A love like ours is love that's hard to find... how could we let it slip away
I had a dream last night about having a big party at my house, the night after another party. I wasn't home early in the day, and I started getting phone calls from people who were already on their way, wanting directions. I started to tell one of them that I wasn't home, but then I looked at the clock - - it was 8:30! I headed home very quickly. A few people arrived. For some reason, my pockets were full of keys and cell phones. I started to pull them out to see whose they were. At one point Dorothy called me on my phone to see if I had seen Squared. Apparently _she_ was having a party that night and was looking to see if he was coming. She made some comment apologizing for her party drawing people away from mine. I was a little irritated that she kept planning parties on the same nights as mine.
A couple people managed to identify some of the phones and keys, and they took them to return them to their owners. One person said a particular phone was Mego's, and asked for it to give it back to her, but they didn't really know her that well so I said I would just return it myself. One set of keys went with one of the phones (don't ask me how I knew). The set of keys said they belonged to Amanda... I used the cell phone to call my phone to see what number came up, and I realized it was Sarah's phone and she had borrowed the keys from her friend Amanda.
And then the doorbell rang and there was some kind of government agent at the door. (FWIW, I was renting a house from my actual landlady, but it looked like my parents' house.) I panicked at first, but he was actually from the county and wanted to talk to me about drainage on my property. He walked me out to the front yard... most of our front yard was done with rocks, like Ofir's house. Apparently our rocks went too far down and were interfering with draining, which was against certain county ordinances. The guy was pretty friendly, though he seemed a little clueless. He gave me a brochure showing the problems and explaining the laws, and I promised to notify Brenda right away.
Now, here's where it gets bad. When we were walking out front, the guy accidentally bumped into a fire ant mound. I was like "Oh no! Fire ants!" and he just kind of ignored it... as a few started to come out of the mound... and a few more... until there was a SWARM of them coming out and after us. I freaked out as he nonchalantly walked back to the house. I was running but I could barely outrun the swarm. I had to walk through them at one point and I could feel myself getting bitten all over my legs. I picked up one leg... and then I picked up the other... and I realized I could just swim through the air if I kept moving and held on to the tree branches, using them to guide me and using them as leverage. (Part of my brain realized I was dreaming at this point. Wish I could have held onto that!) I got into the house, and the swarm followed me into the house! But as soon as they got past the door most of them disappeared/dissipated, leaving only a few in the house. (When it comes to fire ants, though, a few is too many...)
