1. My bed is broken! At least, the steel midbeam is bent
2. My foot is swollen! Yes, my stupid, injured foot, the one I busted on Sabra's birthday weekend LAST YEAR (Sabra's birthday is Saturday). I stopped running, started wearing proper shoes, and it's not getting better.
3. I want to sleep, but I can't sleep in my bed because it's causing me so much back and neck pain, and unless I stack pillows in the valley in a particular layout, I wake up successively throughout the night.
4. My rough sleeping situation is giving me weird dreams. This morning, I dreamt that I and several celebrities all had weird super powers that were also diseases. Beyonce was invisible and broke into Demi Moore's lean-to for some insidious reason. Demi's power was affecting her like chemo, so her hair was falling out, and her daughter, a sobbing Dakota Fanning, had telekinesis. I woke up while I was carrying a distraught Dakota toward the lean-to to stop Beyonce. This is only 30 seconds of the dream and 1/7th of the cast.
5. A couple of nights ago, I dreamt that I was being kept in a cage and couldn't stretch out no matter how I struggled to find a comfortable sleeping arrangement. It was like the 13 hours I spent in coach on the way to India. Only worse. My dream self cried.
6. My neck and back hurt so badly, I've been fantasizing about sleeping in a vat of marshmallow cream just to get through the minutes.
7. I spent three hours this morning turning my disgusting wreck of a living room into a Better Homes and Gardens centerfold, but I am about to tear it up by sleeping on the couch with my book and waterglass and so forth. I am going to sleep on my own couch because sleeping in my bed is just that painful.
