I had a dream...
I woke this morning from a dream that started out inocuous enough--- I was house sitting for my inlaws and I could NOT get the damn television to work properly. The satellite wouldn't lock on to the signal and I kept thinking, "You should know how to do this already. Your family has been doing this for twenty years, think you idiot!" So I gave up and went into the kitchen to do dishes.
My mother-in-law showed up as I was frantically cleaning up the kitchen, and when I turned to say hello to her, instead of finding my father-in-law standing behind her there was my grandpa Boyd. He took me into the bathroom because the cistern was leaking and I had to help him lift it to reseat it. (I'm not a plumber, but this made sense in dreamland) Then we were both down on our knees mopping up the mess together (another miracle of dreamland in my case)(the bending over, not the cleaning). As we mopped up the nasty water, dust, and cat hair we talked to eachother, not really saying anything that I can recall. At some point I noticed that he was separating what looked like the seeds of a dandelion from the rest of the mess. I asked him and he said he was saving them. But, at the moment he turned to tell me, his breath sent the seeds soaring into the air and they floated away high above us on the gust of his breath.
Then I woke up. I was just warm all over and happy.
