Monday, August 14

I woke up early this morning—it was just early enough to be sort of light outside, but not fully daylight.  I had to pee rather intensely, but I was not fully AWAKE awake.  I was actually awake but also still dreaming.  I dreamed I had a “tickle” in my throat and coughed—and when I coughed, a bunch of wadded up and torn Kleenex fragments flew out of my mouth and bounced against the wall.  They were streaked with bright red blood. 

I thought, “Oh, shit NOW what?”

Then I was completely awake; I started looking for the shredded, bloody tissues to put them in the trash can, but, of course, they did not exist.  It was just a really bizarre and realistic dream. 

I was glad to see that I had not been shoving bloody Kleenexes in my mouth in my sleep—or clean Kleenexes which were bloodied by some injury in my mouth. 

I got up to use the bathroom, and then went back to bed and slept about three more hours.  I don’t recall any other bizarre dreams, but there probably were some.  All of my dreams are bizarre, very detailed, and strangely realistic.

When I finally got up to stay up, I took a long, long, very hot shower.  It felt good.  William sat on the back of the toilet, and Sawyer sat on the purple rug next to the shower after weaseling himself between the outside opaque shower curtain and the clear plastic inside shower curtain.  Both of the little idiots watched me shower.  There is something a little unsettling about having cats staring at you with their large, round, yellow, unblinking eyes while you shower.  Weirdos.

That’s all I have for today.

I used to dream my teeth were loose and I would bite down hard all night so I wouldn’t choke on them if they fell out in the night. How our parents poison our minds through adulthood. My Dad used to pull our loose teeth so after a while I would never tell them they were loose but just grit my teeth all night. As an adult I’m paying for it now with dental bills.

Sometimes I wonder what our pets think of us big hairless animals that don’t hear or smell very well. Sure we’ve got pretty good eyesight during the day but at night we are practically blind, we can’t hear worth shit and we ignore the best smelling spots and just walk by them. No wonder they are always challenging us for dominance.

But we do have opposable thumbs and can operate a can opener. That makes us Alphas.

I think cats as a species cannot get over the spectacle of their local weird primate family memebers deliberately standing in special indoor rain or submerging ourselves in special indoor puddles.
