Dream

6:04am CDT Wednesday 16 August 2000

(dream)

I was sleeping and heard the weather report on 740 KTRH, the am 24 hour news radio in Houston. The weather guy said that a big storm was coming toward the city and he advised that everyone go buy some duct tape and tape up windows so they wouldn't be broken by the storm. I woke up in my dream and the storm was already pounding rain against the windows.

Went downstairs to find Wende to tell her; she was in the shower like in a basement and there was a small spider crawling on the shower floor. I shooed the spider away from her and didn't kill it.

I told Wende about the storm and that it was pretty much too late to go get duct tape, so we just waited and I woke up for real.

(different dream)

Wende and I were living together in the Methil house (where I lived from 3rd to 7th grade) and we had our cats and everything. I dreamt we were sleeping and that I felt a sharp pain in my neck during my sleep, but thought nothing of it. Wende woke up before me and was getting ready for work when we went outside for something. I was only wearing a shirt. We were talking about my decision to be on the KTRU Council. I felt that I really should do it; no one else represented my demographics: non-student, barefoot, adult. I owed it to KTRU to be on the council.

As we were going back inside, a van drove up all loud music and stuff. I flashed them by lifitng my shirt as they pulled up. They were giving away bags of potato chips and water. The water was their product they were trying to sell. Giving away free samples to raise product awareness. We thanked them and went inside; they presumably drove off.

Back inside we went inside and I tried to take my shirt off, but it was stuck to my neck. I reached back there to find what was wrong, and horrorified to find that the security tag thing that keeps people from stealing clothing was still on the shirt, and its needle had stabbed and stuck in my neck vertebra. I was so freaked that I could hardly tell Wende what had happened, but pulled it out of my spine and took the shirt off to show her. I was all considering the best way to medically treat it; go to a hospital or what..

Then I dreamt I was asleep again and the KTRU DJs were at a wild party, which included peeing on a big plastic tarp. I was about to join the fun and then I woke up.

I had to pee.

I'm pretty sure I'm awake now. ;-)

Work

3:11pm Wednesday 16 August 2000

I came in early to work today since I took so long yesterday to get into actual work mode. Full intention to get some good stuff done.

Got sidetracked though - with calls from SAVVIS (our ISP) regarding Kevin's home DSL line being down, with calling Marcus my claims adjuster regarding fixing Scott after the wreck, and with trying to get email to work from our home office DSL locations.

I think now I'm essentially on track and can get some stuff done.

Oh! Laura is coming over at 7pm! She's my lovely friend from The Castle of Dreams who invited me over to BBST

It will be fun to say HI to her.

Hanging out with Laura has been fun! We visited until Wende finished coming home and then visited at Souper Salad for dinner. My tummy felt pretty full and blechy so I didn't even have any ice cream.

Wende and Laura are downstairs talkin and stuff.

10:00pm

Fun talking about cats and family and computers and genealogy. Laura was all, "oh my gosh it's 9:30!" I had a vague sense that it was late, but didn't really think about it.

Great to catch up with Laura!!
