I woke up some time around midnight to a huge thunderstorm, lightning flickering and huge crashes that echoed across the river cliffs. Thunderstorms where I live always sound louder than usual because the cliffs echo and amplify the booms. I bolted up in bed, and ran over to close the windows by Shamu, who was cowering in his litterbox. I petted his tiny rabbit head for a while, then crawled back into bed and listened to the thunder rolling down the river banks to the waterfall below...
Probably not a coincidence, but later that morning I was dreaming I had to eject an entire high school marching band from the Jade Mines,complete with drums and tuba. Terrible dream. I had to wake up enough to convince myself that, yes, I did have to go to work today, and no, there shouldn't be an entire horn section trying to break into the building...I hate those anxiety dreams where I'm at work, and then after waking up work is still waiting for you.
So now I'm here, in my little clip-on tie, fortified by Island eggs and a really marvelous cake Melika brought in for her birthday. But I'm still anxious. The thunder, the lightning, the marching band...*shudder*
