This morning I kept falling asleep and waking up over and over. I needed to put stocking stuffers in bags today, but I was worried that the bags I had purchased weren't large enough. I had some large cloth Santa sacks from previous Christmases in storage, so I had a backup plan, but I kept dreaming that something was wrong with the Santa sacks each time I fell back asleep. Either I couldn't find them, or moths had eaten them, or I had only kept two instead of three, or something equally problematic. I finally got up for good and checked the bags which I had bought, and indeed they were too small. I found the Santa sacks, and they hadn't been eaten by moths or anything, but I still had hopes of getting paper Christmas-themed bags, particularly because I'd used the Santa sacks before and didn't want to repeat myself. So I check the weather. It's raining. Check the radar map and it's only going to get worse. So I grabbed my umbrella, cart, and stuff to protect any Christmas bags from the rain and headed to the dollar store. I got to the dollar store and all the Christmas stuff was gone, replaced by Valentine's Day stuff. Crestfallen, I shuffled over to Target with slim hopes. I came to the last aisle of the Christmas remnants, and there they had Santa-themed jumbo paper gift bags! I was so lucky. But the morning nightmares were a real damper this morning.
