Bottle

A common occurance lately is to see a discarded bottle floating in the creek or on the side of the road. It was three am and I had a serious delirium working on my mental state; and a bottle started spinning and morphing into a rocket ship. The ship formed before my eyes into a bright lime green beauty of a vessel. The speaker stated that the flight will be leaving as scheduled and all should board appropriately and promptly. I decided well why not! I need a big adventure to tell my grandkids one day. I was fitted with a special space suit and mask. The monitors were all lit and flashing then the count down started. I wanted to run but could not get off the vessel due to the doors had been sealed tight. I said a prayer and closed my eyes as the g-force melted me to the seat with an intensity I had never known before; It was like my eyes were about to explode into space. Suddenly there was silence and weightlessness and I could not comprehend reality. The speaker stated that it would be docking on the moon in one hour and I should be ready for a moon walk. Well who would not want to walk on the moon?? Right on schedule I took a giant leap for women being the first to walk on the moon. Hillary was real mad she couldn't beat me to the door! Bill was still stuck in his seat with Monica. Yep I was glad to catch the morphing bottle late that night...what a wild ride to tell the grandkids!

That was some ride to the moon but trying to beat Hillary to the door. This sounds like some of my dreams they can get pretty wild. I am feeling a bit better today but lungs still are pretty tight. Phyl
