Surgery

I had to go in for surgery, and they told me not to eat after midnight. Easy enough. But then I went to sleep and dreamed that I’d accidentally eaten a small number of grapes with a bit of broccoli. While I do eat broccoli in real life, I haven’t had a grape in six years, and I never accidentally eat. I’m not the type to just automatically reach for food from idleness or whatever. But that happened in my dream, and I started worrying that they’d have to push back the surgery by another month or something because of the four grapes.

And then I woke up. I think. In any case, I realized that it wasn’t the sort of thing that I’d do in real life and thought the whole dream was ridiculous. Then I started accidentally eating a few grapes again, failing to understand how I could make that mistake after just thinking I was foolish for doing so in a dream. Until I realized I was dreaming again. And then I just wanted to get off the track of that particular anxiety dream.

Which I did.

Best grape?

Green. And hard.

Computer Chips

I just dreamed I was walking through an Apple store or something, but in addition to all the normal displays where they have devices you can try, they had this one section with potato chip samples that were put up in the same kind of fancy way with descriptive cards and plush backing.

And I tried some. And I knew this was in the midst of a pandemic. I also knew there’d be every reason for me not to do that even without the pandemic. I don’t eat things I just find. With two exceptions, I don’t eat things I don’t make for myself. I definitely don’t eat potato chips.

But in the midst of a pandemic, I ate these potato chips that had just been sitting on a store counter as some little kid was just running around them. In fairness, that was what the chips were there for.
