Saturday night I slept solidly and soundly - I was vaguely aware that Himself got up to pee around 6ish and vaguely aware that he came back to bed, but then I was having elaborate travel dreams* and I thought I heard the prince make a noise and I woke up and it was after 8:00. When I got downstairs Himself said he'd told me he was going to take a shower, and I had not replied, and then when he was dressed he'd told me he was going to get the prince up and dressed and breakfasted, and I had not replied, so he concluded I needed the sleep and it was Sunday so what the hell and if his mom had come at 9:00 and taken the prince to her house and I had still not got up, then he'd have come and given me a shake and made sure I was okay.
Last night I slept less soundly - I woke up a bit in the sort of 4am area and I know I tossed and turned for a while - but again I was dreaming vividly (the prince and I had stopped at a playground on the way to school and were trying to get an alphabet computer game thing back to the home screen we'd found it on before leaving it, and then we were super late for dropping him off if I was going to get home and get to work on time) and then Himself was shaking me and the light turned on. (The prince had turned on the overhead light in our room; Himself apologized and said he'd meant to wake me gently, but the boy had other ideas.) I'd had no idea he was up, in the shower, anything like that; the prince often comes into our room while his dad is showering, but if he did that this morning I had no idea.
So this morning my forehead feels kind of heavy and I'm a little out of sorts from the sudden awakening.** I don't have a ton of work to do, and what I do have is waiting on answers to some questions from someone who may, for all I know, be out of the office until the new year, so I've been playing with a map of the world quiz![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
bethbethbeth linked to on Twitter recently. I've done all the suggested other quizzes until I could get all the answers right (except the Every Country Shape one, because no), and I continue to have fun with the World Map Minus 20 Random Countries one, which changes every time. Could I now pass the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service's one-credit mandatory pass/fail "Map of the Modern World" course? Probably not, because as I understand it you have to know some facts about each country, not just its name and location on the globe, and all I know is that Albania, a mostly mountainous land, borders on the Adriatic and its chief export is chrome.
*Interestingly, usually when I dream about travel or transit it's all about anxiety - I'm lost in an airport or a bridge is out or I got on the right train and it suddenly turned into the wrong train or I've driven a hundred miles out of my way and it will take too long to get back to where I should have turned left (and I have indeed had the experience of deliberately thinking to myself this is a dream; you don't need to drive all the way back. you can just wake up now.) or ~similar~. But Saturday night/Sunday morning I was dreaming about visiting new places and seeing people I haven't seen in ages, and I'm convinced that's a vaccine dream is what that was.
**It would also have been my dad's birthday today, which probably isn't improving my sorts at all.
