Dream

Ooooh my, another one. I seem to get these when I fall asleep while stretching.

This time I was in a flight, and it seemed to be going to Japan. It must have been an Air Bus. The aisle was down the middle, with 3 seats across on each side. I got a window seat on the second roll on the left (but I usually prefer aisle seat). The 3 seats in front were my girl friends (but don't know who). On my right was Scar (yikes... must be because I read the latest chapter of FMA before I slept, and he was in the very last frame). He just sat there and didn't do anything. Then one more unknown gentleman after that.

The flight attendants urged everyone to have some sleep. You know how uncomfortable those seats are. Somehow I "invented" a "very comfortable" way. It was like siting down reversed. Lie down with my back on the seat and my legs up on the back. Then I put my left leg through the seat cushion extending onto the floor. Amazingly there was a pocket for that purpose. My right leg was bend up. (There is no way this can be comfortable in real life.)

The two guys on my right left their seats, so I thought this was the perfect chance to go to washroom. As I proceeded, there were some other events, but I can't remember.

Dream

Yes, another one of those dreams. (Sorry, images are borrowed from the web.)

A was in a nighttime horseback riding competition. His turn was up but he was still in the wash room. So I went to fetch him. We came back but his turn was already gone. There was some grade school boy trying to get onto his horse, but the horse wouldn't let him.

Then we were lead to a house party for dinner. It was like a banquet with many tables. Everyone was dressed in turn-of-the-century clothes. Tables only sit 4. I was assigned to sit with a couple and their girl friend while A was at the next table. There was a break, and together with a bunch of guests, I was shown a part of the house. On my way back to my table, I needed to make a big stride, and noticed I was wearing a long skirt (seemed like I was also dressed in costume). Sitting was all mixed up so I went to sit with A. A gentlemen and a lady joined us. They looked like father and daughter. We tried to have a conversation with the lady, but she seemed to be retarded and we couldn't talk much. We were served food, but I can't remember what.

There were more, but as usual, evaporated before I could write it down.

Chiropractor

Non-stop rain again. Chiropractor day. Got A's gift card from TJ's, bought buns for tomorrow's lunch, went home. Nap. No energy.

Oops, borrowed the candy, took the picture, return without eating it. No idea what it tastes like. Sorry!

UPS

Took A to pick up a package at the UPS office near the Richmond airport. First time ever to be in that area. It's very barren and doesn't even have street lights.

I do admit, I am feeling better. Thanks A! (^_^) Well, the third image above may cause some misunderstand. It belongs to A, but not the reason I'm feeling better.

UBC hospital

Dad's appointment was at 8 AM. Had to get up at 6:30. Only got one hour sleep. We left the hose at 7:10 AM. Should take only about half and hour but since I'm not familiar with the geography, better leave some elbow room. The sun wasn't even up. It was dark like night, and raining. Driving condition was bad, and way more cars than expected.

As anticipated, I did get lost. Took a wrong turn at the round-about where Marine Drive meets 16th. I should have printed the map out instead of trying to memorize it. (T_T) Wasted some time there, but still OK. However, we couldn't find the building after we parked, and lost more time. Dad can't walk fast. We were 5 minutes late. The nurses were waiting for us already.

We got dad changed, and sent into the room alone. I wasn't allowed in despite being his translator. After that, don't remember much. I kept dosing off in the waiting area. On my way back from the washroom, I saw dad siting in the hallway with other patients in line for something. Told mom, and she went to sit with him. I continued dosing off. It was super uncomfortable. All the joins in my body was aching.

There were 2 tests. Kidneys function test, and bladder function test. By the time we were called in to see the doctor, those were done. The last thing was a cystoscopy (sticking a camera into the urethra). We were allowed to be in the room. A little bit of translation was needed. Like, we need you to sign for consent to be examined, come closer the the edge of the bench, put your feet here, the nurse is going to clean you, she's going to inject freezing gel, the doctor is going to insert the camera, etc. I'd say, the procedure was not unlike Medieval torture. Blood is expected to be seen in urine for about 2 days, and it's normal.

It was almost 11 AM when we left. Took 16th Ave this time. It seemed very smooth and easy. But I didn't want to take any chance on our way there. Ate lunch at DQ. Picked up 5 loafs of discounted (expiring) bread a bakery nearby, and went home. Finally, I could sleep. It was about 1 PM.

Got woken up at 6:30 PM. It's brother-come-home-for-dinner day, and as usual we'd be eating out. Once again, groggy and needed to drive. Mui Garden curry for dinner.

This "nap" screwed me up again, and I couldn't sleep until 5:30 AM. (T_T) Am I screwed up for life?
