Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story.

I've been taking my melatonin (sleep aid) the past few nights to make sure I get to sleep in a reasonable time (I usually stay awake well past midnight, sometimes as late as 3:00 am, regardless of when I actually go to bed). Something I've noticed about melatonin, you relax, you get to sleep at a decent time, then you wake up wide awake, refreshed, and ready to go... at midnight. So I've been getting to bed on time, but I've been going to sleep two or three times every night before the alarm rings.

Had a weird dream last night too.

Mom, Dad, and Katie were down here, and we were getting ready to board the ferry to the south island, but Katie and I were looking around the town (there isn't really a town around the ferry docks, so I don't know what we were looking at) so the ferry left without us. So we bribed some random fisherman to take us over in his boat (which wouldn't have survived the waters in the channel in real life) On the way we got into a battle with some lizard people that apparently lived under the earths surface. I remember I kept shooting them in the head and they wouldn't die, so I asked them where their brains were.
We got to the south island eventually and continued our battle. The ferry arrived after us, then decided to turn right around given the circumstances (a lot more lizard folk had shown up).
Apparently these lizard people were also shape changers and they turned into these large colorful (like neon green and baby blue) fluffy arachnid things. So we went out of our hiding place (we had holed up inside a gas station) and said that if they'd stop attacking us then we'd stop killing them (we had really only managed to kill two, and I'm not really sure that they were all the way dead, but the fuzzy spiders took it pretty hard). Any way they seemed to agree, then one of them seemed to realize that they now had us surrounded and outnumbered so they started to attack. None of them turned back into lizard which is strange considering spiders are pretty easy to step on. But I started yelling "Oath breaker's" at them, and they apparently have a real big sense of honor, because that really freaked them out and they started running away and crying apologies in their little hissy spider voices. So they all loaded up onto a bus to go away, and one of the guys that was bunkered down in the gas station with us was trying to convince his mother in law that she was a lizard person and should get on the bus with them.
