I was home alone and I heard movement outside. I looked out one of the windows and saw Dad setting the house on fire &#8211; he had barred the doors on the ground floor, set the whole perimeter of the house on the fire, and left Venna &#038; I inside.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; WTF?<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Worse, even though I was able to grab my &#8220;Important Documents&#8221; file, my wedding ring, and Venna before I escaped &#8230; when the cops, fire department, and media arrived they were billing it as this horrible accident.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; No one believed me. (Except Mark, and probably Venna).<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Mom accused me of airing family business on Facebook (which some one had done using MY account, but it wasn&#8217;t actually me). She was talking to Aunt Donna on the phone and told her I was lying about the whole thing.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; People on FB and Twitter and stuff had sent the news story viral and EVERYONE had an opinion about what a sweet man my father was to try and SAVE me from the house fire (that was probably my fault anyway) and what a lying See-You-Next-Tuesday I was for exploiting him on the internet. Social Media HATED me.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Everyone thought I was lying.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; And I somehow (because that&#8217;s how dreams work, right?) was in the next room while they were interrogating Dad and he was being this HUGE prick &#8211; like, saying things he would never have really said &#8211; to the detective. Calling him a woman, asking him if (when he confronted him) he was trying to grow some balls under his tits&#8230; telling people he had forged his signature by accident on the official reports, but in truth it was to avoid perjury&#8230; It was totally NOT my Daddy, but anyway&#8230;<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dreams are weird, effed-up things. Now I&#8217;ve woken up grumpy and feeling quite entirely hated by the entire world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/signature.jpg\" alt=\"Signed, Josie\" width=\"92\" height=\"139\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13\"\/><br \/>\n<i>Note: Image is &#8220;dices&#8221; by (tijmen) from SXC.hu<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Have you ever had a horrible dream &#8211; not like, demons and werewolves and scary things eating you &#8211; but rather one that has a lot of real-life features and just awful implications &#038; consequences? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#8230; I had a dream last night where Mark &#038; I (and Venna) lived&hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/2014\/05\/unsweet-dreams\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94,1],"tags":[44,162,214,3,96,21],"class_list":["post-1085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-list","category-uncategorized","tag-dad","tag-dream","tag-life","tag-mark","tag-mom","tag-venna","xfolkentry","clearfix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1085"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1085\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1087,"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1085\/revisions\/1087"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jeezjosie.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
