When you go to your bedroom, and discover someone has come into your house and stolen your mattress. OH, sure--they left the pad-thing that was on top of the mattress, but the mattress itself is GONE! And the SHEETS are still on the bed! How'd they do that?! And when!? And WHY!?
Why? Because it's a stupid STUPID dream, and it carried on with further stupid revelations the longer it went on--I went downstairs and my mother was there in the dark trying to cook something in the microwave, and the display was all weird characters that looked like Klingon poetry, and I asked her if she'd seen anyone stealing our mattress, and she said no, but that someone had taken the coffee pot.
GRR.
It all started because I had to get up and go to the john at 3:57 a.m. An hour and a half to go back to sleep before time to get up again. The absolute WORST 90 minutes you can spend. And wouldn't you know it, but when I got back into bed, my stupid STUPID pneumonia/kennel cough/emphyzema/hair ball hacking started up.
I haven't gotten good rest for the past three nights because I have some kind of sticky chest crud that won't loosen up, and so it's been one of those irritating, "drop off for ten minutes then cough and wake back up," deals to contend with every night. Last night was some better, except when I got up at 3:57 a.m., it brought it back. So I got back into bed tired, and coughing, and only had a little while to get in a few more minutes of shuteye, and when I finally DID go to sleep, I wound up having the stupidest dream possible.
Hmph.

Posted by: skillzy at January 6, 2006 08:58 AMDang, if I stole Terry's flying mattress, Tuscaloosa is close to the last place I would fly it.
As far as the crud, my office manager has been trying hard to pass it to me. I told her to work from home until it goes away. I expect her to be back around May.
Posted by: Larry Anderson at January 6, 2006 09:08 AMI don't mind you taking it, Skillzy, if you'd just bring it back! And how is it YOU got it to fly?! It won't do that for me!
And Larry, you should make your office manager come to work, and YOU stay home.
