What? So it's not good to remember... I look forward to them sometimes.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

I'm about to go out and run errands. After I eat, for the first time today. I've cleaned the apartment, so that's good. I haven't decluttered, but that can wait. I seriously need to do a monster declutter around here.
Still up: laundry, manicure, grocery shop, targetshop.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think, actually, that waking up out of a dead (stages 3-4) sleep is interrupting the sleep cycle -- night terrors, or the really sludgified brain of the shocked-out-of-the-deep.
When you sleep, you go way down deep, then slowly surface, in a 4-stage cycle several times per night. Remembering your dreams is just a sign of your dream cycle occurring in a relatively shallow state of sleep: the upper levels of stage 1, right up close to wakefulness. Lots of people wake up twice or thrice a night (yours truly), and that's reasonably normal, as long as they get enough deep sleep in between wakings-up.
When you say than an exhausted person slept without dreaming, that's usually literally true: the person is charging up on stage 4 sleep, and dreaming is sort of bells-and-whistles compared to that.
Is now the time to bring up the (incredibly rare) prion disease Familial Fatal Insomnia? It's been proved that lack of sleep can be fatal in humans, although the way the disease progresses it's not a "300 hours without sleep!" thing so much as less and less sleep every night for many months, till secondary illnesses and insanity kick in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going with sofa, tv, and pizza I just got delivered. I faked that I ordered in just in case my suitcase got here when I was out (stupid airline), but really it's because I'm lazy.

The killing whoozit picture cracks me up every time.
Can you use that dermaglue and then put makeup over it? Someone got between gravity and a cat and is now sporting a slash under my eye. It was a very close call.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Today was Discover I Have No Money day, which led to Going To The Gym Instead Of Shopping day, and later will be See Sweeney Todd On Broadway Night.
And I have Monday off! Woot!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Today: curled up with coffee (yay having bought fresh dairy last night!), kitties, TiFaux and too many dvds, sneezing into really nicely scented tissues (what *were* they nestled against in the closet?) and freaking out that mom is going to be here in the morning. I guess that means later today means cleaning at least a TON.
I like remembering my dreams, fucked up as they often are. Though the recent distressing dreams can clear out just the moment my mind has worked through whatever it is chewing on currently.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Nutty, how has Familiar Fatal Insomnia not made it onto the medical shows? Seems like perfect medical drama fodder.

Yeah, she missed the eye. Did give me a moment of why cats?! but... Avoid vacuuming the closet when there is a nervous cat perched on the shelves above. She leaped and hit the hangers, bounced into me flailing and then fell in the laundry basket.
Bah, hit the wrong thing. The scratch isn't that bad, just in a bad place.
