Fresh when it gets here from

My current project is updating the craft room. Sorry, no pictures. At this point it's a cluttered mess. I have some new pegboard and shelves on order. Imagine my surprise when I got a notification saying the delivery was five stops away! Keep in mind that it's 10:00 AM as I write this, and Amazon deliveries at this time of day are rare. Of course, when I opened the app the status showed that it's not even out for delivery. Thank you, Amazon, for getting up my hopes for a productive afternoon! Oh, well. There is still plenty to do in there.
Anxiety dreams continue. I don't know if I've written much about those here. Last night's involved being hired as a PA for a woman running a PR agency. She was a huge diva. Her PAs all follwed her to the coffee shop to pick up an order, and I was standing there wondering if I should buy something to take in or if I'd look like a fool. We stood and watched as she grabbed her order, added other items from displays, and waltzed out the door. Uh, were we supposed to pay? I do know she had a fit and told us we could walk back to the office. No rides for us.
That one was mild. One I remember the other night was that I was at a conference. I had no idea what the conference was even about, but people seemed to know me. I was then informed I had a presentation in two hours. On what? "Oh, here's your slide deck." I was handed a stack of index cards of various colors. Uh...
Those are still nothing compared to the "puzzle" dreams. I'm trying to solve a problem. I fail. I start over. Lather, rinse, repeat.
It would be nice to have a dream where something good happens, but even those end up bad. Maybe as I extricate myself from my overload of responsibilities I'll have fewer of these dreams. It's not that I *want* to be irresponsible. It's that I've taken on too much and need to shed some things.
Ha! Amazon now says my goodies will arrive by 11:30. So perhaps I shall have a productive afternoon after all!
