I should really give things titles but I forget...

The coffee drought is over hallelujah, long live the coffee. My hubby's been buying the starbucks coffee for two packages worth of coffee so i haven't been drinking it. We didn't like the first one so he bought a medium roast of starbucks the second time and we didn't like that one either. He's been team it's not that bad with enough creamer and I've been team no matter how much creamer and splenda I add it tastes bitter and awful so I'll just drink Earl Gray hot with lemon.

How they can make such good frappuchinos with that as their base coffee is beyond me. But yesterday during our unexpected jaunt around the store, just as I was settling to do comments and icons up here our friend called and wanted to meet us for food and we hit the store afterwards together I picked up one of the brands we like and tossed in the cart.

So yay coffee!

So a tropical storm formed just outside of Tampa where I live on Monday that was kind of cool. On Sunday according to the weather channel it was just storms not likely to form into anything tropical and then during my insomnia and then nap it formed into a tropical storm... I suppose it's not common for it to just be like Bam tropical storm this far North but it's kinda neat.

I woke up to nightmares and then inadvertently terrified the hell out of my Boo baby. I woke up from dreaming I was getting eaten by alligators to numb arms, got my glasses, noted I didn't hear Ian's alarm but that I still had time to make breakfast and reached out to pet my cat.

He startled awake and I felt so bad. So I scratched his chin a bit, picked him up and carried him to the bathroom where Ian was starting his shower. Ian takes hot showers and it gets very steamy so Mushi (aka Boo) loves to lay on our counter and enjoy his sauna time.

And that's my morning! Good morning! ^_^ I have coffee.

Now to finish setting things up at dailyicons so both communities can wake up from their slumber.

Dreams can sometimes be the weirdest things. I've had pretty interesting dreams that startled me awake and then I'm wondering if that was a (good) dream or if that was a nightmare.

Typically those would make good stories if only I had dreamed more of the story...

I think the worst is waking to them in the middle of the night and then you're unable to fall back asleep as your thoughts inardvently return to that dream even if you try to think of something else.

I hate those nightmares. I had the worst dreams when our cable had a marathon of the true crime series forensic files and I binge watched a bunch of episodes.... And then dreamt I was both the murder victim and the detectives trying to solve my own murder.

Not sure if I ever was both, but I remember once waking myself from a dream because it kept getting interrupted by someone going on a killing spree. Each time I ended up in a new scene and before anything could really start the next guy came up. I swear I woke up because I was fed up with that and the strong feeling that I was dreaming (within the dream).

That never happened again, but I sure could have needed that in some of my dreams. Just standing up and saying, "Screw this! I want a different dream!"

Fortunately, I'm not easily scared by what I watch before sleeping. However, I remember once while I was still at school, I rewatched some tv shows late one Saturday night (Sunday morning?) and I was down right scared to even go to bed. It might have been a Millenium episode. Luckily, another tv show I loved watching came on afterwards and it featured something like a guardian angel. It made it all better.

I've had dreams where I was aware that I was dreaming.

Sadly my mind is very visual which is why I tend to avoid anything that shows lots of blood, guts, and gore visually since my dreams will play those images to me.

[immortalje]

I don't need to see it to visualise it. I just need a random thought (like: "No running with scissors!") to come up with the most gruesome visuals. On the other hand, I can rather easily turn it off again. Sometimes I feel as if I'm more scared of what I can't imagine in detail.

Huzzah coffee! \o/

[dani_meows]

It's so good. ^_^ I forgot how much I love coffee.

Yay for coffee!!! I've never had the ground Starbucks kind before, I guess that's a good thing lmao. But I'm not really one for Starbucks anyway. :P

Be safe out there! It really does seem like the storm came out of nowhere! (My family lives in Florida so I keep a close eye on the weather there, especially this time of year!)

[dani_meows]

Whatever you do don't. It's terrible coffee. :-P

It really did I was reading an article the other day about how rare it is for a tropical storm to form like it did this far North. It was actually quite interesting.

Our family up north are usually the ones who tell us about the upcoming weather.
