My 7 Cups Dream Journal
Entry 1: The Boxes of Cats
It was a little strange but what I remember most is visiting a house that was in my old neighborhood that I’d recently moved from (it really wasn’t, so dream logic) but I came back to collect something I left or my mother left.
It was very sad and the people who were there now were sort of okay with me wandering around and looking. I kept noticing the signs that I’d once lived there (painted over places that still revealed chipped paint and stuff I recognized from my apartment).
Then I looked beneath a couch or table and found boxes full of kittens. Two boxes were full of meowing kittens in water that the new home owners had no idea were there, and one more box held a very dead cat that was an older one from a previous litter. All of the kittens were starving without their mother and I knew that it was the reason why the older one passed.
The new owners suddenly smelled the dead cat and I took it upon myself to get rid of it. When I came back an hour later all of the kittens were gone, and when I was walking past another house I could see all the kittens. They’d all grown up into adult cats!
I dreamt that I was hanging out with my old friend group at my ex friend's house on a holiday, maybe Halloween. Things were okay, and in the middle of playing games I found myself in a strange improv classroom with strangers. It wasn’t comfortable because I’d just been at a sleepover and didn’t have any shoes on.
I watched a teacher talk the students through improv skits before he told me I was next.
I really didn’t want to but did it anyway, and I started my skit. I was standing in front of a large lamp that would turn on once I spread my arms- I was an angry sun who wasn’t being appreciated over all the effort it took to warm the earth and humans. So I’d stomp off and say aloud that it would be much more impressive sounding if I had shoes on.
It's okay that you didn't go today and regrouped instead.
It sounds like you got some solid work done outside. That is a good check mark for the day.
I do hope that you can get some more solid food. We are going to have some roasted sweet potatoes over brown rice tomorrow for dinner. Keep it simple and healthy.
Good luck with the job developer meeting. Focus on some online jobs maybe. There are some out there which would work. You are going to find something eventually. I promise.
I got a frozen lasagna for dinner that I can have tonight and on the weekend. I can make some chicken and steam vegetables too, especially if I focus on doing dishes starting tomorrow so I can cook more.
The Friday chores were exhausting; cleaning the cans with bleach and a hose while it was so windy made it even worse but I finished it.
The meeting with my job developer was okay. I found a nearby office job that is in my city, plus it looked like I would be a good fit. I discussed it with her, and she had me bcc her on the email I had to send for the position to apply.
My job developer gave me feedback about how my email and cover letter sound too similar and my cover letter wasn’t formatted properly. she said she’d send me some examples so I can get more practice. It was embarrassing but I need to do better.
We set up another appointment for next week on Monday. In my application I said that I could be available for interviews during the weekday on mornings, so I’ve got that to keep my eyes open for too.
I am glad that you found a job that looks like a good fit. Don't worry about the formatting of the cover letter and the resume. It ALWAYS takes a second pair of eyes (or a third or fourth). You haven't put a bunch of them together before. You are going to do great in sending something in. You are very detail oriented which makes you a nice fit for any office.
The food sounds good too. We had our sweet potatoes and rice tonight. They were good. I flavored the roasted sweet potatoes with some lime so they weren't too sweet. But sweet potatoes are a bear to cut. You have to aim for thin ones and have a sharp knife.@integrityblues
That’s good. I’m glad your sweet potatoes and rice were good. My lasagna was okay for frozen.
I’m still very worn out from yesterday, so I did lots of resting.
Hoping that you had a good day today. Mine was rough but I am hoping that a good sleep tonight will set things right. @integrityblues
I’m sorry your day was rough. Sleep should help.
I went to sleep last night with a headache that continued after I woke up this morning. It took me forever to do the little I’d planned. I’d made my bed, took a shower, then went on a walk after my hair was dry.
Still have the headache so I took more Tylenol and I’m going to sleep early. I just want to be ready for my job development appointment.
I hope that appointment goes really well for you. I have been dealing with evening headaches myself. They are no fun. May we both be headache free tomorrow. @integrityblues
My appointment was okay. My job developer showed me how to make my cover letter better, then suggested I send another email to the job I applied to on Friday while explaining I’d accidentally sent the wrong one.
I applied to two other job leads she sent me even though I don’t feel great about them.
My head is much better than yesterday, so I’m hoping that things will continue to get better.
I hope your headaches get smaller and less annoying.
Glad to hear that you moved forward on the job stuff. Each time you are learning new things about how to do this.
I am also glad to hear that your headaches are better. Mine are tension based and basically hitting every night at the moment. But they are okay during the day so I can function. @integrityblues
