invasion of the 3-inch flying cockroaches. and water.
last night after work, i went up into the attic to find a box for the monitor. i didn't find a box, but i did find a leak. it was actually extremely fortunate that i went up into the attic and was messing around in that particular corner; it looks like the leak hasn't been there long and there's no real damage to the wood. i need to call the roofers today, though.
i gave jason the monitor and then had dinner with alicia and sarah at dales. alicia was interested in the stuff we know about the relationship between food choices and mood, plus it was fun to hang out!
after i got home from dinner, i completely failed to do anything but sit on the sofa, watch hammer shows, surf, and pet the cat. which i feel kind of guilty about. which lead me to thinking, this morning, whether i could get through a day without feeling guilty? it's already too late for today.
i took a shower and, yes, one of my 3-inch flying cockroaches was occupying the bathroom when i went in there, but politely flew away so i could bathe in peace. the fact that i've become as complacent as i have about them leads me to believe that perhaps some drastic action is needed before they completely take over the household.
i'd only gotten about four hours of sleep sunday night so i went to bed at 10:30 and slept, amazingly, for a very long time. something like nine hours. i woke up twice, once at around 6am to a wildly vivid dream of carrying moses around a huge house, trying to safely get him to my room, encountering many animals which either he would hurt (bunnies) or who would hurt him (a large skunk who bit my hand and would not let go). the dream had a happy ending; i got moses to my room and he was safe and sound.
i awoke again at my 8am alarm to a vivid dream that lonnie's was not just a shop, but an astoundingly lame and run-down roadside attraction, complete with large fields of dirt, old vw beetles on hydraulic lifts that the kids could ride in, and a building containing, presumably, some kind of homemade museum, guarded by a neon red and orange snake who chased me around. i lost my purse somewhere in all the chasing and whatnot, and was so very relieved to get past the mean snake without being bitten (he looked so very poisonous), and to find spacepod, who looked quite odd, like a beetle that had been stuck in a matter transportation device with a cobra ( the car, not the snake), causing a melding of the two (a la 'the fly', the jeff goldblum version). not to look mutant gift snake/insect hybrids in the mouth, i opened his door and he started right up, even though i did not have my keys.
btw, i have a twin mattress and boxspring in my attic that, it occured to me, i have absolutely no use for. it is in the vicinity of the leak, so it may be ruined, but if i determine that it's still viable, does anyone want it?

One should NEVER feel guilty about time spent petting a cat. That time is always good for both you and the cat.
Great dreams. My dream-savvy friend would have immediately said that snake=penis and purse=vagina but I don't know you well enough to analyze all of that. The spacepod part of it was certainly interesting.
I haven't remembered my dreams in so long. I miss that.

yeah, i was a little hesitant about putting the snake part into my blog. the purse i hadn't thought about. if those interpretations are correct, it doesn't bode well for my love life, now does it?
either that, or i just need to stay away from guys who have "equipment" that's upholstered in VW Camper Plaid.
