22° on a Thursday morning in January. Crazy detailed dreams that were somewhat unnerving. One was me with Bill getting into a building in Manhattan, Bill got through the narrow black doors with no problem, and I got stuck and needed his assistance to gain entry.

Then I was in an apartment with Julio & Stine. It was a nice apartment, based on my memory of their apartment in Hoboken. Their boys weren’t in the dream. I told Julio about my lack of employment situation and Stine handed me a bag of weed. I tried rolling a joint but I was having great difficulty.

A mutual friend, Lisa DeFalco showed up and was talking to Stine while I was talking to Julio about working on the video project that I was planning. I couldn’t really see if he was into the video idea and I decided it was time for me to go and catch the bus.

I was planning on smoking a joint walking down 42nd St to the bus terminal when it seemed that Lisa DeFalco turned into Daisy, my friend that I was able to get a position at the company that fired me.

It turned out Daisy was an artist in the dream and had given Julio and Stine quite a few pieces of art which were hung throughout the apartment, the pieces I saw were labeled ‘Joseph’, I thought they should have been labeled ‘Julio’. I was still trying to gland catch a bus but Daisy clung to my arm tightly.

The next dream was brief and involved skydiving with Keith Haring. That was it, not as involving and detailed as the Julio & Stine dream. It was quite a way to wake up and I was quite groggy. Bill mentioned that he noticed I slept so well since my side of the bed was quite orderly and undisturbed. I could have sworn I was tossing and turning.

This morning I received an email from a job that a week ago decided they didn’t want me. They saw Automat Kitchen and Trader Joe’s on the resume and felt I was not in the luxury clothing game. It seemed that this staffing agent, Brian convinced the client to give me a chance with a phone interview next week.

So my anxiety level went up a bit. There was also another email offer which I didn’t get too far into since I was still a bit stressed from the other offer, which isn’t really an offer, more like an inquiry.

I am planning on heading out today, off to the supermarket. It will be brief since it is still 22° right now and I need to gather my steps.

I heard from Mike this morning who asked what to do when there is no hot water. I advised contacting his absentee landlord and to call the tenant advocate for Jersey City. He said he was going to call his apartment placement advisor when they were scheduled to be available.

I do have a plan to go to see him tomorrow on his day off to continue to help him out with his situation.
