As I woke, I felt the dream receding and wished there were some way to capture it without having to pay attention to fine motor skills or actually having to speak, which is something I completely avoid until I&#8217;ve brushed my teeth.  Doesn&#8217;t matter who&#8217;s around or if I&#8217;m alone, I just hate having to open my mouth.  I also gag if I happen to drool on myself when I&#8217;m brushing, but that&#8217;s another story.<\/p>\n<p>So for some reason, as I&#8217;m waking up, I wax poetic and say to myself, &#8220;Dreams are the cobwebs that hold my eyelashes shut; when my eyes open, the fragile strands of the dreams are inexorably torn and all that&#8217;s left is floating shreds in front of my pupils.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Being artsy fartsy in the morning is, unfortunately, as nauseating as dribbling on myself.  Sheesh.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, as the kids played upstairs, hubby went down to the office to check on something.  I heard a muffled, &#8220;Ow, damn it!&#8221; but figured that since it wasn&#8217;t loud, it wasn&#8217;t serious.  After a couple of minutes, he called me down.  Turns out it was a muffled curse since he had been faceplanted in the carpet &#8211; fell down the stairs, injured his ankle.  I think it&#8217;s probably broken &#8211; second time since I&#8217;ve known him that he&#8217;s slipped down the stairs and hurt an ankle.  But he was lying on the floor, obviously in great pain, and couldn&#8217;t stop giggling.  So hard that he couldn&#8217;t even think about trying to stand.  And giggled for a good 15 minutes after.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Manly Man wouldn&#8217;t go to the doctor, either.  I&#8217;ve got to try to roust him to urgent care tomorrow.  How the hell am I gonna get him upstairs to bed?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I had an exceedingly odd dream about Angelina Jolie wanting to bum a cigarette from me.
