I had a nightmare last night....

Ok.. maybe not a nightmare, but it was weird from the get-go. I do not usually watch much TV, but in the last month or so I have been watching more than I have in years. I have been making a point of taking in shows I normally would not watch, including a couple reality shows to see what on earth so many people have been talking about and watching things I know I would not approve of to see if they could sway my opinion of certain things (like "Toddlers & Tiara's"). Generally when I watch TV, it is TLC, Discovery, the Classic movie channel or the news..

I have only watched this show twice and not recently, so maybe a commercial for it triggered something to dream about.. but I dreamed the Duggar's (of "18 kids and Counting"), asked me to help them build a farm from scratch.. IN a wooded area.

They wanted a round yurt type house out of wood and I am trying to figure out how to take a plan made for a family of 3 or so into a home large enough for 20 people, guests and whatever family members arrive in the future. Thankfully other than the general layout of the house, I did not have to do any architectural drawings. I had to choose of what to clear and what to leave natural. What they were wanting to have for garden, orchards, natural areas, livestock and such. Areas for the littler ones to stay safe in so they were not just wandering all over the farm. Some of the dream was a comedy of errors, some was brain twisting, some of it innovative and all of it was odd to dream about. But it was also kinda fun.

I must have been really tired last night. I wanted to go to bed about 7 pm, and forced myself to stay up until much later so that I slept all night. I vaguely remember having to trudge to the loo about 1 am and then suddenly became WAY MORE awake as I realized that I locked the door and shut it.. which would have been no issue had I actually still been IN the bathroom. So I have to find a paperclip and unlock the bathroom door at some point today. Happily there are a couple other bathrooms to choose from until then.
