No. \u00a0I didn’t guzzle down a bottle of NyQuil. \u00a0Let’s just make that clear from the get go. \u00a0I’ve had a total of two doses using the little measuring cup at the recommend amount throughout this entire awful cold.<\/p>\n

Now that we have that out of the way…<\/p>\n

I had the strangest dream last night and it HAS to be related to NyQuil. \u00a0There’s no other reasonable explanation to a dream this weird. \u00a0See:<\/p>\n

I had a dream that MFH (My Favorite Husband) bought me an Owl. \u00a0Mr. “I don’t like animals in the house” bought me an Owl to be kept In. The. House. \u00a0That, in and of itself it beyond explaining!<\/p>\n

MFH and I (in the dream) were at a flea market type of pet store\/nature trail thingy. \u00a0Hard to explain but that is where we were. \u00a0We had been enjoying all the different animals. \u00a0There were Owls, Fox, Chipmunks…all sorts of wildlife. \u00a0No cute puppies or kittens. \u00a0Just wildlife.<\/p>\n

The wild life were housed in felt bags with drawstrings. \u00a0If you wanted to view a Fox, the person working there would select the felt bag holding the Fox and take the Fox out. \u00a0You could pet the Fox. \u00a0You could hold the Fox! \u00a0When were were done, the person would put the Fox back in the Felt bag.<\/p>\n

This is how it was for every animal there. \u00a0Including the Owls.<\/p>\n

I was intrigued by the Owls. \u00a0They had all different sorts of Owls in felt bags but one particular Owl I really, really liked. It was friendly! \u00a0I told MFH that it was nice and maybe someday we could get an Owl.<\/p>\n

Remember, this is a dream!<\/p>\n

We went toward the check out and there were all of these felt bags handing on a display. \u00a0They had tags telling you which animals were in the bags. \u00a0There was that Owl I had liked!<\/p>\n

MFH and I opened the felt bag but all that was in it was a piece of something that looked like Amber. \u00a0We were puzzled. \u00a0We asked the cashier about the Amber. \u00a0We were told that it was a dehydrated Owl. \u00a0We had to take the Amber home, add the required amount of water and it would turn into the Owl.<\/p>\n

Remember, this is a dream!<\/p>\n

Well, I thought that was pretty cool! \u00a0It reminded me of those Sea Monkeys. \u00a0Remember those?<\/p>\n

\"sea_large\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I always wanted some of those! \u00a0Dehydrated brine shrimp or something. \u00a0Well, this was the dehydrated Owl version of Sea Monkeys.<\/p>\n

When I wasn’t looking, MFH bought me one of those dehydrated Owls. \u00a0The kind that I had liked in the felt bag. \u00a0I was super excited! \u00a0We brought it home and added water. \u00a0Sure enough! \u00a0It turned into an Owl!!!<\/p>\n

Soon, we had a large brown owl flying all over the house.<\/p>\n

\"owl_horned\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Owl got hungry. \u00a0One of the promises you made when you purchased your dehydrated Owl was that you would keep it inside. \u00a0Always. \u00a0That meant a trip to the pet store for Owl food. \u00a0The people with the felt bags recommended frozen mice, so we bought a bunch or frozen mice to feed our dehydrated brown Owl.<\/p>\n

\"frozen-mouse\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dehydrated brown Owl really liked the frozen mice and was happy but like every creature on the planet, well, it pooped all over the house. \u00a0That wasn’t so great. \u00a0I was cleaning up after my dehydrated brown owl…a lot!<\/p>\n

I don’t know how many of you know about the digestive system of Owls? \u00a0They deposit “pellets” after eating. \u00a0Basically anything that the Owl cannot digest, they bring back up and leave it behind. \u00a0This is usually the skeletal system of their dinner.<\/p>\n

\"pellet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My dehydrated brown Owl was getting to be a pain. \u00a0I couldn’t let it out and I was cleaning up after it like crazy! \u00a0I’ve never been so happy to wake up from a dream in all my life! \u00a0Hahaha!!!<\/p>\n

That is my weird dream from last night. \u00a0Tonight? \u00a0NO NyQuil.<\/p>\n
