Pelagia Noctiluca

Tuesday, December 7

Awake?

There's a beetle in the bed! There's a beetle in the bed!

No. There isn't. You're just dreaming.

No! There's a beetle in the bed! There's a beetle in the bed!

No. There isn't. You are just dreaming. Be quiet.

But look! Right there, how do you know I'm just dreaming?

Because the beetle you're looking at is on a hardwood floor, and you are in bed. You are dreaming.

Oh. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is this your dog's internal monologue? Because I swear it's mine. If it's your internal monologue, you and Charyb will get along really well.

Lucy is more aware than this. This is me, out loud, waking myself up the other night. Luckily, my saner identity was there to de-escalate me with reason. I went back to sleep, while she probably did some budgeting or wrote shopping lists.

ps, my word verification is "resticks" If it don't stick the first time, just stick it again!
