I am sure I have strep throat. Josh already has it, and thinking I may not is just plain old denial. Last night I was running a fever and sleeping fitfully. All night I woke up having strange dreams, but the only one I can remember now is the one I was having right before I woke up for good.
In this dream I was staying at a hotel, as I drove up to the hotel, I noticed fireworks in the distance, I wondered whether they were actual fireworks or people setting off boat flares. (This was discussed in the boating class earlier that night) I determined they were boat flares. By their red color and the way they fizzled right out. Then I was in my hotel room and having difficulty controlling the television which had many buttons on the bottom of it. Who should knock on my door but my ex-boyfriend. He got naked and laid down in my bed, so I got naked and laid down with him, and he began to discuss his inability to commit to a relationship. He was wanting my opinion. I suggested that maybe that he wasn’t a long term kind of guy, but he insisted that he wanted to be one. I said lets go over each relationship and see where it went wrong. He started with the girl he dumped me for (this was 16 years ago) and said she had died a few years ago, then he described how she had been taking photos at the edge of a lake and an alligator came up and bit her legs off, then came back and dragged her into the lake despite the best efforts of the new guy she was with. All I could think of was how gruesome that slow kind of death must have been and how she deserved it.
I woke up with a big smile on my face.
Now if I don’t know how to hold a grudge, then nobody does.
