Squished, Sleep, Sticky

In my dream we were smooshed in the back of a small car. It had those seats that had to be pushed forwards in order to get into the back (inconveniencing everyone.) His roommate got into the center seating with me and put his muscular arm around my shoulder (his arm isn't that muscular in real life). I felt safe, comfortable, and proud that this arm was around me. More people got into the car and we had to readjust to fit everyone and suddenly I was very self-conscious about my movements. I didn't want to move- my body, I felt as if it were too big and heavy for the small space I was in. 
I woke up at 4am to a text from an old best friend telling me she had just got in from a date with her new 17-year-old flame. (she's 19 and he just turned 17) They had gone to dinner and made out by a lake that was left unnamed. 
After waking up, I was inexplicably inclined to check Instagram, my email , and Facebook. Yesterday was good. I had pie that blew my mind sockets out and a panini that I'm pretty sure altered my taste buds in such a way that no sandwich will ever compare. EVER. Call me a slave to commercialism, but boxed water does actually taste better- or maybe that's just because I was thirsty and the box told me it would taste amazing. 
I watched "The Darjeeling Limited" this morning, but missed all the important parts as sleep took me under more than a few times during the film. I fell asleep when all was well between brothers and woke up to one of them carrying a bloodied and dead Indian child. WHAT HAPPENED? The ending was nice, but the movie was very long and for that, I will give in a stamp of GENERAL APPRECIATION.   
With Easter tomorrow, I feel like I have too much to do again. 
1. get/make mom a gift
2. make cookies for work
3. get English homework done (wtf was the assignment?)
4. do some laundry (which I haven't done in awhile)
That doesn't seem like a lot now that I've written it out, but let's also add to the equation the fact that I work 3-11pm tonight and tomorrow and the fact that the time before work is used for #4 only and sleeping. I've been sleeping a lot lately and I attribute that to the never-ending effort of my body to catch up to itself. 
Currently, my head is covered in coconut oil and honey and is wrapped in plastic wrap. (actually "Glad Press & Seal") It's supposed to make for some surreal shiny hair and if my hair comes out looking like that chick's in the picture, well then, this sticky mess will be well worth it. 
Happy Easter to all and stay out of the death trap that is traffic (the 5 freeway) if possible, otherwise just be safe and smart!
Adieu.
