Woke up with the alarm, and it was grey and cold, mouth dry, dragged myself out of bed all groggy-like, and it slowly came to me that I’d just been having a dream about the ex-boyfriend in which he said he was seeing someone new, and to which I’d responded, “Oh, yeah?, well, uh, me too, I have a new boyfriend,” eyes darting around, that sort of thing, trying to make up some great new beau. Which is not the best way to get up in the morning. Anyway, so then as I’m brushing my teeth and cursing the ex for still being in my head, I realize that what happened in the dream to make me respond with “Me too, I have a new boyfriend,” was that he’d said: “I have a new boyfriend.” WHOA!! And then there were widened eyes looking back at me in the bathroom mirror, and then there was larfing and larfing all over, and the day began anew.
