Aw purrs that it's just the change in the seasons and not some
forewarning of possible illness.

If I pay attention I can tell when the weather is going to change by
watching LB and Rocky - Sammy seems to be useless for weather
forecasting (except for a couple hours before thunderstorms) -
probably since she has never had to worry about finding shelter in the
OUT.

Awwww, purrs for Pearl.  I hope she's feeling better by now.

I had a very bizarre dream last night. Some of it was a bit creepy, but
I wouldn't call it a nightmare. There were some lovely parts to it, too.

It started out in an old apartment of mine. This weird guy kept coming
in and hanging out in different rooms, hiding expertly whenever I or my
old roommate went to look for him. It wasn't clear what he wanted. We
were a bit unnerved by it, but didn't feel exactly threatened by him
either. I got the feeling he just wanted to be there, to feel like he
belonged somewhere.

Finally I got sick of it and called the cops. The guy figured it out and
was out of there fast. So I followed him into a hallway (which never
actually existed in that building, of course - it was more like a hallway
in a school than in an apartment bldg). A bunch of people were milling
around. I kept spotting the "stalker" guy, and then he'd disappear.

Then I saw him run into another apartment and shut the door. I followed
him, but couldn't get in because the door was locked. So I sat on the floor
in front of the door, hoping a cop would come by so I could tell them their
man was in there. Suddenly, I heard noises like a baby whimpering, and the
next I knew, two babies crawled out from under the door. One of the babies
was normal-sized for an infant, and the other was the size of a small kitten.
Both looked human, though. I was quite puzzled about that, and was trying
to figure out which one was the correct size for a human infant. :) Also,
I looked under the door again and there was Roxy, looking a bit nervous, but
not sure she wanted to come out. That really worried me - I was afraid the
weirdo would hurt her. But I managed to grab her and pull her out of the
apartment.

I went back to my apartment with the two babies and Roxy. The rest of the
dream focused a lot on the normal-sized baby, who was a little black girl
with a really sweet smile. Every time I looked at her, she'd smile and
giggle, which made me totally happy. I became very attached to her - played
with her, cooed at her, hugged and kissed her, gave her some food, etc. Her
parents had gone out of town, and although I thought it was odd that they'd
left their babies alone, I wasn't horrified by it. I was more concerned that
they'd come home and find the weirdo guy in their apartment and think he'd
done something to their kids. Eventually they did come back and I brought
them their little girl. No idea what happened to the miniature baby!

Joyce - with 3 miniature babies sacked out on various surfaces. Perhaps
   dreaming of giant babies? :)
