Weird Dream #3 (Last night) - Mark was peeling crayfish in bed to give to some missionaries at our church, but he was leaving their little crayfish exoskeletons all over the place, like, on my pillow. As a result, i got very perturbed because I felt like I couldn't sleep. I was afraid their little antennae would get tangled in my hair.

I also made a fantastic chili last night for supper, with tasty spices and an ethnically diverse cohort of beans, and I did this in real life, not in my dreams. That may have been the root cause of my crayfish dream, but I just don't know.

I awoke this morning feeling like going back to bed, but I decided against it. The one thing that's disadvantageous about our apartment is the fact that there are lots of windows. While nice during the day, I tend to close them at night so people don't see me Elaine-dancing to the radio while I wash my Everest sized pile of dishes. I don't mind if people see that, but, you know.. I just don't give that sort of thing away for free. Since I'm very much dependent on sunlight to actually get me up and moving, the lack of even a little crack of light leads me to sleep in an extra two hours, and even then I feel like the living dead when I do get up. And so I woke at 6AM, threw open the curtains and opened the blinds, and stumbled into the shower. Now I've been up for three incredibly productive hours, wherein I have cleaned off my desk full of papers and rearranged them into a neater pile, washed dishes, done everything on my to-do list, and scoured the web for jobs. Just as it was feeling as if there is nothing left to do, I looked at the clock and realized what time it was and just felt this crushing panic at the thought that I was late for class. Then I stopped, thought about it, and thought to myself, "Not today, Cass, not today."

And so I typed out this blog. Because right now, at this very minute, I have nothing to do. It won't be true for long, but for now, right now, I have time for just a little blog.
