Dreams

I had a bunch of dreams last night. All were broken up into tiny fragments. The only fragment I really remember is the first dream I woke up at midnight from. My wife imake1tgirl and I were outside on a suburban street. It was night out and there was a home right up close to the sidewalk (about 10 feet above, one of those homes that you have to walk up steep stairs to get to). Beside the house was what seemed to be a van parked. The van seemed normal size, but there were several people laying in there. 

It looked like their throats were slit, but when I got a closer look, they had stoma's (colostomies) coming out of their throats. My wife turned around and said she had to finish working. I realized she had long hair, down past her shoulders a bit. She sighed and was working on one of the people. She grabbed the stoma and pulled it tight and tied it into a knot. The strange thing is when she pulled it it seemed to make the person not able to breathe (but I think they were breathing fine after she finished the knot). She then moved onto the next person and untiled their stoma that was in a knot. A spray of shit (and I do mean literally shit) shot out everywhere, hitting the house up on the hill, spraying all over imake1tgirl, and an several feet all around. She then pulled it and tied it tight and went to move on to the next  person. That is when I woke up, and it really bothered me.

Wrap Up

Today is finally over, I am getting ready to turn off the computer and go to bed. It started poorly with the dreams, and for the rest of the day I have been dragging (and I have down enough tea to redo the Boston Tea Party in my belly). Work went fairly well, I actually was able to start the single audit and was able to dig into it a bit. I feel much better about that. 

I got a notice from Olympia. I had acted as an auditor in charge last November for a local entity. They evidently finished grading me (the entity, not my office). They gave me 5 out of 5 for all aspects. That pleases me.

I got home, studied a bit and realized I am going to need to have the CPA Study company reset my scores. So I can commence restarting the study process for my upcoming exam. Since I can't utilize the computerized online study materials I decided to play around with Gurps Character Assistant, and some on the new upcoming game. Finally I ate some chips and dip, played some wii golf and now its time to go to bed.

At least I was able to see my wife take a week off from work. She deserves it. I need to get her something cool. Something to show her how much I love her.
