asmanydogsaspossibleDreamed about folks from high school, weirdly. It's been a pretty long time since that's happened. I used to dream about Kendall all the time a decade ago, but that has basically stopped. In the dream Kendall had done some background vocals on a japanese rock/pop album that was being released and there were promotional stickers. I bought some of the stickers and she seemed pleased and maybe a little touched that I was supporting her. At some point I was in a van with a bunch of people from high school including Tara, Lauren, and Kendall. Kendall was commenting on my clothes, being a bit judgemental, saying I should dress more professionally. I had on a shirt with a print of a wolf and some autumn trees; a rather striking and beautiful print. I looked at Kendall with shock on my face, exclaiming that there was no fucking way I was gonna remove this remarkable and amazing print and if anyone else has a problem with it they can shut their soulless trap. Felt good to say that. Kendall actually seemed to be a little impressed with my confidence and she backed off. Too bad I never had that confidence back in the day.
I did not sleep much last night. Just enough to have that dream, but it was very broken sleep. This happens sometimes. Despite that I actually don't feel like complete shit this morning. Who knew.
Carter asked for 100 dollars extra for the electricity bill, which is fine. Though I asked if he noticed that I was already sending him 50 extra each month. I wonder if that came across as me acting like I didn’t want to give him the 100. Oh well. I made sure he knew it didn’t bother me and I sent it to him. It’s going to be pretty expensive the next couple of months. Next week is going to be in the teens all week. That’s unusually cold for this area and they’ve already been jacking up energy prices and putting caps on the thermostat. We have it set to 62 and they keep remotely lowering it to 60 due to strain on their system, I guess. I actually don’t have any complaints about this. I legit love a cold house (within reason). I spent the last decade in frigid winters with little to no heating so I’m used to it, I know how to dress, and I’ve come to enjoy the cold. Of course I don’t want the house to be 32 degrees, but 60 is plenty fine. I don’t even open the vent in my room so it stays five to ten degrees colder than the rest of the house. My room is on the second floor so the heat rises, anyway. Probably good for insulation and keeping the bill down. My room is currently 54 degrees. Fuckin’ love it, man. What I don’t love is when its 100 degrees. Screw that noise. Summer is hell.
I chose a doctor! Wow! First time I've had a doctor in like a decade. Now I actually have to make an appointment, augh. Augh. But I'm going to do it. I need to do some basic cancer screenings and all the other basic shit people my age are supposed to do.

Might be a blizzard this weekend. I'll believe it when I see it. But more reason to get my work done and shipped before this weekend, haha.
Painting a dog in a birthday hat and suit. Had on a talk by a Buddhist nun, Gen Kelsang Gomlam. She mostly talked about death and being a hospice nurse. My lunch was a large raw carrot, a chunk of unsweetened baker’s chocolate, the last of a cup of hot coffee, and a can of sardines with old bay spinkled on them.I chose a doctor! Wow!
