Okay here's my dirty little confession......Kfld........
Last night? I fall asleep right? I haven't been sleeping well lately. No idea why. I mean I fall asleep eventually. Most nights I have no problems. Other nights I just sit there, and sit there and sit there...and it's like - Jheeeeeeeeezzzz will you just go to sleep already. I don't do anything different. I just.can't.fall. asleep. I am chalking it up to perimenopause. I have to do that because if I don't the neighbors behind us who just got three pit bull puppies will see me, with messy Don King hair, ill fitting, short night gown, and boosm out of place, blood-shot eyes, (think the female werewolf on the Howling - but fewer, and less pointy teeth.....in a night gown) POUNDING on their door asking them HOW IN THE BLUE HADES can they be 25 feet away from their puppies crying for three hours, screaming like the Hounds of the BASKERVILLES, and not hear it when I ...who live nearly 1/2 mile away as the crow flies, and would love to leave my window open for a bit of a breeze to save on my electric bill - CAN? (GUARANTEE.....if it ever comes to that? The puppies will be gone - I've considered the Halloween werewolf mask, but upon being possibly shot? Thought better of it before knocking on the door - I'm scary enough at 3AM without it, AND WHAT self-respecting werewolf would drive a 20 year old Ford Explorer?
So yeah I'm chalking it up to peri-menopause. Anyway; there I am almost at that twilight sleep - and WHAM - off the end of the world.....falling, falling....and I know I'm going to have dreams. This is so awesome! Can't wait. I wake up in the dream and where am I? In the woods. Beautiful, peaceful, green, lush woods...near a stream - OMG this could be that dream with the Fresian horse and the beach not to far away where I ride and ride and........WTH is that? Music.....it is! I love music in a dream, so wonderful, calming. (Except for banjo music) and I walk a little way through these lovely moss covered paths and there....closer, closer.........is (gasps)......(NOooooooo) this isnt' a dream....It's a nightmare. It just....HOW did THAT get in here? OMG (I'm yelling to the director in my dreams to get IT OUT NOW)
And you guessed it - YOUR TOE TAPPIN, HARMONICA PLAYIN', HAPPY BLINKIN RAT BLEEPIN avatar - is standing on a log, .......doodley doolding in my dream........
THANK YOU VERY MUCH......
and the things I see during the day that haunt me all night - are sooooo vivid, so furry........so disturbing.
Most women dream about handsome men......what do I get? Chipmunks. Story of my life.
