DREAM

When I woke up I was in a dream. In the dream I was working in a kitchen not unlike the one I work at now only much bigger. The same folk were there, and a few more. I was on a search through the chaotic mess for my mop. There were 3 mops. One for the dining room, one for the slop sink, and one for the kitchen. I had to have it. Trying to find it was proving difficult but I was on a mission. On my mission I encountered many flirts from people, many jokes, it was a good light atmosphere at work.
Then I turned around : I had heard TOM's voice. I looked at Tom and he was walking in the door with C.
My heart lept up and I felt a bit dizzy. There she was, walking into my kitchen. Her hair was short, and she was wearing a skirt (unheard of back in the day) and a black leather jacket, quilted at the shoulders. Also a scarf. (It must have been winter!)
She walked in and began asking if the food was good, was she going to regret eating there..I was still fiddling with my mop. I looked at her in wonder. I had conjured her into my dream world.
So good to see her that I lost contact with the floor. I was reassuring her that the food was ok to eat, that I would make her any thing she desired. She was smiling so broadly that I remember thinking in the dream, "There are those famous teeth, that famous smile." Ear to ear with the grin, and I was trying not to run up and hug her so hard that it embarassed us both.
We made each other laugh in that small time span. And I woke up very reluctantly, still seeing her standing there smiling at me from ear to ear.
I hope that means she will be in Lousville when I go.
