I had a nasty, long dream this morning. The thing with crazy dreams in pregnancy, is that you are supposedly not having more of them, you just remember more of them since you are up a few times in the night to pee. In this one I was at some kind of party with a ton of people at some huge Medieval-style mansion/manor. I know that I was trying to get out and couldn't, and was concerned about my safety, but I couldn't find my way out of the house or find my way to my car. Then things started getting weirder - the house was attacking the people within it. And then even more partygoers showed up, annoying/drunken/crazy ones. Try as I might I couldn't get out of the house, find Brian, find my car (and couldn't understand why anyone else was cool with the situation). I was like, the only smart person there thinking WTF is going on people?! Scary! The past strange dreams have been more about my physical state and not feeling so sexy as of late. This one, who knows? Fear of the unknown? Loss of control? I don't put much stock into analyzing dreams, it's just interesting how long and vivid these guys have been.
My new favorite thing is drinking hot water with lemon slices, sometimes with honey and sometimes not. The hot helps soothe my dry throat, the lemon is a natural diuretic (swollen feet), and honey is, honey! I bought a bag of small organic lemons last night that are a perfect size to slice in 4 and bring one with me to work each day in my lunch bag w/ icepack.
Dance class and Glee tonight!
We have 30 plastic orange bins in our garage that we need to start packing things in for our house deleading work. There is this odd balance of having to live in our house until 10/16, and not having the ability to wait to pack until the last minute (we have lots of plans to balance the work with - October is always busy). I'm hoping we can get a good dent in things this weekend (Friday night and Saturday). Our plans for our accomodations during the work have actually changed: we'll be staying in my parent's vacant 2nd floor apartment in Nashua rather than my sister's house. It will make bringing our animals easier (won't need to corral into one room or worry about them mingling with my sister's animals) and it will put us 20 minutes closer to work. It will be however, a completely empty apartment - their deadbeat tennant is finally out and though it will be clean and freshly painted, no furniture (or stove yet, even). Mom and Dad have a double cot we can sleep on and I'm guessing we'll bring our comfy folding camping chairs. We'll also have a key to their apartment downstairs for more comfortable sitting (and for eating). It still won't be fun driving from Nashua every day, but it will be easier than Amherst, and will be a fun bit of an adventure. It's free and safe for our animals and we like my family. I will be happy when it is all done and we can unpack and make our house all Halloweenie!
I found myself a belly-friendly and comfy halloween costume for myself too. Yay, or something. :)
