Poor Lucy dreamed about me, and did a meme. Long time no meme here, so it was time. Maybe good time, since the readership has shifted since the last one. So, feel free to skip if you've read enough damn memes about yours truly.
I shall refer to it as the Dream Meme, or Dreme.
Hair colour - Very grey, silvery, with still visible black streaks and faint tinges of former brown.
Mother - Muted by her life and letting others choose for her, and an unquestioning faith that makes that make some kind of sense.
Father - A petty, stupid man of no education or sensitivity, raised by many older brothers - which makes the former make some kind of sense.
Favourite thing - At the moment, the new leather skirt.
Dream last night - I was fumbling and screwing up repeatedly at something. felt very dumb and inept.
Dream goal - Playing the ukulele.
Room you're in - Living room, main room, the one with the blue sofa and all the books and guitars and sliding door to the balcony.
Hobby - Just this writing/blogging thingamabob. And not playing the ukulele. PT seems to be filling the 'hobby' slot these days.
Fear - Pain. Chronic, worsening pain. Unmedicated migraines. Loss of friends, griefs.
Where you want to be in 6 years - Not having moved. AT ALL. Maybe in seven years, but not before.
Where you were last night - Oh, with D and NJ and Vicki at the Rio Grande Cafe for dinner. Home.
What you're not - A mother. Outdoorsy. Shallow. Insincere. Religious. Wealthy. Conservative. Athletic. Stylish. Traditional.
Wish list item - A job for D. Preferably one he can enjoy. A blimp would be nice.
Where you grew up - Inner city Detroit, very residential, marginally poor, old neighborhood.
Last thing you did - Ate dinner, D cooked the meat, I made the peppers.
What you're wearing - Lounge pants, t-shirt and TENS unit. Socks, too.
What you're not wearing - A hat, shoes, glasses, sweater. Way too warm for this time of year.
TV - Watched the first season of Mad Men on DVD right before dinner. Very cool, deeply disturbing.
Pets - Moby, but you know that. He's sitting on the balcony, watching.
Computer - Macbook, still works a charm.
Mood - Contented. Spend the afternoon with D, Blimpies for lunch sammich, groceries gotten, packed his bag, just time together.
Missing someone? - Moira, always. And the good folks I worked with up until 4 months ago. My Massachusetts cousins. Aunt Evelyn, after all these years since she's been gone.
Car - Honda Fit, or Jazz in Britain. Great wee vehicle. And not a penny owing.
Favourite shop - A new age bookstore/gift shop up the street, rarely buy anything, but it has a soothing vibe.
Summer - Can end any time now, thankyouverymuch.
Love someone? - D first and always. Moby, of course. Moira. Friends so much. And every patient for the time I stand in as their loved one.
Favourite colour - Always attracted to purple, all my life. But I seem to find the muted, dulled and more complex shades more interesting now. Greens with purples subtly woven in. Suddenly drawn to olive greens and dark sages.
Last time you laughed - A few moments ago, watching Mythbusters with D.
Last time you cried - Tuesday, in so much pain and exhaustion.

I appreciate memes and this is a good one which I enjoyed reading. Might just keep it in reserve myself.
Like the sound of the neighbourhood shop.
Where you want to be in six years - I'm not quite that optimistic.
Last thing I did would be the thing I did previous to replying to this post, or the reply that precedes this one? Previous to replying to this post I read the post and previous to the reply to this item was a comment about optimism.
Favourite Colour I'm impressed with your use of the letter U.
Re: U. Canadian parents. And a lot of Brit readers, so I get away with it. Like it so much I mighut just randoumly staurt adding extraneous 'U's in outher wourds.
Oh thank you for picking it up!
Your dream obviously wasn't the same one as mine because you were flying very well!
