I had a very weird dream before I woke up! Here’s a little of what I remember…

I joined some kind of military labor unit, but the drill sergeant wasn’t mean or anything, though he wanted us to act accordingly. I was bunking with a man who was my SO (but it wasn’t the hubby?), but I thought it would be better for me to room with another woman. (The whole thing felt like a movie and I was the main chick.) While I was out (on my way to class?), I ran into a guy who was played by Ryan Gosling! I had to help him for some reason and I barely made it back to the military unit before my next duty assignment.

Hmm, doesn’t sound like I remembered as much I thought I would. I do know that Ryan Gosling was in the dream! 😉

Notes: Setbacks for Mulder, Hudson

Pitchers to miss their scheduled turns in the rotation 🙁 I’m sad. I hope they both get better VERY soon…

I’m getting sick of all the virus emails I’m getting! And then I’m getting those “unable to send your message” emails, as if I sent strangers a virus! So some person out there has my email addy in their address book and they opened the virus email they got from someone else and then the virus goes on and emails itself out to the people in the address book. Grrrr!

Work was annoying me today (Wednesday). I got SLAMMED after dinner and it just wasn’t pretty. I think I got a little testy, but I couldn’t help it. In the end, I finished my work on time and I was out of the building just five minutes or so after I usually leave. So not all so bad, eh?

I’m glad my A’s have won these past two games. I drove the truck yesterday and today and I think I’ll take it again. I just like having a license plate that says “I (heart) THE A’S.” LOL!

Notes: Hudson on track

Right-hander intent on starting Thursday vs. Boston I’m glad for Hudson. 😀 I hope he definitely makes his next start!

But I’m sad about Adam Piatt. 🙁

Piatt claimed: Outfielder Adam Piatt, designated for assignment by the A’s last Wednesday, was claimed by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Tuesday, bringing an end to his career as an Athletic.

I wish Piatt lots of luck! It’s too bad he couldn’t shine with the A’s…

Oakland blasts into Wild Card lead
A’s win, but Mulder leaves early with hip strain

Yes, I’m glad the A’s won, but rat bastards!!! Mulder’s got a hip strain? I send good vibes his way.
