Solid mix of real life and fantasy land

I woke up and started to go downstairs to make some food, but heard several voices and some banging on the walls so I knew that there were workers in our house. I went back to my room and got dressed in shorts and a sweatshirt before heading down. When I got to the kitchen, I saw several workers who were about my age, maybe a little older, working on the paint on our deck and as I started to make breakfast, one of them came inside and started to talk to me. That's when I realized it was SMW and I was shocked that he was in my house, but I tried to play it cool.

Then, I was in temple sitting w/Amanda and a guy she was interested in - it turns out that this guy was one of the workers that had been at my house earlier that day and we recognized each other when I sat down. I didn't know some of the prayers, so one of the ushers grabbed me and moved me across the aisle and up a row to sit between two old ladies who were supposed to guide me through the service. I kept looking back at Amanda but couldn't get her attention to tell her I wanted to leave. Finally, the service ended and I ran into SMW in the lobby as I was leaving. He gave me a hug and took my keys, telling me he was here for me and that we should go back to my house and talk. I agreed but insisted that I drive my own car, so we got in I drove down Rt. 10. At the traffic light by the lighting store, Amanda and her guy suddenly turned right but because SMW and I had been engrossed in our conversation, I almost hit Amanda's car because she slammed on the brakes to make the turn (without a turn signal) - I grabbed the stick shift to shift to a lower gear only to realize that we were in my SUV and it was an automatic transmission. I was confused because making that turn meant that Amanda and her guy weren't coming to my house, too, but at the same time I didn't care because that meant that SMW would have time alone to talk and get to know each other better.
