Things without Suck... day 2

Having a REAL dream that lasted all night long about living in a small town with a tall, thin, blond haired woman, who, while never a physical beauty outwardly, was shining from the inward outward. We had two little girls, twins, as cute as could be, and they both wore blue dresses... the sort that flare out at the bottom, so you can see the petticoats underneath. I can see the two of them playing tag in the yard, running and laughing and screaming "no fair!" at each other, because that is what five year old children do.

We lived in a tiny white clapboard house that sat on a dirt road at the edge of town. There were mountains off in the distance, about five or six miles away... maybe ten. The morning I dreamed of we were just sitting on our porch swing, watching the day begin and drinking our tea and just being happy while our babies ran like hooligans out in the yard. There was a large maple tree who shaded us from the sun, which was pretty strong for even that early in the day.

I worked at a sawmill, pushing papers and fixing machinery. I never saw the bossman, so maybe it was me. That would have been cool. Not much happened that day, just another normal day of figuring figures at the desk. Business must have been slow because that part of the dream came and went like a wind blown grocery sack.

A thing that does not suck is a dream of life and love, a dream where one entire day is lived in 8 hours and the memories carry on forever and every.

my brain is tired

It was a day full of technical challenges and emails asking for knowledge today. Now, I'm not officially anything but a cell phone specialist, doing the job of making sure numbers move in and numbers move out with the least conflict. Sometimes, though, it feels like if I wasn't there, everyone's brain would just deflate until I showed back up. Pure Ego. Yeah, it feels good to be the "go to guy" and "the Guru". But it is tiring, especially when you haven't had that level of stress in many a year.

And it's a good thing. It does not suck. It shows that I still have fairly good working cognitive functions and am still pretty good at working up outside the box solutions to problems nobody has encountered yet. It is something that has bugged me of lately, that I may be losing that along with bits of my memory. Tain't so, McGee.

My daily list of things that don't suck:( only 7 of them today )

Yeah, I'm getting preachy. So, it's time to stop for now. Besides... my brain is still tired. Have a wonderful night, a better tomorrow and stay safe and dry wherever you are.
