Do you ever wake up feeling bad for no reason?
Well, if I'm honest, there probably is a reason. I was really tired yesterday evening and pushed to stay up late anyway, which meant that the book I was reading came across as more boring than it probably should have.
Then I had a weird dream about work. Followed by another one where, of all things, I tried smoking a cigar. Nothing wrong with smoking, if you want to, but as a nonsmoker I was curious about the cigar taste some people describe. I didn't really get much of a taste sensation, though. I did end up reflecting that, yes, in fact, this sort of thing could give you mouth cancer even if you don't really breathe it into your lungs, so I took one shallow drag on it and then got rid of it. I did somehow manage to burn my tongue just off the heat from the inhaled gases, though, and the pain from that stuck with me until shortly after I woke up and I reminded myself that it was a dream. I think that's the first time I've experienced pain while dreaming. It was sort of like burning yourself on coffee, except it was a spot just the size of the end of the cigar (which doesn't make absolute sense).
And now, for some reason, all this stuff is sort of still with me.
I think I just need a weekend. A really long weekend. I'll have to do something to blow out this blah/sad feeling.
