Work & Solo & Dreams

Only just started it, really, (I go in for my third shift tomorrow) but the summer job has been going well so far; a little stressful, and much more fast-paced than any other job I've had before, but not unbearable and time usually passes pretty quickly. So, yeah, I can't complain. And I have made a couple of dumb mistakes, but not as many as I worried I would.

Another perk is that so far I'm usually only scheduled for one or two days a week--I'm sure that will change once the summer picks up, and I could use the extra cash, but for now it's nice to have time to do other things without always feeling rushed or exhausted. My sister and I even had time to make a very spur-of-the moment decision to watch Solo last weekend. It's not my favorite Star Wars movie, not by a long shot, but I walked away much more in love with certain characters (read: Qi'ra) than I expected to be, plus there was a lovely soundtrack and space pirates!small spoiler ) The ending seems to kinda-sorta-maybe be hooking in for a sequel, too--even though I wasn't especially interested in Han himself, I would like to see more of Qi'ra and Enfys, especially. So who knows.

(Also, some Star Wars-related weirdness: Last night I had a dream that morphed into an hours-long, super-detailed Kylo/Rose epic featuring much bickering and UST and we-care-about-each-other-even-if-we-don't-like-each-other feelings, which was just...very interesting, and I wish I could remember more of the details beyond that, but I'm also wondering if I'm more obsessed with them as a crack pairing than I first realized, if they've literally started showing up in my dreams.)
