Am I dreaming? I hear it constantly. Why doesn’t the phone ring stop? I’ve pressed all the buttons. I have even turned the phone to “off”, but I still hear a ring. I must be dreaming; asleep finally, after so many nights trying. The body can only stay awake so long, right?
I walk into my bedroom, see the bed ahead of me, those soft warm blankets calling me. I crawl in, put the pillow over my head and it has stopped.
Three o’clock in the morning, I hear a ring again. Am I dreaming?

Aha, thinking you might enter without our permission? I think not, my friend. Even though we sit on high, we see, hear, and recognize everything. Now step inside if you choose, but make sure to keep your secret hairy self out of sight. Our policy is all creatures are allowed, but must remain in human form while inside the building.

They are endless
Ancient harbingers in the night sky
Shining in all weather
A moon is envious no matter how bright it shines

It’s a day to start thinking about going off a cholesterol medicine I started taking. I haven’t been on medications for almost 10 years and starting this one has been a pain in the butt, literally. I can’t sleep, can’t think, I can’t remember things and it feels like my mind’s in a fog. The only thing different I have done during this period of weeks is take this medicine.
So is it worth it? I don’t think so. I haven’t been able to sleep for weeks because I can’t get comfortable enough at night to sleep. My mind is fuzzy trying to remember things, my digestive system is in an uproar of rebellion no matter what I eat and frankly I am tired of it. So what day is it anyway? Am I the only one…again? Have you ever been on this type of med and how did you react? Was it worth it?

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: She was standing next to her car in the empty parking lot routing around in her purse for her keys when she thought she felt a sticky chubby hand on her thigh. She knew immediately that Jack had crawled out of his car seat again. He was a masterful Houdini when it came to confinement. She quickly grabbed his hand and once again secured him into the safety seat. “I gave you that lollipop because you promised to stay safe in your car seat. I guess it will be early nap time.” Jack grumbled and didn’t try to escape again.
