I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Our wings are not tired.
I have dreams of car driving gone awry all the time.
It was a holy crap I am too old to drive because I can't remember the order of the gears horror moment. Not cool, brain!

Punishingly Intricate
Brains are terrible! Ever since I started my new job I’ve had terrible work dreams where I’m about to be fired or laid off.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Happy Birthday, lisah!

Oh no Lisah, that’s frustrating! I have been on a new med where one of the side effects is vivid dreams, but thankfully they’re just weird/random, not anxious or nightmares.
I am so sleepy today though. 5 hours sleep after a long dance weekend is rough!

Happy Birthday, lisah! May the firing and layoffs remain strictly the province of nightmares.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have heard a theory (I got it from Francis Crick but I'm not sure if he's the originator) that the problem with dreams is that we remember them. Our poor brains are trying to clear out all those anxieties and fears from the cache while we aren't paying attention and we go and recapture the memories and think about them while we are awake. It's an appealing idea.

Always Anti-fascist!
Thinking of that Simpsons thing, with the little song. "Lisa, it's your birthday...happy birthday, Lisa." (Strange, but sweet, like a lot of my best early-simpson's memories. Even though I still laugh sometimes, that show hasn't been like that in a long time.)

Thrive to spite them
Sheryl from what I remember of my brief stint working at a pet store hamsters aren't the best starter pets even though a lot of guides say they are.
They are fragile...not as fragile as a chinchilla but still tiny bones so they need gentle handling. They are nocturnal so they will be up moving around at night and sleeping lots during the day. They also need daily handling and interaction ...some more than others. Dwarf hamsters really need that otherwise they get bitey.

Yeah, that just sounds like a whole other level of care and feeding (literally) that maybe is a lot to take on right now. I mean, no kids or hamsters over here, but it just strikes me as potentially fraught.
