I heard the bell ringing. I got up to snow on the ground. Wind howling. Stanley was ringing the bell. And I couldn't stand up on my legs, let alone "walk." It was 1:45AM.
I put my shoes on. That helped me to ambulate toward the ringing bell. I flipped on the light so I could tell what was going on.
I got the requip and the water to him. I moved on over to "the water closet" and sat for a while. Then I rejoined the scene in the bedroom and turned off the fluorescent light and made my way back to bed for a few more hours of dreaming...
The night before, I had dreamed that I would go to the doctor for the pain in my ankles and he would put me in the hospital. Nightmare. Then I had to get up and organize the papers lying on the bed, file the bill stubbs, get the insurance straightened out and do all the paperwork I hadn't gotten 'round to this year....
At the crack of dawn today I dreamed that I had students sitting at their desks. I gave all my history students a test --- and they wouldn't give it back to me! I walked around and demanded they turn in the tests. I got baby shoes and menus, scraps of paper that looked like bills, but not a single test....
