I have developed allergies.<\/p>\n
I don’t really know when it happened, but this spring\/summer has been inconsistently terrible. I’ve been sneezing a lot and I think I’m about 23% mucus at the moment – trending upward.<\/p>\n
And last night I was so miserable I took an allergy pill before I went to bed. Which I think would somewhat explain the dream I had.<\/p>\n
Earth was being invaded by a hostile alien force. They had been hiding underwater and built a huge ship to transport human captives back to their homeworld. I figured out what they were doing and forced their timetable forward. While masters of the electromagnetic spectrum, their reliance on that technology was their undoing. I organized the disruption of their communications, led the attack on their main vessel, captured one of the scouts in my cell phone (it was really ticked off), and – when the transport ship rose above the water – I forced my way on board and got 20,000 people evacuated in 6 hours.<\/p>\n
It was exhausting and I woke up more tired than when I went to bed. And the allergy pill? Well, as Marilyn Manson would say in his song, “I don’t like the drugs, but the drugs like me,”<\/p>\n
That allergy pill wanted to pull me back into bed and cuddle. I fought my way out of its embrace and dragged my sorry ass into work.<\/p>\n
I’m still a little hazy, but I’m hoping the diet coke and pop tarts – and a swim a little later – will wake me up enough to get me through the rest of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
