and friends for another weekend extravaganza of bliss and awesomeness. The first evening, we went out to a wonderful dinner at Red Lobster (<3 Seafood), and then navigated our way through the perilous slushy snow roads to back home for a relaxing evening.

The next day was all about Monica. It pretty much was a wonderful day followed by an even more wonderful evening and party/reception at her place! Laura made the best most amazing Companion Cube cake and along with the awesome Mexican dinner, the evening was spent creating games, playing Wii, and eating the cake which was probably the best cake I've ever eaten ever.

The final day was spent out and about seeing Monica's awesome mom, followed by a quiet time back at home and a great night in. Monica's mom is really so sweet and wonderful. I can totally see where she gets everything good in her! It was very sad to have to head back home, but I know that it won't be long again!

Life has been really good to me lately. The past weeks have reminded me of how lucky and blessed I am. I also have been sticking to my diet very well. I also did some revisions of my book outline that will make it go in some more intriguing directions. And I also renamed some of the characters which had rather cheesy names.

Also, it looks like I'm going to have to bow out of my therapy sessions with the new doctor. The visits are becoming more expensive and she's not a psychiatrist--just a counsellor with a social working degree. On top of that, my homework for my next visit was to "divide up the chores around the house". Lovely. I just paid $150 for someone to tell me to split the work around the house. Sadly, my insurance sucks and the deductible is like $2000 before they start paying for anything.
