Little Things that Irk You 4Ever

Honestly I always thought your RL name was Chris.

[kryss]

Yeah I get that a lot.

[Brad]

Lots of people think my name is Brad. It's my own fault really I suppose.

[charlesr]

Lots of people think I'm a cool 2D dancing machine, but everyone am eventually disappoint.

A fez cannot exist in 2 dimensions.

I've been rotten with a cold for a few days. Took a nap this afternoon to try to help get over it and I had a dream of an insane night out the likes of which I haven't seen since my early 20s. I'm now exhausted.

[Brad]

Also have a cold but unable to have a nap at the moment. Head fuzzy.

Taking vitamins and eating healthy just to try and prevent me getting a bug

Was it like the vid for "smack my bitch up"?

I dreamt there was a nuke going off. The dream ended as the blast wave hit, but I didn't wake up. Just changed to something completely different.

On the plus side, haven't had a cold since 2012.

It wasn't far off in terms of feel.

[charlesr]

People would pay good money for something like that. You got it for free. Mega. (or not)

I suspect it's part of some subconscious midlife crisis I'm having. Pretty much every dream I've had in the last two weeks has been an incredibly vivid account of what my life would have been like had I taken a different turn, each dream showing a different path. In last night's dream I ended up marrying an old friend in a joke that went too far and we actually ended up really happy. The night before, something had happened my wife (my real actual wife) and I was bringing up my girls alone and couldn't make ends meet. Tonight will likely be some new surprise.

My conscious mind is quite content as it happens. But there appears to be turmoil and "what ifs" playing out at night while asleep.

My inability to drop my youngest off at pre-school without sounding like an over-anxious worrier. He's got a bit of a runny nose and hasn't been sleeping, so is irritable as hell. However I make it sound like he's made of porcelain.

When the truth is, I don't mind him going nuclear when we get there - it's what we're paying them for. Some how I come out sounding like a simpering wuss.

I used to be the same, always over reminding them of stuff they already knew/had to do with our son etc.
Used to feel so guilty dropping him off too, it does get easier over time.

Totally relate to this. It helps to remind myself that, yes, a big part of our job is to keep them alive now but, really, our main role for us as a parent is to give them the strength so that one day they won't need us. Easier said than done sometimes.
