another day, another disaster

Today's hilarious fun was when Seaners trashed the living room (including the contents of his father's wallet) while Mom and Dad were FOOLISH enough to sleep in. Good times, good times. Fortunately Wells Fargo allows you to replace your bank card by phone, and if you file it as 'damaged' they don't even deactivate the card whilst they send out a new one! These are the things you end up learning as Seaners' Parent.

I suppose at least this time he wasn't wandering outside naked.

Last night's dream: my parents (one of whom is dead in real life) decided to trash all of my writing and send me back to school to some kind of place where I could get more skills instead of wasting my time writing. So I ran away to [livejournal.com profile] machineplay's, by taking the magical bustrainthing that runs from Seattle to [livejournal.com profile] machineplay's place of residence in about 26 hours. This magical bustrain was much larger inside than outside, with stadium plastic seating, a rooftop cafeteria that only materialized at mealtimes, and no bathrooms. (Or, well, there were bathrooms, but they were also stadium seating and all the waste instead of going into a sewer just sort of trickled down. Literally. There were also dirty needles all over the floor. So no one used the bathrooms.)

I got to the Detroit/Windsor border crossing and was trying to figure out what I was going to tell the customs agents because my green card is being replaced right now, and then I woke up.

The amount of armchair psychoanalysis you could do with this dream is truly unreal.

God, I am so damn tired. I've been getting tired around 4:30 every day lately. Don't know why, as it has no reflection on my food/coffee/hydration schedule that I can immediately tell.

Currently: sitting on the sofa with my feet up trying to stay out of pain and at least partly failing. good times, good times.

Icon chosen purely for my own perverse amusement. Thanks Jane! <3

Especially with the bathrooms? Holy snikeys, yes.

I'm almost afraid to look it up in my dream analysis books... afraid, and simultaneously curious. <3

At least he was clothed and inside. You can take comfort in that. :)

This is very, very true.
His psychiatrist pointed out when we told him about the naked incident that at least him being naked was a pretty obvious clue that he was Not Allowed To Be Out And Wandering. <3

At least you know that if he's going out naked, he can't have the wallet on him, because of the "no pockets" issue.

That's very, very true. <3 I don't think he understands 'money' either. With my luck he'd think it was junk and stuff it inside one of his stims. <3

My aunt used to get phone calls from the neighbors: "Ricky's naked on the roof again." He was three. She never did find out how he kept getting out of the house and onto the roof, but it was a regular foray.

(He's 54 now, and a mortgage banker.)

You could probably get into windsor without ID you just couldn't back (John almost got stuck in Windsor that way!) LOL

Oh MAN. <3 <3

I want you to run away to my house! Except the train takes 3.5 days and is $500 each way, at least. But still. *grabbyhands* WANT!

Also, oh, SEANERS. *sighs* It does beat him escaping. Makes me want to make 'bags o' cool' that you can plant around the house for him to 'trash' when he gets up in the morning.

I really have nothing good to say, but OMG, THAT ICON MADE ME LOL AND WANT TO HUG IT AT THE SAME TIME. LOL

Jane actually has that octopus on her desk at work I think. <3
