Unsettled

[thrill]

I think a problem I have is that I don't feel unsettled enough.

You ever get the feeling that you've done something horribly wrong or that you've forgotten something crucial, but as far as you can tell everything is actually fine? Cause I hate that.

I know the feeling. Before going out of town for the weekend on Friday, I accidentally forgot to flush. When I came home sunday night, my house smelled like Wrigley Field. Hopefully you didn't forget anything important like that.

I've actually done the opposite -- flushed just before leaving for the weekend only to have the flapper valve fail causing the toilet to flush continuously for a couple days. Cost me like $100.

From time to time I have a dream where for some reason I'm in college, and it's 3/4 of the way through the semester, yet I haven't done a single thing for a certain class. I haven't attended the class, I've done none of the homework or taken a test. Almost as if I've forgotten that I'm even enrolled in the class.

I have this dream a lot.

I think it is because I'm in love with my mother. Or something.

I still get this dream from time to time.

No matter how often I check that the stove is off etc... when leaving the house for an extended period (1+ days) I get a weird feeling that something is wrong. I've resported to creating a checklist, and I fill it out as I go through the house and take the list with me so that 5 miles down the road I'm not in panic mode because I forgot something.

Maybe being adventureous isn't enough. Try volunteering or tutoring maybe.

I had the dream last night where I showed up for the test and I wasn't even certain if I was in the class or not, and I had notes for a different class. First time I ever had that dream. Then again this is just on the heels of getting turned down for another teaching job when the head of the department said, "you've pretty much got it... 90%", gave me text books to take home etc. and then the people on the board told him they coulden't hire someone.

Now I'm wondering if I should just say F it to teaching, and go live in a Catholic Worker House and spend my time doing what I can in/with the many struggling, oppressed (by the hierarchy), progressive, Catholic communities in St. Louis.

That's absolutely brilliant. Doing that would save me a ton of stress an hour or two down the road on my trip.

I get a lot of that in my dreams.

I mostly feel unsettled in the sense that I should be doing something more amazing with my life. Why am I spending so much time doing mundane things?

Michael. We love GRB. Just reminding you.

don't you panic that you forgot to put something on the list?

I made one list and copied it. I have several copies laying around. Sometimes I'll add to it, once for example I left coffee in the filter and came back to mold in the coffee maker.
