The Joy of Sonancy

The nightmare fairy paid me a visit last night. I woke up in a panic and did not know why. Unusual and frightening. I always remember my dreams. The husband held my hand until I fell back asleep. Undisturbed for the rest of the night.

At the sound of the alarm, I listened to the brief news, Wall Street, weather and traffic information. I headed to the bathroom. I heard an owl. Awesome and beautiful. I had not heard such a call in so long, I'd forgotten.

It hooted all morning. It made me happy. Peaceful.

Then I went out to my truck this morning. It was covered in owl poop.

And(!) I'm letting the gatos out.

The owl was taking target practice and was celebrating each time he hit the bull-eye!

Fabulous. Owls are pretty kick ass, though, aren't they?

I hate nightmares. Your hubby sounds like a sweetie, though.
