Usually don't remember my dreams, but I had a particularly weird and vivid one the other night. It wasn't even anything special and I'm not sure how it started. I was at home and started getting messages from an old ex-girlfriend, one from college. The only one from college, in the grand scheme of things. Anyway. There was an air of sadness around in the way the voices moved and the way my dream flowed, she said she was moving out west and wanted to spend some time together. The conversation ended, the phone hung up, and I either kept sleeping or woke up.

I don't know what that says about my subconscious.

It's surprisingly hard to find volunteer opportunities for evenings after work, that are something I actually have a moderate interest in, and don't require a year commitment. That's got me pretty down.

Hello? Local Humane Society? Can I come in during the evenings and some Saturdays and feed/walk/play with some dogs? What's that? You only take volunteers who can commit to four-hour shifts four days a week for a period of at least three months? Bye.

It sucks to want to give back and have no way to do so.

How's the leg?

Right!? It's driving me crazy, and I don't want to volunteer with any religious organization so there goes half of them right there...beggars can't be choosers but dammit, if that's not going to stop me from complaining.

Not sure. Been having this horrible pain in the middle of the night that's a bit worrisome. Goes away after warming up, but holy crap does it hurt when extending, in particular. During the day it's not really there, either. Ready to rip off the leg, really.
