Education leads to wacky dreams

My sister is working on a nursing degree, taking courses both through Mount Royal and by correspondence, as her schedule allows. Right now she's finishing up a course on Community Education or some such, so she dragooned some of us into helping her out. Last night, we sipped tea and ate cookies while she updated us on Breast Self Awareness. It really wasn't that painful and I always like a chance to see the kids too.

However, I was having weird dreams last night, where I was working in a doctor's office and there was this whole parade of animals and insects coming in with breast cancer. Hamsters, bees, ferrets, tortoises (tortoi?) and I don't remember what else, all with breast cancer. I've lost the details but it was strange. On the sort of plus side, when the alarm went off this morning, Stuart started muttering about how it was lucky we had doctors when the radioactive aliens showed up (or something like that), so I guess the pre-race dream insanity has finally hit him as well.

In further race news, the forecast for this weekend in Crowsnest Pass is going up, resulting in increased complaining from Stuart. He was hoping for about +14 and cloudy; it's looking like he'll get +24 and sunny. Pack the sunblock and drink lots of water folks!
