new experiences

I dreamt ..... I don't remember exactly the first part... something about a new home, a grassy hill, everything felt clean, possibly a little lonely, but good... just missing roots. New surroundings and new roots to be made. Then I was walking near a park that was new. I saw a friend of mine, LA, walking down it, looking happy and positive as always. I felt that I should count my blessings and be more like her. Appreciate what is there and not be sad about what wasn't there.

Then I was starting a new job. It was in a salon. I think I was to be a receptionist/office manager/assistant manager of sorts. The manager was there for a bit. She felt like a dense person. Not in a stupid way, but just her energy felt dense and weighty. She was saying this and that of what needed to be done that day and then she was off in a flash. The rest of us, a man, a couple of women... starting milling about, not really carrying out the orders, more that we were making sure we would be comfortable for the day... starting the coffee, someone setting out some leftover Christmas treats and so on.  A bit unprepared, but we didn't expect much business that day. A couple came in, I don't think they were clients though, nor employees. One sat in a tent like thing in the corner and they put their dog on the counter. It was a white Westie type dog, and I am not sure if it was a stuffed animal or if it was dead. All I knew was that it wasn't supposed to be capable of moving on its own. It was in a box and all of a sudden the box started levitating. I said ...uh.. your dog is floating, you might want to check it out, and then I let go of that situation. Then a woman was walking toward the front windows. She was a new girl there to do hair. I realized I recognized her. She worked in a salon where I had been a receptionist in high school. We exchanged hellos and ah has....
