evileI dreamed I was in New Orleans with Thax. It was Mardi Gras season and we were hanging out with all the people I knew from Tulane. I recognized their faces but couldn't remember their names. We all went to a parade in a big car. Mardi gras beads kept falling in the windshield to the point where we couldn't see out anymore. The person driving just turned on the windshield wipers and all the beads fell on the ground and we drove away...
The place in my dream was the Vegas/New Orleans mashup place that I dream about from time to time.

Here in RL, I got up at 6, everyone was sleepy but we eventually got our morning walk. Home, washed & dressed, went to the dentist and got my filling. New dentist is taking over my old dentist's practice. She did a good job, I guess. The anesthetic was focused on the tooth/gum and didn't spill over into my lips, tongue, or cheek so I'm not drooly or droopy. I am congested with allergies so it felt like I couldn't breathe while she was working on me, but I never lost the ability to breathe through my nose, my throat just feels full of gunk and my ears are itchy. And my head hurts. And my eyes sting. Sinus/allergy stuff, I'm sure.
Came home and changed all the filters in the house - A/C and two air purifiers - one in the living room and one in our bedroom.
When I got dressed this morning I noticed that all of my bras smell bad, musty....and they are mostly all pretty worn out and dingey looking. I went ahead and threw them all in the wash with extra sanitizer and borax. I'll need to put a sachet in that drawer, too, just to dispel some of the funk. Sometimes I think my sense of smell is haywire.
I have a headache and I'm very tired.
I had a phone call with a heavily accented recruiter on a bad connection; it was kind of a useless phone call. She then emailed me and wanted the last 4 of my social security number and my date of birth so that when other people from her office call me I can verify I am the correct 'me' with them....I think either it's a scam or it's just really wierd and bad feeling. Either way I don't think I'm giving her any of my info. I am getting at least 2 Indian recruiting centers calling me now, and their process seems inefficient and ineffective. One will call, we'll talk, then the next guy from the same company will call, ask me the same questions, and then apparently there are more calls with the recruiters .... in the past, with my temp agencies I've worked with, I talk with the recruiter once or twice, maybe, and then I talk with the hiring manager or supervisor at the actual company where I'll be assigned to work. And then when that works out, the recruiter will call me back and I'll do the onboarding where I give my personal info. I dont' want to give that info for more interviews with the recruiter. They've read me the job description, given me hours and pay and length of contract, we've gone over my resume and relevant experiences...that should be all they need to either move forward with placing me or letting me know I'm not the best candidate. Anyway, all this round and round on the phone isn't getting me anywhere with them so I'm going to quit dealing with them. How are they getting paid if they don't place anyone and just do these endless rounds of phone screens asking the same questions again and again?
Oh well. I'll keep pluggin away....the work from homes are gone, ti's all hybrid or in office and I really don't wanna. :/
Next week I am out of town, flying up to IN, then driving back with mom, sister H , niece E, and aunt L.
