Jesus-Dog

"$72 dollars due"
-Dentist's bill I received yesterday in the mail (despite the fact that I paid, in full, the day I got the filling).

Netflix is pissing me off again. Most of the time when I send a DVD back, I get a new one two days later - i.e. I send one back on Monday, and get a new one Wednesday. However, they've fallen behind again. Last week I sent DVDs back on Fri. & Sat. Today, Thursday, is when I'm supposed to get my fresh DVDs. Almost a whole week's wait. Bastards.

So, for someone who doesn't have recurring dreams, I've been having a lot of them lately. One theme that keeps coming up is Highlander, the other is my now-deceased dog. Except, she's not dead in the dreams. In the dreams, I have a Jesus-dog. I know she died, yet there she is, alive and well. In one, it was like her death actually was good for her because she was healthier after she was buried than before. In another (which I had just a few days ago), not only was she alive and well, she had puppies. Of course, they weren't quite right - all hairless and pink with legs so small as to be almost invisible, in short, mammal catepillars. I think part of it is that, even now, when I go over to my parents' house, I still expect her to come to the door. I still find myself looking through the window for her as I walk to the porch. Every now and again, I even almost ask my mom how the dog's doing. It keeps making me sad, to think that I don't have a dog any more.

I wonder how long the dreams will last.
