So I'm awake now, because I had a terrifying dream. I have LOTS of nightmares (always have) but they are usually frustration=scary or real-life-scary rather than supernatural-scary.

It'd had Victorian travel expeditions, weird Lovecraftian begining-of-the-universe-brain-bending, caves, gemstones, cute blonde traveling companions, base camps, psychic communication, alien creatures drilling holes in heads with lazers and also, Jaleel White.

It had a passage in it (that was some sort of glimpsing the aliens (or whatever they were) minds) that I wish I could remember like

"They almost took [word] out of [the universe?] because they could hear the sound of [creation?] without time."

It's making me crazy that I can't remember it, but maybe my waking brain can't handle the concept, just like in the dream.

Sending out much love and strength and good thoughts to all the people on my list who wish they were mamas and haven't got there yet.

"In December I will be
A bobble-bangled Christmas tree
With Soup-Bowls draped all over me!
Merry Once,
Merry Twice,
Merry Chicken Soup with Rice!"

Anyone know where I can find Galium Verum (aka Frigg's Grass aka Lady's Bedstraw aka Yellow Bedstraw), preferably LIVING, but dried would do in a pinch, in Seattle?

I have no words for how upset I am about this:
