i'm a little constipated. i suppose it's the tums i took the other day. that made me feel a little bloated last night, and i actually had to stop to sit down while i was doing the dishes. i feel asleep and was out for the morning.

i still need to pass the pasta from yesterday, but i'm looking and feeling substantively better. i will need another day or two to clean up and may be able to get out to the next step by monday.

the losers are still here and still talking to me.

i had a weird dream where cattle rushing into a local river turned into dogs, and one of them became a pitbull and attacked one of the dogs in my house when i was a teenager, minnie. my childhood dog, goldie, tried to intervene, but the pitbull succeeded in killing minnie and we had to intervene to save goldie. we then buried minnie in the river. i woke up feeling disturbed and upset, but it passed quickly enough once i realized i was awake. i also had weird dreams about islamic radicals storming my apartment. if they drugged me with something that knocked me right out and came in here when i was out cold, would i dream about it? it again left me feeling a little uncomfortable. i feel ok. no headaches. the window i'm worried about is closed shut. i need some coffee.

i have no idea what they were trying to generate, but that's what they got.
