mamajoanI have returned from the cottage. A nice relaxing weekend was had by all, with the exception of the teeny frog I caught in the grass to show Isaac. I let him go, of course, but he was probably already deeply traumatized. Alas, poor frog.
I had a dream last night about these friends of mine who are in the process of adopting a baby from China. In the dream, I was on a business trip in Paris, or maybe Russia? anyway, somewhere that it seems strange to be holding a meeting of people who want to adopt Chinese babies, and yet, in the logic of dreams, that's what was happening. The government was holding a meeting where they were going to announce which couples would be allowed to adopt and which wouldn't. Somehow I ended up listening in on the meeting, and they said that NO couples were going to be allowed to adopt that day -- just because the gov't had decided to be assholes; it wasn't like they had considered all the applications and rejected them all or anything. So of course I immediately thought of my friends (who weren't at the meeting) and thought, "man, they are going to be SO bummed."
Then I went home and saw them, and the female half of the couple was crying and telling everyone the whole story of how they missed their flight to Paris (or Russia) so they missed the meeting and consequently were not going to be able to adopt. I pulled her husband aside and explained about the meeting and how no couples were allowed to adopt, so even if they had gotten to the meeting they still wouldn't be adopting. He found this comforting, and we were trying to get his wife's attention to tell her this, but we couldn't because she was too busy wallowing in her grief. And then I woke up.
Sometimes I really gotta wonder about my subconscious.
