The moon wanted more of my night...
I woke up this morning from an intense dream, where I was two people running from … someone. Mitch and Krissy: I was both of them, and there was a car following them. Mitch could tell it was driven by a "professional." Something to do with dark glasses and the car and the way he was driving. Mitch spun the wheel of the car/truck (it was both) he was driving, rammed it up an embankment onto a twisty highway going the long way around, and Krissy was watching out the back for the bad guy. Mitch told Krissy to take over the driving without stopping (for some reason this involved climbing over the top of the vehicle) and she had a hard time getting back in, keeping control, not going over cliffs that they were careening around as he let go of the wheel, prepared to leap out. He jumped out at one of the turns (I really hope she slowed down) after/while telling her to text him when she got there, on the special phone, because somehow … it was special. He was going to lie in wait for the bad guy. She had to get to the safe spot to do the thing they needed to do and get to the person, I don't know what all. This was in California, I’m pretty sure. The bad guy did not want them to do the thing or get the person. It was sunny and warm. (At least my dreams give me that much.)
Then something about a young mooching cousin following them, scamming money for hookers. Mitch and/or Krissy gave him a couple bills, said "This is for *her*, not you, and remember to tip, it’s only polite," and um, that’s when I woke up, confused, listing, lurching, made my way to the bathroom. The tub was flooding slowly, and huge black ants were drowning in it. I leaned forward to turn off the dripping tap, but water fell on me, the tub was filling so much more quickly, and then the ants turned into my cats, and I was trying to lift them out but they were freaked, and my alarm went off again and I realized I was not really awake. Also that tub was like, two houses ago. I hung out for a few more minutes in bed, because I was not going to list and lurch my way to the bathroom again until I was REALLY SURE I was awake this time.
The day has followed from there. Such is January.
