A Muse at Advent: December 23

Have you ever woken up laughing? I have more often than is probably considered normal. I guess Thalia doesn’t sleep and gets bored.

My childhood and adulthood meet behind door number 23.

December 23, 2024

I had a dream that I was being interviewed by a reporter who also happened to be a Muppet. She was a pig with a black bob haircut and wore a trench coat. I asked her if she was Miss Piggy and she said, exactly like Miss Piggy would, “No, I am not. I am Christiane Amanpork. I must go now. And you need to renew your passport.” I woke up and, appropriately, snorted.

Apparently, Thalia talks to my subconscious, too. This behind-the-scenes partnership successfully found a way to get me to follow through with the paperwork. Well played.

My passport photo also turned out pretty amusing.
