Dream this morning:

I was hanging out with Lindsey Kidder a lot. We must have been working on some project together, but also we were jogging buddies. She lived in a house on the west side of Reetz, and when I was there I saw that in the foyer there were colorfully printed pieces of paper in a row on the walls, each giving a task that needed to be done every day. "Wow, other people are very organized, but all these tasks seem overwhelming," I thought to myself. I was cat-sitting or something, and while she was gone I made myself toast with tubes of fancy frosting from her cupboard. This came up later when we were together with the rest of the project group and I was trying a different flavor of the fancy frosting. They thought it was funny how much I liked the frosting and I was like "yeah this stuff is great."

Having hard time focusing on Factorio work so far this year. The first full week back after 0.16 I finally fixed the cliff placement bugs but didn't accomplish much else. Lately I've been trying to figure out a way to place ores and how that will work together with autoplace refactoring and how I should prioritize the work to do all that. Yesterdaay Sara put on LOTR part 3 and we finished it (I couldn't do much while the movie was playing), and at the end of the movie Frodo's all depressed because his life is boring. I feel for him and it puts me in a bad mood. And I didn't want to go to the county board meeting about the jail, so instead I went to Staples and bought a fire safe and a file folder box.

I looked around at my basement and tried re-imagining the layout. I like that my parents' basement has an interesting shape. And it's not just because of the addition or the stairs, but because they have walls and doors between rooms, so the overall rectangularness is not as obvious. Even my under-stairs room gave my basement a little more shape and structure. In the future I should do more walls.

Then I stayed up too late looking at facebook pointlessly.

Today I opened a bunch of windows and put some new batteries in the old CO detector and am drinking coffee and burning incense and trying to relax and work through the to-do list, which includes writing this.

Obvious interpretation of dreams:

• Make sure I'm making time to hang out with people and do interesting stuff.
• I want to be more active in the winter and ski and stuff.
• I want to be better at doing routine stuff.
