Astronaut

I just woke up from a dream, and found the computer left on...

I'm an astronaut who has just returned from space. I'm in a tiny, sealed up, claustrophobic pod. I can't even turn around. As I try not to freak out, I hear people running around outside, attaching equipment that will open this coffin. I feel like I'm suffocating. Then I hear the man in charge say that he doesn't have the proper authorization paperwork and can't open the unit...

I'm sure at least part of the dream came from something Dennis told me on the way back from our gig. His mother (in her 90s) was sent to the hospital because she wasn't feeling well. So, after sitting in the 'emergency' waiting room for 3 hours, she felt well enough to go home, but the ambulance ride wouldn't be covered by her insurance (and it's a $700 ride). But, there's a medical shuttle bus that's relatively cheap. So, the ambulance company won't send the shuttle without the hospital authorizing it and the hospital refuses to call them...who says we have the best medical system money can buy?
