Sundae--try not to sweat the dreams too much, though I hear you: they're disturbing.
It might be the alcohol (lack of) and your brain re-setting itself.

I don't know if it's upsetting me or pissing me off, but Eva is teething, so she's not eating/drinking properly, which of course leads to not sleeping properly, which means neither am I. Dazza is away (although he gets home tonight) and things have been a bit difficult with the no power situation and the wild weather over the weekend.
All in all, I could flatten the next person who irritates me even fractionally. I'm just itching for an excuse to blow my top.

I love that story.
Now I'm crying for her instead of me. I guess life isn't that bad really. I even have aircon now the power is back.

from my QI book that Sundae gave me as a present: all the breeds of poisonous snakes in the world live in Australia.
YIKES!

Some of them live in africa. Cobras, black mambas etc. I wouldn't want to tangle with either of them.

Yeah ... I know snakes are necessary to certain ecosystems (I think), but I prefer them to stay far from me. All kinds.

The Drover's Wife is an Australian classic.
I'm now wondering about rewriting it as The FIFO's de facto. Quote:

In other news--
My aunt is in the hospital. I am taking my mom to go see her. This is a *serious trip*. She's sedated to stop the seizures enough to get the medicine in her. She's on a respirator. My uncle called me this morning to tell me she's in the hospital. It's the latest trip of many after a fall where she smacked her head. The swelling did not respond to moderate interventions, so two weeks ago she had major brain surgery. She'd been home a week, today, when she started seizing again. My mom had a major stroke in 1997 and traveling with her is an ordeal. Having her only sister dying in the hospital will make the traveling seem like an insignificant distraction. I don't know how long I'll be gone. I need to get all this shit together then call my uncle with the details of our itinerary. I feel powerless to help, immersed in busy work, unable to relieve any of the anguish they're suffering. Now to my list.

Sorry to hear this, V. But you are helping. It's a terrible situation and you're doing all you can. Best wishes and support to you and your family.

Right, handing the logistics is a huge help to all of them.

Brianna crying down the phone.
Totally understandable and I wanted her to let it out. But so sad to hear.
