“close your eyes n try to dream/clear your mind and do your best/to try and wash the palette clean”

New standards in anxiety dreams: I am once again back in college and realize, late in the term, I’ve forgotten to attend/study for some of my classes and I’m not even sure where those lectures are, with the new recurring element of I’m a single parent without childcare.

On the one hand, I’m surprised it took so long for that last element to show up. On the other paw, Not Helpful, dream-brain. Not Helpful At All.
