Woo-hoo! It's today!

My very first thought this morning when I woke up was actually, "Woo hoo! It's today!" Woah, wouldn't it be cool to wake up with such a cheery thought every morning? My usual first thought for the morning is "Ugh," and that's on a good day.

But anyway, dream time! Last night I dreamt that I was in the ICU. We were interviewing people to be residents and I was stationed there to ask and answer questions as they went by. While I was between interviewees I got to witness the nurses' actions. Turns out they let the patients "get some air" by hanging them out the windows of their 6th floor rooms by their ventilator tubes--the breathing tube down their tracheas. Nobody seemed to think this was unusual. But then for some reason one of the little old ladies' tubes started to unroll from the vent like it was on a spool and she started to float away like a kite. Nobody noticed until her nurse went to pull her in and looked out but didn't see her. Instead she had to look up. But she couldn't pull her in by her vent tube because that would pull it out of her throat and she'd fall. Instead she pulled her in by her NJ tube (naso-jejunum), her feeding tube. When they got her in, the news people were there and everyone asked why the NJ tube hadn't come out when they pulled on it. A doctor (Lionel Luther from Smallville) showed up and said it was because of his new nutritional supplement. Then things calmed down a bit and I went back to interviewing people. Stacy came up to me and asked if I would stop by her place and play with her puppy. I agreed to do so. Turns out Stacy lives with Ray and Aunt V. She had a little cute-beyond-belief Jack Russel terrier puppy. But then it became a kitten and I became a little boy and the dream switched to movie-like where I wasn't in it. Every time the little boy played with the kitten he would be transported back to biblical times. I'm not sure how he got back to regular time, but he kept jumping back and forth. When he was in the other time very little time would pass for the people where he wasn't, but time progressed normally for him. He made friends with a woman back in time who basically adopted him and he began to spend more and more time there. Which meant in our time he was growing old much faster than he should have. It soon became apparent that this kid was somebody important back in time. He was either Jesus or Michelangelo.
