A nearly forgotten past

The dream takes place in my Virginia house but i'm my current self (grown up). I need to use the toilet and i'm in the downstairs bathroom i shared with Audree growing up. The toilet is clogged up full of unflushed toilet paper. I’m annoyed that Audree has let it back up like that. I press the handle to see if it’ll flush and the water gets very close to the top. I find a plunger and try and unstop it. After several times it finally flushes clear.

My brain. So transparent. Facebook is great for jarring memories back into the light. Reconnecting is fun even if the circumstances of our connection are forgotten. Some guy named Harry made a comment on a picture of some high school friends i’d posted and it reminded me of a whole set of people i used to party with via Sharon. We went to the same school but mostly i remember people from our out-of-school escapades. Harry was actually in my older sister’s class and was sort of a friend of hers i think.
