Etsy Addiction

So subconsciously, I must be really excited for my big move (which is now happening a day early which means it's only 12 days away now - booyah!). Anyway, the past three (or is it four) nights I've stayed awake until at lest 1 am. It sucks because I'm mentally ready for bed and tired, but physically I'm not the least bit sleepy. So I've resorted to taking Benadryl, which helps, but not quickly enough.

Anyway, in an attempt to combat staying up too late for my old self, I'm not taking a nap today. Which means I'm having to find things to occupy my time. Like dancing in the living room with my iTunes turned way up. And trying to remember the last three or four dances we've learned in dance, however I can't even remember the one last night we did to the True Blood theme song. My brain... I gotta work it out, because I'm starting Grad School in a few weeks.

And I found Etsy. And I bought two bandanas for Nappy from Itsy Bitsy Gatsby (a store owned by a girl with two precious corgis) and some magnets with corgis on them. It's a serious problem. I have so many saved things I need want to buy on there. Also, don't mind me while I become the crazy corgi lady. Or just the crazy Esty addicted grad student. SO MUCH CUTE STUFF.

Mom, I NEED to look cute for my new
friends in FW. Please get me some bandanas.

I guess I could also stalk camp online, but second term started yesterday and I don't know any of those girls, so it's not as much fun as stalking first term.

I'd take Nappy outside to play soccer or frisbee, but it's July in Texas, y'all, and it's just too damn hot. Sunday afternoon there was HOT wind. It was worse than no wind. It was awful. Speaking of hotness and second term, I don't know how those girls do it. Major ups for them because they go to camp during what is arguably the hottest month of the year with no A/C, so let's applaud them.

And now in an effort to not take a nap, I've created the single most random post on this blog. You're welcome.

Dream Journal?

So since I've been out of the hospital (over a month now, yay!), I've had trouble sleeping. I'm on a ton of medicine and I know at least two of them have sleep-related side effects. When I went to my GI two weeks ago, I asked if there was something I could take to help me sleep better at night. He told me taking melatonin (I had asked specifically about that) was fine, but Benadryl might work a little better. So for about a week and a half, I took Benadryl before bed (followed by about an hour of reading the Maze Runner series). Now it might be a combo of the Benadryl and this series, but I'm currently attributing it solely to the Bendryl, but I've had some WEIRD dreams. I thought I'd make a small list of some of the dreams (or fragments of) for your enjoyment, because there's some weird stuff.

• something about a tone deaf singer walking around downtown Fort Worth
• planning a dodgeball tournament with some frat boys at Texas A & M (where I've never actually been - I think it has to do with my campers making their big college decisions all over facebook)
• seeing one of my campers (who recently decided on TCU) at Hobby Lobby and meeting her ENTIRE family (I'm talkin' aunts, uncle, grand parents, cousins, etc)
• I found my several of my campers (one of whom is one of my favorites) doing drugs on a curb outside of a Hobby Lobby
• something about Dance Moms and Chloe (I was definitely stalking the girls on Instagram before bed so that's why this happened)
• Something about missing school and when I went back I couldn't remember my schedule and when I finally got to class we all sat in bathroom stalls...

Also, I quit taking Benadryl for a few nights (and replaced it with melatonin) and the weird dreams continued. I don't even know, you guys. At least it's keeping me entertained?

Do you ever remember your dreams?
