I don't know what to write about this moment. Maybe it is a sign I need to just do the things I need to do, but I told myself I'd wait for my coffee delivery, which seems to be taking so long.

I can see the roads they are taking and they are going the longest route so, I don't know what is up with that.

Usually I have sort of thoughts and tasks queued up in my mind but after writing the last story, I feel pretty much empty or finished. Kind of shows how useful journaling really is for the mind.

I am trying to think of things to write on my Todo list but nothing is really popping up. I don't usually think of things I need to do until I am doing something else.

Finally got my coffee and ham & swiss croissant. The coffee tastes so good right now. Now I can get to work!

When you get older you forget a lot of your younger aged dreams. I just thought for a moment and remembered I wanted to be a polyglot or just really in the asian culture like Oriental Pearl or Xiaoma. For a while, I thought maybe that is just not a possibility for me due to lack of funds and not being as proficient as them in language acquisition. I live in a small town and don't have access to a lot of resources for that. The only sort of networking I was able to do was online but that didn't help my physical situation. SO many countless hours helping people with English and Japanese.

Speaking of which, I don't feel like I'll have time to just study Japanese to get that " flow " going. Right now my mind is very much English and, while I can talk in Japanese, it isn't as fluent as it was in the past.

I did dream though, which is what I asked for yesterday so it is amazing I remembered some of it.

The dream was: I was in some sort of luxury hotel and was just exploring the place. I had a locker or safe keeping place but it was exposed, but no one stole my stuff. I had 2 checks in there for large amounts of money so I quickly took some of my stuff and the 2 checks and went back to my room.

That was the dream.

Not the most fanciful or elaborate but, I haven't dreamt in weeks so, I am grateful for even this bit of information.

Dreaming of a luxury hotel can symbolize positive life transitions, prosperity, and the realization of desires such as financial and status gains. However, it can also represent feeling like a temporary "guest" in your own life, a desire for escape, or the internal need to connect with different parts of your personality.

Dreaming of a check can symbolize value, opportunity, potential, and new beginnings, often reflecting your self-worth, financial security, or a sense of authority in your life. The meaning varies depending on the specifics of the dream; receiving a check might signify unexpected blessings or financial support, while a lost check could represent a missed opportunity or financial struggle.

Well, that is sort of good news, I guess it was an overall positive dream.

I checked my mail just incase I got a check from financial aid, but there was only junk mail. Perhaps I should check my mail on Sundays since I don't get a lot of mail any way.

There is a possibility it went to my mom's house but I'll ask her later on.
