I'm throwing a second QOD out there because I'm dieing to know ...<br><br><b>QOD2:</b> <i><b>What do you do for your job?</b></i> I have no idea what you all do and I'm so curious. To answer my own question I'm a stay-at-home mom.
 
<b>QOD-</b> yes, just last night (which is what prompted the question). I dreamed that I was visiting my parents and grandpa who lives with them. We were at the house where I grew up rather than where my parents live now. In my dream my grandpa started acting really different. He's a retired civil engineer and has that logical thinking thing going, but in my dream he became more affectionate than he is IRL and then he started having the paralysis that often happens in stroke (left side paralysis). It was like the stroke caused the behavior change. Anyway, it was taking forever for the ambulance to come and I was really scared that it wouldn't come in time.<br><br>
My grandfather is in his 80's and he is getting more frail. His mind is as sharp as ever but he has COPD, and I worry every time I hear him cough.<br><br>
Everytime I have a dream that vivid, it is almost always about something bad happening to a family member. I don't necessarily pray in my daily life as a habit, but I always say a prayer for the person in question when I wake up from a dream like that.
 
<b>QOD2-</b> I am an academic advisor for a major university. I expect in one month that I'll be doing some trash talking with Tiff. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink">
 
Morning Gang -<br><br><b>Beth</b> - glad the date with the older gentleman went well!<br><br><b>QOD1</b> - yep, but details are more appropriate for the Friday thread. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br><b>QOD2</b> - I'm an attorney - mostly civil trial work.
 
Morning.<br><br>
Tiff - nice pics. Not too bad yourself the Maples.<br><br><b>QOD</b> - yes. about a week ago in my dream there was someone at a door, shaking the hadle. Woke up, actually got up and checked the front door and had trouble falling back to sleep.<br><br><b>QOD #2</b> - Assistant Athletic Trainer at a very small college. My job is to take care of the injuries, communicate with our team docs, rehab said injuries. I spend a lot of time waiting for someone to get injured. One coach at a previous job referred to me as the angel of death.

<b>QOD1</b> Yes, happens to me quite a lot!! Actually about 2 weeks or so ago I had a dream that was disturbing and actually woke up crying! Sometimes I have dreams DH does something stupid and then I wake up made at him!!!<br><br><b>QOD2</b> I am a science geek. My official title is Staff biologist, unofficial is molecular geneticist/microbiologist. I do research in a lab for a big old technology company. I have worked on tons of diffent things through the years and for different companies, everything from synthetic oil formulations to type 2 diabetes research. Right now I am working on alternative fuels, super cool stuff, I love the project I am currently working on despite the almost daily frustrations!
 
Not yet. But I seem to be just starting a lot of the wacko pregnancy stuff. Had my first hormone-blamed mood swing about 2 weeks ago. Freaked me out, I was crying for really no reason!! I think my DH will have it easy if he only needs to put up with about 3 months of me being a nutcase, right?!
 
Hey all <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wave.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="wave"> Checking in briefly from Winchester, VA here. Had an uneventful flight into Dulles, but I had to wait up for my co-workers at the baggage carousel who also flew in on this work training detail we got going here for the next week.<br><br>
It must've been hilarious to a native here to see us spoiled Californians try to negotiate out of the rental car parking lot (in a PT Cruiser no less - a co-worker of mine almost made the sunroof a snowroof part way there) and over to the hotel 60 miles away in a steady snow, but we survived the experience.<br><br>
Now I'm contemplating going out for a run - it's sunny but still on the misty breath side outside. I'm kinda' wary that there are still ice patches out on the sidewalks and stuff, as it got down into the teens temperature-wise overnight.<br><br><b>QOD 1</b> - Yes, too many to detail them all here<br><br><b>QOD 2</b> - Legal Assistant. Catch-all-phrase that really means "hey, you're pretty good, why don't we give you more things to do <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">"
 
<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> Gotta love pregnancy! I actually laughed out loud remembering my hormone induced craziness. Just wait until after the baby arrives. What a fun ride!
 
That was always my first indication that I was pregnant. I knew I had to go buy me a test when i got mad, started crying and the laughing uncontrollably all at the same time.... ya...it usually ended with my peeing my pants...I'm a goddess...Fear me! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">
 
I am crabby. I slept like crap last night. Tossed, turned and generally felt blah. Nothing like 3 hours of sleep. I also had a horrible run last night and felt like I was going to throw up the remainder of the night. So, I am a grumpy gus. Entertain me!<br><br><b>QOD</b>: Yes, all the time.<br><br><b>QOD2</b>: Ops supervisor in a logistic co
 
She's lying. She never came to see me yesterday.<br><br><b>QOD1</b> -- Just this morning, in fact. I dreamed that I was working in a restaurant for charity or something. My job was to cook the souvlakis (Greek shishkebobs) for two tables. One table was an older man by himself, and the other man was late 40s, really good-looking, and sitting with three other men. The stupid souvlakis wouldn't cook properly, and when they finally did I somehow dropped them on the floor. After a looonng wait and tongue lashing from the chef, who happened to be a Greek guy whose brother is married to a good friend of mine, I offered to approach the customers and tell them I was paying for their meals and ask them to order something else. Suddenly, the old man was sitting in his underwear with his pants around his ankles. And then everyone started ordering pancakes. Oooooookkkkaaaaaayyy.<br><br><b>QOD2</b> -- Nonprofit marketing/communications director.
 
BTW, <b>Winter</b>, I saw you at the Sacramento Airport yesterday morning before my flight at the shoe shine counter. Or at least, a reasonable facsimile of you face-wise. She didn't look much like a runner, tho' <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink">
