The plan for today’s post was to just do like an update/vlog thing, but I decided to just do a recap of the incredibly strange night I had. Last night was really rough for me. I’m not really sure why, but it ended up being a really terrible time. I have really rough sleeping habits to start with, staying up until ungodly hours, and then sleeping most of the day. I justify this by saying that when I work the late shift at work, it keeps me really perky for dealing with guests. But that’s not really a good justification.

The first thing that happened was that we caught a mouse. We don’t have a mouse ‘problem’ really, just a couple. We have out a snap trap and that appears to be enough. So far we’ve caught a couple of mice, and it’s been no big deal. Beth doesn’t like to deal with the mice or traps or anything, so I do it, which is fine. Well, last night, I was lying in my bed, when I heard the click of the trap. There was indeed a mouse in trap. For some reason, I was just overcome with emotion. I’m not an emotional person, usually, but this just cut through me. I sat on my kitchen floor and was sad. For about a half an hour. Terrible. I'm really happy Beth wasn't awake at the time. I just don't get it! I'm not even a huge lover of animals. It was just sad.

After that whole ordeal with the mouse was over, I went to bed right away. It was then that I had the weirdest dream. I’m not sure if this was related to the mouse, but it was like the oddest nightmare I’ve ever had. It was about the Muppets, in a Dickensian sort of building (Think Oliver Twist’s workhouse) where they would eat people, and hold people hostage in exchange for writing books, but had this big shiny Muppet museum that was gathering dust. It turns out that Fozzy was the mastermind behind the whole creepy-workhouse-cannibalism party. Weird. I used to get night terrors, but they were nothing like this.

In terms of an update, the August Spending Ban is going well. Any product reviews you see are things I've gotten for free, or bought before the 1st of August. Summer is starting to wind down. I'm going home to see my parents in a couple of weeks, so look forward to some exciting vacation posts (hopefully from the beach). Our other roommate is moving in the week after that, which will also be really exciting. After a few months of just me and Beth, I'm looking forward to switching it up a little.

That’s about it for today. I’ve been working a lot lately, coupled with getting over my illness, so I’m probably going to go have a nap before running into work. I tried to do an outfit of the day yesterday, but my camera would cooperate, so hopefully that will get sorted out and I can do some of those for you!

Do you ever have any weird dreams? Are they that weird?
