Dream

Can you identify my sources of stress from the dream I had last night?

In the dream, I went into the office super early. Since no one else was there, I decided to pump at my desk (fully exposed by the glass wall in my office). At the end of the day, I was startled awake by a colleague and realized that I had fallen asleep at my desk and wasted the entire day publicly snoozing while attached to a breast pump. 

So maybe I'm a little tired, a bit overworked, and annoyed by the constant need to produce breastmilk.

But what this dream doesn't reveal is how undeniably -- and perhaps inexplicably -- happy I am right now. I have a sweet, healthy baby who alternates between states of ecstatic wonderment and easy mellowness. An awesome network of friends and family support and inspire me. My husband is my partner in all things. (His talents and thoughtfulness may be best demonstrated by the vigor with which, every day, he creates special meals that accomodate Riley's allergies and that he knows I will love.) On top of all that, I have a stimulating job that allows me to live my values and interests.

Life is good, yo.
