make room on the couch...

yeah, my second day of being thirty-four and i have a cold. or at least that's what i'm calling it. my whole inside of my face feels a little puffy and wet...and my throat feels that way, too. although nothing really "hurts"...just feels raw...and sleepy. all over sleepiness... almost so sleepy i ache.

but i still got s to his first flute lesson. and n and o to their piano lessons. (think it's significant n and o's first letters of their names combine to spell "no"? i just noticed this... they ARE the brothers that i introduce usually as "water" and "oil"...i will ponder this, perhaps in my sleep)

oh! and my dream last night... major weirdness. it was about snowboarding on a "snowboarding course" that was really just a huge pile of trash next to some water that was supposed to be frozen. so i go there, look around, slide around a little, and then end up falling in the water, which obviously wasn't frozen (and was gross)... and while pulling myself out, i pull a city garbage truck in the water...on accident, of course, but this was not some fantasy dream so i was really freaking out over pulling a city truck into the water.... it was awful. so something in my head just finally said, "wake up. open your eyes." and then i did. and it was 6:23am. which was strange because i could hear my spouse snoring next to me and i KNOW they round in the hospital at 6 or 6:15am...so i woke him up and told him what time it was. and felt terrible for him for the next fifteen minutes that it took him to brush his teeth, brush his hair, and put on clean scrubs to run out the door. well, and he called the hospital to tell them he was on his way and his alarm didn't go off. i felt really bad for him...like i said, for at least fifteen minutes. then i went back to sleep...

because i'm sleepy...like i said before. and i'm making a spot on the couch....and eating oranges and drinking hot tea. oh, and pass the neti pot, too...
peace

ps--gung hay fat choy! (i forgot, today's the chinese new year...it's a rat year starting today...)
