Day one-hundred-thirty-nine

Yesterday's post had the single largest number of readers for a single post in the now one-hundred-thirty-nine days I've been writing this blog. Would that I could write like that more often.

…

I had a very strange dream last night.

I'm at church. I'm called over to help someone in the far west parking lot, which is at the far end of the very next block from the church. When I get there, I find a small girl, maybe two years old. Something is wrong with her, because she is laying on a table, frozen in a strange sort of twisted but splayed position, like a doll with inarticulate limbs. I take her in my arms, and everyone seems to think she is dead. Suddenly, her whole body seems to relax and she begins moving. All is well. The dream ends.

I have no idea where this dream came from, what it means, or if it even has any meaning at all. I don't often have dreams so vivid that I remember them so clearly. Truth be told, the dreams I remember tend to run to the mundane, and there aren't many that are memorable.

I want to avoid making anything out of it that isn't appropriate. I don't want to attach some significance to it that doesn't have, as though it were portentous. It could be just a very unusual dream.

…

In an abrupt transition to more mundane matters, it's been a fairly quiet day here at work. There's not too much to do; in fact, almost all of what was due today was already gone by the time my shift began. Fortunately, that left us to get a jump on tomorrow, which had many things due.

We had our monthly meeting today, which coupled with our first break immediately afterward, meant that we didn't get any work done for nearly forty minutes. They held the employee raffle as a award for our continued safety record. Plus, we had sundaes.

I had forgotten this coming Monday is Memorial Day. We've got a three-day weekend coming up! Since everyone is home, we'll probably just barbecue. Carne Asada is coming.

I realize that today's post presents two extremes, but sometimes that's the way things to. I'd like to write more like yesterday, but those posts are pretty few and far between.
