I had a dream last night where I was taking.... . .<br /><br />I had a dream last night where I was taking care of a small tree which was becoming progressively more damaged, and I would work constantly to try and repair it. Every now and then I would be forced to take a short break due to exhaustion, but it was never as in good of shape as it was before the last break. And after each break was over, it was in much worse shape, and I had to go about repairing it again... during some breaks, I asked others for help, but the only results were either refusal or useless commentary intended to be "advice". Later in the dream, things started getting ever more ridiculous; at the very end, the tree had its branches broken short to a few inches, the lower half of the trunk and roots had vanished entirely, and it was planted upside-down. (No, I didn't do any of those things, they just happened on their own somehow when I wasn't looking.)<br /><br />Latest significant event in real life - temperature's been 35-40 degrees F, furnace is broken, repair company won't fix furnace without apartment manager's permission, manager has been balking at granting permission for days, blah blah blah technical and legal complications out the wazoo. Will be buying a space heater tomorrow because I don't know when this will be resolved, even though I probably can't really afford the time or money to do so.<br /><br />"Trying" isn't good enough when nobody and nothing will cooperate.<br /><br />(this message was composed and edited over a period of nearly 2 hours during "downtime" moments while I was working online. This is normal for longer messages.)<br /><br />Okay, no more hijacking your blog.Not Menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-4982819346669539782009-11-13T00:35:26.289-05:002009-11-13T00:35:26.289-05:00Not Me - You can do something about it. I don'...Not Me - You can do something about it. I don't know you, I don't know your situation or disadvantages, but I believe it's possible for <i>anyone</i> with a small amount of voluntary motor control to improve their life. If you have what it takes to complain on my blog, you have what it takes to form a little more human connection or joie de vivre than you've got now.
