dream #1: visiting cousins, the ones closest to my age, somewhere unfamiliar. we're all adults, and all hanging out in what seems to be a basement rec-room area, with another big room attached where we sleep. i remember we were outside for part of the dream, and then in the rec room, and then talking till we fell asleep. i guess we were loud, because my uncle came downstairs and told us that the next person who he heard upstairs was going to get the "certificate" -- whatever that meant, and i didnt get to ask, because Chester the Asshole woke me up.

dream #2: travelling thru some odd alternate universe with a definitely thinner Nala, we were not quite fugitives, but were being hunted down by the government for something we didn't do. people were helping us to get away, but eventually we got caught, and then the government agents were helping us to get away, too, but it involved going through an underground and underwater route, in which i had to swim, and i was freaking out because i didnt know how far it was or how long i would have to hold my breath or even if i would survive, and i couldnt calm down. nala was already gone, and i'm standing above the water-filled tunnel entrance with two guards telling me to jump in and our guide yelling at me to jump in, that i would be fine, but i was petrified because i AM petrified of swimming and getting stuck underwater and drowning (BECAUSE I CANT SWIM!). Again, no resolution, because Chester the Asshole woke me up.

*shudder* That one was just creepy in so many ways.

And no, I'm not planting THAT kind of garden.

So, anyway -- last night ("CINCO DE MAYO! WOOHOO!") the neighbors were throwing a party (loud, but apparently not too loud because the fan masked enough that I slept.) I got a shopping list made, and managed to get 5 plants in, and some weeds pulled (thousands more to go), everything watered and fertilized, and the deck furniture out. And, at the same time, got 4 loads of laundry done.

Tonight, after work and before the concert, I still have to mow grass, and try to plant some more stuff. And maybe get a couple things loaded in my truck. I'm meeting the Fab Mrs. T at her place and then going to see the Ryan Adams show at PromoW.

Tomorrow morning, I need to keep planting stuff, and finish loading the truck, before heading to the West Sieeeeeeeeeeed to pick up Mrs. Premise's and the Picketts' construction waste, and then on to breakfast/brunch at Tommy's.

And, by the way, thanks to Ohio Jay, I not only have more info about dog urine, but also remembered to look for the plants marked as animal deterrents. I think stonecrop or something that looks very similar is what keeps animals away. We'll need some for around the vegetable garden, too.
