i was driving. back on the skyway in chicago. there was a rest area and i decided to make a stop. driving in the parking lot, looking for a space, i asked if anyone else needed a drink and yes, my brother did. i seemed to struggle with parking. i went up a little too far and pulled back. my brother thought i totally missed the spot, but when i checked i saw i was good enough. it was raining during this. raining down hard. i looked in my backseat and i saw two options for cover-up or to keep me dry: a towel and a jacket.
of course i went for the towel.
there was an olive garden in this rest stop. i walked around in it. in some ways, it was more than an olive garden. it had fancy rooms, too. there was one called the new orleans room. i peeked in. there were round tables with people eating. and i saw sonny larosa sitting at the edge of a stage. i deduced that sonny larosa and america's youngest jazz band [a band i played in when i was 8-13 years old] had just played there.
i saw there was a buffet at olive garden. i thought this would be a nice fast easy way to grab some hot food and get back on the road. i looked for my grandparents to see where they were and to see if they wanted to eat, too. yes, my grandfather was still alive in my dream. but my grandmother had trouble getting around as she was walking around with this big aluminum box surrounding her (open on the front). i don't know what it was for..
then i don't remember too much else. i just remember wanting to eat. i wanted some meat, a quick protein fix. i wanted some lobster dip. in another part of my dream (or a different one entirely), uhm.. i dunno, i was in a bed waiting for aaron. watching tv, i guess. i was snacking on a bag of something. when he came in, he snacked on a bag of funyuns. he set it aside and i wanted some.. but i don't think he wanted to let me have some..
