In bed sick all day yesterday. Not fun. Feeling quite a bit better and going to the doctor in a few hours.

I had a very extreme and scary dream last night. One of the books I'm reading is The Time Traveler's Wife, so that impacted me. I dreamed I was at Fairwood, and so were a bunch of other people, of course. It was 1945, and the stinkin' Nazis, with Hitler and tanks showed up!!!! I had all the kids but no Chris. I was wondering if I should hide in the woods with them or stay behind and help others. At one point, and this is funny, because my Mexico vacation, with its touristy pirate ship came into play, Hitler was on this pirate ship, and some of our people were on it. Very quickly, he brainwashed our youth to fire croquet balls at their own family with cannons!!! I am not making this up. It was very dangerous. I had to dodge quite a few. Later, IN A CAB, if you can believe it, with 2 teenage girl Fairwoodians, I was screaming at them so hard for shooting croquet balls at their family members ("Would you really have wanted to smash your grandmother in the face?!?!?!?") that I was turning red and spitting. I actually asked an older Fairwoodian, "The Nazis didn't REALLY come to Fairwood in 1945, did they?" So I guess I had a hint it was a time traveling nightmare. Very glad to wake up!!

Hitler...in a pirate ship...firing croquet balls...at Fairwood?! Hysterical! I LOVE weird dreams! I'm sure it wasn't fun in the midst of it though... I have had a lot of dreams about being chased by Nazis/hiding from Nazis etc and I generally wake up feeling exhausted and terrified... and grateful that it's just a dream.
