Less sick, more stressed

October 24, 2011 by Rashid

I had a very fitful rest last night.  I kept waking up, tossing and turning.

I dreamed that I was at a very small Best Buy.  Freddy Kruger was there (!) and I wasn’t afraid of him.  It was sorta like “Oh, Freddy.  You’re a has-been.  Go away.”

As I was leaving the Best Buy, which was adjacent to a hotel lobby, I ran into my friend Sharnell who was on her way to an Omega function with a bunch of other people.  She was wearing what seemed to be an Omega sweetheart tiki.  I gave her a hard time about it, but then let her pass.  Hell, clearly I was just jealous.  lol

I had a bad weekend because I was sick and because I found out my roommate would be leaving.  Today.  At 5pm.  So now I have to find somebody.  This is not what I needed in the final days of preparation for these novels dropping.

But the good news is I feel a lot less sick.  I think I “broke” whatever cold I had yesterday when I slept the day away.

I’m making a point to blog every day now, btw.  If I’m going to take over the world again, it starts here.

I don’t want to work a traditional full-time job anymore, although I really, really like the one I have and do a good job at it.  I just think ultimately, who I was born to be is a novelist.

Not much else to say about it.
