I’ve developed a new pattern of sleeping. Studly Doright and I get into bed around 8:30 (don’t judge; we’re old) and he watches tv while I read for a few minutes. We kiss good night, I say my prayers, and then bam, I’m sound asleep.
Around 2 a.m. I wake up with some weird worry on my mind: Did one of the cats just puke beside my side of the bed? Am I going to put my foot in puke if I get up to use the restroom? Do I even need to use the restroom? What if there’s a snake in the toilet? Seriously, these are my 2 a.m. concerns.
The great thing is that once I determine if I need to use the restroom, and the answer is always a resounding “YES!” I return to bed and fall immediately back to sleep where lately I’ve had the most vivid dreams.
Last night Thor, (played by Chris Hemsworth) was trying to seduce me. He kept showing up in my house, in my shower, and against my feeble protests, in my bed. I tried to tell him I was a married woman and old enough to be his mum, but he promised he just wanted to snuggle.
“Well, in that case,”I thought, “What’s the harm?”
And we were snuggling so sweetly, so innocently, until we heard Studly Doright open the front door. In one smooth move, Thor rolled off the bed and underneath it before my husband reached the master bedroom door. The sound of Thor rolling off the bed awakened me, and I patted Studly on the arm.
“Did you hear that?” I asked.
“Huh? What?” he mumbled.
“Oh, nothing,” I giggled. “I just thought I heard thunder.”
After Studly left to play golf early this morning I couldn’t resist the urge to peek under the bed. No Thor. I did find a bedroom slipper I thought I’d left in Clearwater Beach, though.
Peace, and sweet dreams, people.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
ha ha ha – love these dreams in which we old ladies are still desirable. Also love that you call your husband Studly DoRight. My husband’s pseudonym in Thor.

I also think about snakes in the toilet nearly every time I use it in the middle of the night. Let me know if you’re aware of any support groups for this.

When I was a child a snake got into my grandparents’ house. One of them guessed it must’ve come up through the toilet. Since then I’ve always had this irrational fear!

That’s a lovely dream to have in a stormy night 🙂
My friends were repairing the ceiling panels in the bathroom and found a huge snake skin. How did the snake get there and where it went, is a mystery.

My husband just assured me that since we have a septic tank snakes cannot come up through our pipes.

That’s a relief. You are safe. Don’t think any critter can come through the septic tank alive.

I must say I truly enjoyed every bit of this. Thank you. In this the last 2 weeks of election madness I will take all the distractions and humor I can get. Thank you and Thor. Hoping for a dream tonight. My luck I’ll get snakes not Thor. LOL
