Random Thoughts

I have the weirdest dreams. And sometimes I have the weirdest ideas while I'm sleeping. And I'm quite good at remembering both the dreams and the ideas. This morning I woke up and, still half-asleep, told Jeran that I had an idea to improve organ donation process by making a machine that you would hook the donated organ up to that would pump blood through it so it can be transplanted later, instead of immediately. I have no idea where this came from and once I woke up I realized it was a ridiculous idea disguised as a logical-sounding idea. On so many levels.

But still, the fact of the matter is that my mind is going a million miles an hour while I sleep. Sleep is amazing! How often have you gone to bed trying to figure something out and woken up with the answer, or at least a possible idea? Happens to me all the time.

On another note, I went for a good long walk today (with a little jogging for good measure). The weather was perfect (sunny but not hot). It was nice to be outside and active, and until it gets too roasting hot I will try to do it more. I like to look at all the houses and yards.

We have a few carrot sprouts coming up in our new garden. It's exciting. We also planted marigolds, corn, and green onions, but no signs of life there yet. We're also going to do some tomatoes, bell peppers and jalepeno peppers when they get the starts at the garden center.

I'm reading Anna Karenina. It is long but interesting. I'll post more on it when I finish.

Anyways, this is getting boring. Sorry.
