Friends' Ramblings

I wanted to get up and walk this morning but there are two reasons why I didn't.

1) I accidentally on purpose fell asleep on the couch.
2) I woke up around 12:30 and spent about 30 minutes in the bathroom being sick and then couldn't fall back asleep for nearly two hours.

But I did take a shower. Partially because my hair was gross and partially because I have to go to the store during my lunch today. Normally I go on Saturday mornings but I'm meeting my coworkers for lunch tomorrow. Our manager turns 50 in July and we're getting together to give her tickets to Wicked when they come to town next year. And Sunday is Father's Day and my brother wants us all to get together. So there really is no other time than today.

And, while yes, I COULD go after work, I get off at 4:30 and traffic at that time of day on a Friday is horrendous; I'd much rather take a longer lunch.

I have had a low grade headache for a couple of days now. I have not had a headache that wasn't due to sinus pressure or eye strain for a very long time. I also woke up with a massive leg cramp.

I finished watching The Closer and found Major Crimes (the spin off) on Philo. I wish I could watch Major Crimes while I'm working, but Philo has commercials and I hate commercials so I'll watch it on my TV where I can fast forward through them or mute the TV if I can't.

I've been meaning to do a watch through of The Mentalist so I think I'll watch that while I work.

You know the full moon is coming when I can remember my dreams. The one this morning would make a great show/movie.

It had a The Librarians feel to it only with time travel. The first part that I remember, a man dressed like one of The Three Musketeers was talking with a woman in a dress from the same time period. He said something along the lines of 'She's my sister and I will do what I feel is right for her'. I got the feeling that his sister was young enough to need a guardian and he was talking about sending her to a boarding school.

The second part was years later. A young woman found a box and when she opened it a creature was inside. In the blink of an eye, the creature left the box and caused some havoc but returned to the box just a second later and it was several minutes/hours before the damaged caused by the creature was noticed. She then had to decide if she was going to destroy the creature or let it live.

If she destroyed the creature, she would lose her family because the creature is found years later and used to power the time machine that had her brother going back in time to find her. But is she let it live, it would destroy the world. Or, ya know, a paradox.

My bad mood carried over to the weekend. Not even getting an advanced copy of the second book in the Dark Water series made it better. I tried to improve my mood by dressing cute to go to the store. I am still regretting that choice because I wore sandals and my feet still feel raw from sliding against the soles.

I tried a new recipe but with some additions. It's good enough but I think when I make it again, I'll follow the recipe to see which I like best.

For the first time in a while, I remember what I was dreaming when I woke up.

I owned a house and either had a bunch of people living with me or they were just visiting. I had gone somewhere and when I returned I wanted to take a shower but my bathroom door was shut and locked. I knocked and when the door opened, there were a couple of women in the bathroom. It was all steamy and the mirror was fogged. I shooed them out (I was pissed but too tired to do more than than remind them this was MY bathroom and they were NOT allowed to use it without my permission (they tried to say that they HAD to use it because the others were all being used and since I wasn't there they didn't think I'd mind)). Of course there was no hot water left. And then later while I was on the toilet another person came into the bathroom and left the door open (the toilet was RIGHT in front of the door for some reason). I complained and the MAN who had walked in on me rolled his eyes and left but did not shut the door behind him. After that I discovered that someone had taken most of my clothes (when I found them they were attempting to wash them (dress pants, satin shirt, bra, EVERYTHING) because they thought that would make up for them using my bathroom without permission.

Oh, and one of the women was Elisa Donovan (Morgan from Sabrina the Teenage Witch).

Yesterday's bad mood has carried over to today. And I don't see that changing at all today because I used the last of the milk yesterday and now I have to have toast for breakfast.

There was one point yesterday when I thought it was earlier in the week because it did not feel like a Thursday.

I have such a big case of the "i don't wanna's" today. I did not walk this morning and I don't feel bad about it. That is how much I do not care today. Really wish I did not have to work.

I need your guy's help. The story I'm working on (the one that I HATE) needs an ending. For reference, this is set in the Dark Blue (TNT show from 2009-2010) fandom.

Dean grew up rich but ignored. His parents disowned him when his father caught him kissing another boy. After a few years he landed on his feet as a police officer in LA. He had changed his name by then and firmly shut the door on his past.

Now his father has died and Dean received a letter explaining that he is mentioned in his father's will and if he doesn't attend all the 'events' prior to the reading of the will, then no one will receive their inheritance.

He goes but is far from happy about it. His mother tries to pretend they were a happy family.

My question is: what, if anything, should Dean inherit?

I'm leaning toward him getting more than his mother feels he should. And by that I mean, she thinks he should receive nothing because the last time Dean saw her he told her that she's dead to him. Plus, he got married without inviting her and refuses to tell her his wife's name. What she doesn't know is Dean is married to Carter, who accompanied him to his father's funeral. His exact inheritance would be his father's shares of the family company (60% (which makes him the new chairman of the board)) as well as the apartment in Manhattan.

There's also the option of Dean getting nothing but being specifically mentioned as further insult from a man who considered him a burden.

Or he could get everything and have to decide if he leaves his mother penniless and homeless.

So, dear friends, which would you chose? My daughter suggested Dean receiving an inheritance from a family member who is/was more powerful than his father but I'm not sure how to work that into his father's will.
