some kind of chain link fence, I think. In the dream, I was crowded with a large amount of people. Saying that we were "elbow to elbow" would be an understatement. I remember we were all jammed in there tight. I was stumbling and being pushed forward in the wave of bodies. I think we were trying to get to someone, or maybe get away from something. I stop and try to think of what else happened but nothing comes to mind. I'm hungry and drawing a blank. I continue my voyage to the kitchen.
      The television catches my eye as I enter the living room. What's on the "Death and Destruction Network?" I think to myself cynically upon noticing that the news is on. Another Ebola outbreak in the United States. It is somewhat troublesome but there is no way that virus would make it over here. Not in this city, anyway. They are always trying to scare people with something. Everyone freaks out and gets prepared for some ridiculous crackpot version of what they think is going to happen. Then, surprise! Nothing ever happens. I have a whole lot more to focus on then some Y2K nonsense and I am willing to bet money that she's cooking bacon for me, right now. 
      Upon entering the kitchen I'm pleased to find that my prediction was spot on. The bacon pops like fire crackers in the frying pan. Standing elegantly in front of the stove is my beautiful fiancé. She looks at me with a heart melting smile and I grin boyishly. The ambiance of the moment takes me away into sweet nostalgia. Moments after sunrise, next to a lake. We were cooking a grand feast of breakfast goods over a large skillet on a portable propane burner. We had planned for months to go camping, just the two of us, for a weekend. When the stars aligned and we both managed to get the coinciding time off, we took the opportunity for the getaway. I remember we had to turn around a few times. You know how men can be with asking for directions. We finally found where we were going. A stunning lake nestled away in fields of hilly greenery. We had about two minutes to enjoy its beauty before the rain began to pour down with biblical ferocity. It was quite the uphill struggle for two people, not experienced with the outdoors, setting up a tent in the intense downpour. We assembled it as quickly as possible and darted inside. Neither one of us were particularly bothered by the situation. Instead, we laughed and enjoyed the moment for what it was; perfection. We kept each other warm through the night and woke up to a beautiful morning. A simple trip that I will never forget.
      On that note, I shake off the grogginess of poor sleep and go to get the newspaper. It is weird going from worried every single day about all the stuff that needs to get done, to bored and content. I can handle bored and content. I think I will adjust quite nicely to the lifestyle. I walk into to warmth of the sun. There isn't a cloud in the sky today. The grass in the front yard is still surprisingly green considering that the shock of fall is already starting to claim the trees in everyone's yards. What was Penelope's flourishing garden is now dried stalks and bushes of flowers that have lost their life. The small metal border we set up around the garden is bent to shit on one side. It is likely that a neighbor's dog was getting after a bird or a squirrel. There's always a possibility it was the little neighbor boy that we've caught before trying to peek in on Penelope when she's walking around the house with no top on. I guess, I can't really blame the little guy. None the less, we took him to his parents and told them what he did. I was embarrassed for the poor kid but Penelope insisted. Whatever made her feel better.
      I laugh out loud to myself and search the lawn for the paper. No paper to be found. I walk out to the driveway and look up and down the sidewalk. The paper boy must've gotten delayed. It happens. Before going back inside, I check around the yard and up the tree for the cat. He's nowhere in sight
