I dreamt last night that I was at home (a home I did not recognize), waiting for my mom and dad to come over with some of my relatives, when I realized that there was some sort of plumbing problem. Running from room to room, I finally came upon the problem. In a closet piled high with boxes of photos and important papers and such, a pipe had broke and raw sewage from the city was pouring from the closet into the room at an alarming rate. I was really bothered by this disgusting and no-doubt expensive problem--especially since I was still waiting for those relatives to arrive. But by far the most disturbing part of this dream was when, a minute later, I was looking in the mirror and with no effort whatsoever pulled out 1/3 of my eyelashes on my left eye. It was so disturbing, in fact, that when I woke up this morning I immediately went to the mirror to see that yes, I still had all my lashes. My once luxurious-but-now-that-I'm-a-mother-rather-meager-lashes. Raw sewage indoors be hanged! There is nothing scarier than pulling out your own eyelashes. Except for maybe having every tooth in your head shift around like quicksand. Because I have that dream a lot, too. Not to mention my hallucinations! I know, I keep mentioning them and not giving you the goods, but someday, my pets. You are not yet mentally prepared.
