We are moving. At least it's a short move, same building just upstairs. 650sq feet instead of 450sq feet, and a bedroom.

A combination of looking at potential trips to Mexico and watching Ozark on Netflix gave me a dream last night.

I was money laundering for some gang and I'd fallen out with them, needing to raise lots of cash to save my skin.

It involved claiming lots of refunds from Amazon but the refunds were in chosen currencies. The major difficulty was that the currencies had to "make sense" with the associated purchases.

It was immensely complicated, I had to almost complete the refund claims before I could see what currencies were available and sometimes I'd have to start again if the choice wasn't a good one.

Nearly right. At least, unlike these other heathens, you do the cuffs before the rest of the sleeve. But you really need to buck your ideas up, Sunshine, if you think it's acceptable to iron either side of the front before you've done the back! What on earth are you thinking?

Either stay off the jazz cigarettes or call Saul Goodman and he can set up a money laundering scheme for you to live out this fantasy.

Wow Bristol. Too much caffeine at night doesn't suit you!

I used to regularly dream I had killed my ex mother in law and hidden her body under the bed. I never knew how to dispose of the body... that dream came back time and time again during my marriage. Thank goodness my ex and I divorced or I might have dreamt up the perfect method and done it for real! 😱

The thing that baffles me, it that there are a few high end clothing retailers in the downtown core, they market some really high quality clothes, and Ive never seen anyone wearing the stuff! Its even strongly marketed on local radio too! Its one of lifes real mysteries of how they stay in business!

I am a planner which is probably why it was so difficult to figure out what to do with the body. I had vivid dreams at times where I would try to work out if I could get her out from under the bed and put her in a suitcase to get her out of the house. I even put her in the freezer several times as I didn't want the house to smell!

...I am so relieved I don't have those dreams anymore! lol
