I took a nap. And had a dream.

In my dream, I got a new bathtub. Everytime I drained the tub, more water flowed in to it. And it was blue water. And I couldn’t get it to only drain. So it was overflowing. So I kept trying to figure it out, but water kept pouring out of the spout. So much water. So so much water….

I woke up and had to pee.

after dinner, see if she feels up for walking for ice cream or dessert or something. and after that, see if she’s up for a bookstore….basically, small stops that can be added along the way if she still feel’s okay being out, but can easily be scrapped if she wants to go home….
