 I took last week off from doing my normal Sunday routine. We had gone to Barrie Pride on Saturday and that was pretty much the whole day, so Sunday was for working on the house. We got Sunny's desk moved to the living room, which was the first step in getting the room all done. Yesterday, I finally ripped up the last of the carpet from the hallway, so not I probably have 1 day left of putting down flooring and then I can do all the base boards. We'll see if I get any of that done today. It's father's day and I kind of just want a day to chill.

Last night I had more weird dreams. The plot was something along the lines of trying to get something from one place to another without the "bad guys" getting it. I have no idea what it was. The strange part was that we were at Sunny's bio-dad's fictional house. There was a decoy group taking the thing, but in actuality, bio and I were taking it on dirt bikes instead. It was snowing and cold. We did come across a secret pot growing operation on the way.

I'm not sure if we succeeded in our plan, but we ended up at some chalet or something, up in the mountains. Sunny was there and a bunch of people were hanging out on couches in a large room with a fireplace. I was sitting next to Sunny's friend/coworker Stacey. We were talking about relationships and stuff, but I don't remember what. It's weird because I haven't seen her in over a decade and I don't really interact with her on the internet. More often than not, I forget that she actually works with Sunny.

So yeah, the two people my dream mostly focused on are people that I haven't really interacted with in YEARS. I'd say that bio-dad-in-law popped up because of father's day, but I actually dreamed about him the other night too. Just weird.

In real life news, I saw Wonder Woman again last night. The first time we saw it was at the drive in, so I wanted to see it again in the theater so I could get the full effect of the visuals. It occurred to me that I think I have an overly emotional reaction to strong women movies. They really affect me and that seems odd to me. I've traditionally rationalized it that all the action movies and comics about men are just so fucking over done that stories about women are just new stories, but I think it's more than that. I'm not sure I can rationalize it. I just know that I generally cry at least once whenever I watch them.

The new Lorde album is out on Spotify. I had heard Green Room and initially I really didn't like it, but I noticed over time that it really grew on me. On my first listen to the full album, I only REALLY liked Green Room and Sober II, so I'm wondering if more of it will grow on me. 

Oh, last thing, since I took a new role last April, my new boss said I'd be brought over to the team laterally, but then get moved up to a higher role. I've been kind of untrusting about that because my last role kept promising that for three years and never actually did anything to act on it until I told them I was leaving. But, after the last talk I had with my boss, it looks like I'm starting to move into a software architect role. The lame part is that they apparently only do moves like this in October, so I won't officially have the title until then, but what I'm actually doing at work is moving in that direction. So I am actually starting to trust that it will happen.

It's Sunday and for me, that's my do all the non-work thinking day. My general routine for Sundays is to make some coffee and grab something to keep my blood sugar up, then go to my office and put on some good music. I generally start with Facebook and Titter while I wake my brain up.

Next, I check out my Patreon feed. I have four people I give $1 to every month, but they make posts faster than I can keep up during the week, so I read them all on Sunday. I used to make my own Patreon posts every Sunday, but I've more or less let mine die since finishing my book. Instead, I was making livejournal posts, but then livejournal went and got really sketchy. I didn't want to accept their new terms, so I never logged in again. Which brings me to Dreamwidth. I guess I'll be posting here instead even though I don't know many people on this platform. I was on livejournal for over 15 years, so it's weird going somewhere else, but also nice to have a fresh start.

Once my update is done, I'll actually work on my book. Right now, that's mostly sending out query letters to literary agents. So far I have about four rejections, which I think is a good start.

As for my actual update, things have been busy but quiet. We went to Jasper, AB for a vacation. I'd never been to Alberta and Sunny hadn't been there since she was like four. We flew into Calgary and had dinner with my manager and a few of my team members, which was nice. We also hung out with one of my amazing friends who I met though work, although we don't work together anymore. We'd never met in person, so it was really surreal to hear her voice coming out of her face. She and her boyfriend joined Sunny and me and we all drove to Jasper. It was beautiful out there. I really had a wonderful time. I also drank quite a lot, which i have to admit, I enjoyed. 

Oddly, the night before last, I had a dream about her. She had gotten a house on the beach and I would often go over and visit. She put up a hook by the door and hung a bathrobe on it, so when I came over, I could put on the bathrobe and then go drink coffee on the porch overlooking the water. I love water.

Sunny and I also went to a bbq with some of my old work friends and then this past Friday went to karaoke with the same group of people. It was not Sunny's thing. It was really cool that she came though. I worked with those people for 6 years and this is the first time she's come out to karaoke. 

Last night, while Sunny was working, Wes and I went across the street to the park and spent a little time spinning some fire staff. He's still pretty intimidated by the fire, so thought it would make sense for us to just get comfortable with it alone before spinning fire in public again. He definitely became more comfortable over time, so I was glad to see that.

Okay, time to get to writing.

I don't often remember dreams. I'm not sure if it's because of my sleep apnea or some other unrelated reason, but it's just something that rarely happens. These past few weeks though, I've just had a ton of dreams.
Last night, I dreamed that a friend of mine got a house on the water somewhere. Wherever it was, it was close enough for me to come over and visit, so I did a lot. Right inside the door, she put up a hook for me a hung a bathrobe there. So when I would come over, I'd put on the bathrobe and get a cup of coffee and sit on the porch. I'd drink my coffee and look out at the water.
