Again with the dreams

So I dreamt about working at Nashua again... What the hell does this mean? Only this time in the dream, they were going through a major restructuring, both in building and management. I was wandering through the labels building, people all around me working, and there I am, the only person not working, or overseeing some aspect of construction or remodeling. Eventually this woman comes up to me and asks me where I'm supposed to be working but I don't know what to tell her, but she's one of those people that, in spite of her authority, you just want to piss her off. So I just cocked a little half-smile, a-la Han Solo vs. Princess Leia, and tell her that I've been in the bathroom. I actually HAD just come from the bathroom, where I had somehow gotten my foot stuck in the toilet, but that's not really relevant. I hope. So, she's wanting to know where I'm supposed to be, and I'm about to tell her that I haven't actually been to see Jose (the shift supervisor) to get my assignment yet (even though the shift started like 3 hours before), when Jose comes up some stairs or something and sees me there. He looks at her, then looks at me for about 5 seconds, then tells me to come with him. Things are fuzzy after that.

The only other part I remember is driving in some kind of sports car with Frank Murphy from the Mark and Kim and Frank show on Star 102.1 in the morning. Granted, I've never seen the man to know what he looks like, but my brain came up with something. He was tall, brownish hair, and instead of having a beard like I've heard he has, he had just an outline around his jaw. I was driving the car, as I remember hearing that Frank likes to be driven. I remember turning a corner at a light, and then we were walking side by side down the road... Seemed normal at the time. And I saw a dead owl on the side of the road. That felt significant. Oddly enough, I almost mistook it for a small penguin due to its white belly, even though the rest of it was brown.

Weird stuff.

Wrist

Went to the doctor the other day for my 3 month follow up and told him my left wrist was acting up again. It's been bothering me for the past year and a half (or so). When it does, I can't bend it too far or put pressure on it without it hurting. For example, if I'm sitting on the floor, I can't use it to push myself up because it feels like its going to collapse under me when I do.

The doctor is sending me to get an MRI; he thinks I might have torn a ligament in it at some point. I was supposed to have gotten an MRI a year ago, but I couldn't make the appointment for whatever reason and never rescheduled it. He also had me get another wrist brace for it, since my daughter lost the last one I had. I can't believe how much they cost... Was almost $60 for the new brace. I saw they had the type of brace I had before, that thing was like $80, but the doctor had given me that one... Gotta see if I can get DeAnne to find my old one so I can return this new one at least.

Finally got the bathroom finished painted and the miscellaneous bars and hooks put up. Now if I could just find the screws for the outlet and switch covers it'd be completely done.
