On Friday, I had my tonsillectomy which has been pretty painful. I can't eat actual ice cream so that sucks and Jenn brought me some Ralph's italian ice's which I've barely been able to enjoy because even that hurts to swallow. I usually take my pain medication and wait about a half hour to eat because it helps ease the eating process. My meals have consisted of jell-o, mashed potatoes, mashed squash and scrambled eggs. It takes me about 30 minutes to actually eat and then I'm pretty sleepy from the medication. I was taking these pills called hydro-apap which weren't helping so I switched to the liquid codeine which is now making me have these crazy, crazy, dreams.
On Saturday night I dreamt I was with my cousins and a friend of my cousin's in this white van. We were supposedly baking out the car and then my dad popped out of no where. Why we were smoking at the train station and in this white van..I don't know. Anywho, next thing I know my dad is laughing at us and walks away but then my aunt comes out of nowhere and asks us what we're doing and she sniffs the car and says "oohhmyygoodnissss" and my dad comes back with a chancleta (sandal) in hand and starts beating me. Bizzare? A wee bit.
Then, last night, I dreamt I was back in the classroom student teaching on my last day except the classroom looked a lot like my old high school classroom. Well, I think this was triggered by the fact that I was looking at grad schools last night. Anywho, so, I was in the classroom and suddenly this rat comes out from underneath the heater and starts jumping at me like a dog and is trying to sit on my lap. In the dream, (which starts in the May/spring setting) I started screaming and running down the hall sort of the way my host teacher did when she saw the dead mice in our room. Then, I saw my first host teacher and she starts asking me what I had learned from her and what lesson I intended on using for halloween (Idk..time travel?) and I really wish I remembered the specifics but I explained it all confidently and she was said, "wow, I'd love to use that lesson..do you mind?" and I was replied with "guuurrl pleaseee- my lesson is your lesson!" Following this crazy dream, I woke up at 8:08 realizing I had actually slept through my time of needing to take my dose of medication. I was so out of it that I slept for another hour and a half and finally took something at 10. Now, I'm probably going to pass out again because I feel the medication kicking in (aka...I'm getting sleepy).
