On weekend mornings I always seem to wake up early, but of course this morning my alarm clock woke me up. I was dreaming that Toque McToque had bought me a bunch of groceries, and I was trying to get to my office to write her a check. I was climbing up some outside stairs carrying my Hugimal cat Frankie and wondering why Toque had bought me over $100 of groceries I hadn't asked for. How random - I haven't seen Toque in years, but maybe my brain remembered that her birthday is in a few days.
I worked on campus today, and as I was going into my building, a male cardinal flew down right by me and chirped at me. He was all fluffy because it was so cold out. At lunch I walked with Hardingfele, but it was so cold out that we made it shorter than usual. Then I had a meeting, and I was trying to find a guy named Andy, who is my representative (I'm the alternate), and I found a guy who looked like his description who also seemed familiar, and I said, "Are you Andy?" Then I realized he was a guy who works in my building, so of course I already knew he was Andy. I said, "I'm your alternate," and he said, "No, here's my alternate," and he gestured at the woman sitting next to him, so I must have needed to find another Andy with a beard and brown hair. I looked around, and who should I see but Handy Woman, another former coworker (like Toque McToque) whom I hadn't seen in a long time. We sat together, and she showed me a video of her granddaughter, whose name is Latin for Willow. I've heard of plenty of girls named Willow, but this is the first Salix I've heard of. Not sure if there was a connection between seeing Handy Woman and my dream about Toque McToque, since they both involved old coworkers, but it's probably just a coincidence. Oh, and I never did find the other Andy.
In the evening Travalon and I went to the East Side Club to watch the Packers play the Eagles. At halftime neither team had scored, but then the Eagles got a field goal. In the fourth quarter the Eagles got a touchdown, so we left and went to Bong Road to see if there were any Northern Lights. We saw a little activity, but the pictures my phone took just look like clouds. I thought there was supposed to be a lot of activity tonight, but on social media I saw it's actually tomorrow night. We were listening to the Packers in the car, and they did score a touchdown, but just as we got home and turned on the TV, they missed a field goal that would have tied up the game and sent them into overtime. Still, 10-7 isn't a bad loss.
Travalon wanted me to post these images of the video game he was playing yesterday (Mike Tyson Punch Out by Nintendo) while I was at my drum lesson. The first level is Glass Joe, and he said, "Even you could punch him out!"
