ALLERGY SEASON  I had a really strange dream last night.  I woke up in the middle of the night to get something or do something in the kitchen and after a minute or two realized my electric was out.  Then there was kind of a party going on in my apartment.  The place was being renovated in all kinds of vibrant colors and everything was being surfaced in formica.  There was one section done in green—kind of a lime-y green with walls patterned in kind of 50s style boomerangs; one section - the dining area? - was in periwinkle with solid periwinkle cabinets and white/periwinkle wallpaper (vinyl wall covering).  But the kitchen was the same—that hadn’t been renovated yet.  And in the living room was this party going on.  A bunch of people who were rehearsing a show—they were wearing costumes and having a good time (no, not a costume party, a costume rehearsal) and then when I realized the electricity was out (but was there, I think, someone asleep in the bedroom?)  Anyhow, I called Con Ed and as I was talking to them Roseann interrupted (she was the landlady or super I think) that they turned off the wrong tenant.  Anyhow.  I had to wait for the electricity to come back on.  But I couldn’t email my boss to tell her I couldn’t come in because because my bberry was not charged and when I tried to call I got one of the guys on dispatch who put me through to my parents?  I tried to call my boss directly by dialing the number on the palm of my hand (this was a very very weird dream) but kept getting my parents.

When I woke it took me a minute to realize it was a dream and that I wasn’t out of work today.

The last few days I’ve had a nasty post-nasal drip that’s giving me a scratchy throat.  I’ve gargled with salt water a few times but that’s not helping all that much.  I’ll have to go to Duane Reade and get throat lozenges and find out if Claritin or Claritin D is okay to take—have to see if it interferes with my wellbutrin.
