I haven't dreamed/remembered dreaming in a long time. The last time I remembered a dream well enough to write about it was January 2021 so that's.... yeah, a while. It's too bad because I love my dreams, even when they're creepy or violent or something that other people might find disturbing. I never don't lucid dream (or if I do, I don't recall them--this has been true my whole life), so I can sit back and just enjoy the weirdness. Because I know it's a dream. It's nice.
Last night's dream, though... I was getting ready to travel internationally with some friends while also wrapping up a big conference event thing. I was constantly surrounded by people either needing things from me or providing things for me and it was busy and a little stressful and I was barely keeping everything under control but I was keeping it under control and it felt so incredibly good that I literally cried when I woke up this morning. I've cried once since getting out of bed and now I'm crying again just writing about it.
It's not even 9:30am and I've cried three times today.
I have a Zoom thing this afternoon that will provide some distraction. That's good. I'm so very tired and weary of this life.
Have a snippet from Hellbent.

Zhu Hong snorted.
“The free labor isn’t enough?”
Zhao Yunlan’s head shot up.
“Pretty sure what I do in my free time is my own fucking business,” he snapped at her.
Immediate regret forced an embarrassingly auntie-like tsk through his teeth. Zhu Hong’s cheeks flushed and she returned her grim focus to the fender. He breathed in an apologetic hiss through his teeth but Zhu Hong didn’t even look up.
“Um,” he started.
“Two fresh cranberry almond scones waiting for me tomorrow when I get here at 10,” she interrupted.
“Yep.”
