One night...many dreams...

Dream segment #1

I was sleeping on the couch (in the dream and reality) when I felt a small animal walking all over me followed by a nibbling on my fingers. I assumed it was either my cat or my sister's dog trying to wake me up. When I opened my eyes (in my dream) I looked down to find a gigantic, black rodent licking and nibling my hands while other giant, black rodents roamed my on top of my body. That's when I woke up (in real life) with an audible "woah!"

Dream segment #2

I went straight back to the rodent dream. They weren't doing anything overtly threatening. They just seemed to want to wander around, on me and around me and elsewhere in the house. I could hear click click click as their nails met the hardwood floor. I was creeped out but since they weren't actually attacking I just pushed them away from my face, which some where trying to lick. I woke up (in real life) when my sister came back inside from walking the dog at 5 in the morning. He came in to lick my face, after I was already awake.

Dream segment #3

I moved to my bed to continue sleeping. When I went back to my dream world there was only one gigantic rodent left. It was just following me around the kitchen and staring intently at me. It was pissing me off and I turned the corner to the living room to yell at Chayna, my Siamese cat, to do something about the gigantic rodent. Just as I got her name left my lips she looked up from the Siamese kitten she was cradling on her belly with an annoyed but sheepish expression. It was her kitten but not her kitten. She's spayed so It was almost as if she adopted the kitten without my knowing it. That's when my sister woke me up to ask me if I wanted to go to breakfast.

Dream segment #4

I declined, wondering where the next dream segment was going to take me. When I fell back asleep I was at my oldest sister's house at a family/friend's gathering. There was a little boy at the dinner table that my sister and her fiance had apparantly adopted without telling anyone. In real life my sister and her fiance have taken have rescued two dogs and adore them. Their dream adopted son was well behaved and hesitant in the loud environment that my family keeps around them. I remember looking straight at him and realizing that he was cross between a little boy, and seal pup giving me the impression that he was the last giant rodent that wouldn't leave me alone from the dream before.

I woke up very tired today.

Daily dementia.

So there I was eating left-over corned beef and cabbage for breakfast wondering why they don't box up that tastey treat for mass morning consumption when I realized I hadn't heated it enough (the core of my cabbage was too cool, see). Micro'd some more and ate with relish! Yum!

I had just finished smacking my lips and put the fork in the bowl when I realized that there was another fork which I remember putting down on the table before I reheated. I don't remember getting another fork. So the question is, where did the second fork come from?

foolish things i've done

That whole tiger balm thing reminds me of that one unbearabley hot August night when I was living in Newark with Chaw. We were both adamant about never using the air conditioning in the house but it was so muggy that it was difficult to sleep. So I got the bright idea to put mineral ice all over myself. I thought it was a clever solution to the problem when I immediately started feeling cool all over, an immense relief from the overwhelming heat. But then I just kept getting cooler. I ended up sleeping under 3 heavy blankets that night with my teeth chattering because I was freezing.

When I told that story to my friend he tilted his head, looked at me and asked, "Why didn't you just take a shower and rinse the stuff off?"

I said, "I didn't know I had that option."

Job offer...woooohooo!

Wooohooo! Awesome. I got a job offer yesterday as I was driving home to get ready for another iterview. Waiting on offer letter to be Fedexed by tomorrow hopefully.
