Bad dreams

This morning I woke up feeling unsettled after a dream of being back in New Zealand in a hospital but being chased down. Something had transformed a lot of people there, many I considered friends in the dream to take me down for some reason and it was terrifying. I had to hurt people which really bothered me and I woke up feeling sore and a little tired. I think part of this dream comes from the fact that the nervousness of waiting to hear about the jobs keeps bubbling up in me as I would love one of these jobs.

Thankfully or not, it depends on the shift, this week all the shifts I traded out come due and I worked yesterday afternoon and will work Thursday closing on top of my other shifts. At least this keeps me busy and yesterday's DE promptfest is also accomplishing that. One of the things I was doing this weekend was going back through prompts I've filled and posting them on Archive of our Own on the Milliways' collection. In the process I almost doubled the amount of fic I have posted, which makes me smile along with discovering older fic I'd forgotten about.

My prompts that I'm still working on are over here. I adore that the first one I filled could fit perfectly into the Erik and Charles meeting OOM, that makes me feel like my writing is going in the right direction.

My big project for today is to update my phone to a smartphone, my parents and I decided that its best to do it now instead of waiting until I get a job. My current phone isn't dying but its not been working as well as it might so I'm going to get an iPhone. I'm looking forward to it and would love recommendations for apps I need to get.

This week I'm also going to be brave and head back to the bank to see if I can do anything with them. I haven't talked to them in a while with life being so busy but I'm going to do one more try to get my money back.

I think today will improve, its just that dream left me ill at ease. I have books I want to write about as well, I'll try and manage that later.

A turn for the better

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Sometimes I think and other times I am," said
French poet Paul Valery. Most of us could say the same thing. From what I
can tell, Gemini, you are now entering an intensely "I am" phase of your
long-term cycle -- a time when it will be more important for you to
exclaim "woohoo!" than to mutter "hmmm;" a time to tune in extra
strong to the nonverbal wisdom of your body and to the sudden flashes
of your intuition; a time when you'll generate more good fortune by
getting gleefully lost in the curious mystery of the moment than by
sitting back and trying to figure out what it all means.

This horoscope makes me giggle, Uncle Rob as I just came home with an iPhone, my birthday's in about two weeks and life feels hopeful. My dream last night wasn't fun but life is good.

I have an iPhone4 that I'm in the midst of setting up and figuring out how best to use it. Its going to be my computer away from home as my laptop is really more of my home computer.

That means that my question for everyone is what apps do I need? What apps are fun? What apps are worth it? Share my squee and tell me what I should put on my phone.

My phone always needs a name and I kind of think its going to be Cerebro because it helps me reach out into the world. The guy who sold it to me was a Marvel geek as well and as he was doing the set up, we discussed Avengers and X-men movies which is the kind of amazing sign I adore.
