snow snow

I was walking towards the toyshop this morning, slightly surprised by the bitterness of the cold, and wishing I'd brought my scarf and worn more under me cota, when out of the tiny teeny little dots of ice floating down here and there, what looked like a perfectly formed snowflake flew right at me, for a second I thought I could see its intricacy, and landed on my mouth, a tiny frosted melting kiss.

I love the snow. But there's apparently going to be blizzards this weekend. Which will severely cramp my stressed out last minute Christmas prep if it hits. Thankfully I now have a bootful of toys that promise enough of a Christmas if all else fails. Phew!

odd dream

I had extra super disturbed sleep for a few nights last week, as Bodhi had a fever that didn't want to go away, and a molar coming in, so there was mighty waking.

This made for weird sleep patterns, and lots of dreams, as I was waking at all hours.

I dreamt, among other things, that I was walking in the snow with a baby, in some Russian type wastes landscape, and scary sci fi wolves were running towards me out of the strafing snow. They were more like hyenas, brown and spotted, with weird, pale, yellowy gold eyes. There were black clad soldiers with rifles running up behind me, but still quite far away. The wolves were coming from different directions. I picked up, or was carrying, a wine bottle and hefted it, baby in the other arm, getting ready to catch one across the head with it as it got close.

It was pretty scary, though I think the soldiers got there before there was any need to actually try and fend them off, an then the alarm went off. I had to cuddle Bodhi for a bit to stop feeling freaked out before I got up. I can still feel them coming at me out of the snow, with the black figures running up behind me, though the feeling of holding the baby has faded.

Just in case anyone is feeling cold and unnerved by that, I will also reveal that I before that I dreamed I was in a hotel room, and Midget Wrangler got into bed with me with her boobs out. I resisted her advances in the end though. Still, are you warm and enlivened now?
