painting a blue room in a sinking house on a beaut day...Today, I am confused. Is it because I had a late late dream in which I was repainting the interior of one of "my" (only in my dream) properties in Palm Beach with the brightest electric blue, carefully delineating the several hundred fuse boxes to be installed at random, after having flooded the ocean by lifting an elastic band attached to a measuring stick?

I have a 40-year work history and a bachelor of science with a double major in physics and chemistry, plus a string of other qualifications.
