I'm moving to the other coast this summer. Meet me along the way or come for the whole ride.

seriously. were there ever two more wonderful creations?I don't know much about the laws of motion, but this much I know mathematically speaking.
Given:
I made some cookie dough yesterday (for making cookies)
There is a mouse in my house that likes to hide out under the stove
I don't like the mouse and want to make it uncomfortable for the mouse to be under the stove
Turning on the stove makes the mouse uncomfortable
Turning on the stove facilitates baking cookies
Using a cookie sheet to bake several cookies is more clean up than using a small pan to bake one large cookie the size of your face
Eating a cookie the size of your face is delicious with cold milk from the carton
Eating a cookie the size of your face necessitates exercise
Running for 40 minutes and then stepping into a pothole and rolling your ankle 1/2 a block away from your apt is painful.
Therefore:
cookies = pain
sweet, delicious pain
one day i went on a lovely weekend trip to utah. i came back to nyc and was really tired. i took a little nappy when i came home. when i woke up, i checked my work email and commenced work. turns out i wasn't totally awake as i was doing this as evidenced by the following email:
Hi Anu,
So I just wanted to let you know that I had a dream last night about our team meeting on Wednesday. I dreamt that for some reason you sent us an invite telling us that the meeting was at your apartment, but then you didn’t give us directions or an address so we all just showed up to the office. When we got there, there were these cards with clues on how to get to your house, but we weren’t allowed to see everyone else’s cards. Instead, we had to play this game called “ideas” (it was a made up dream game, I think) where we had to do like this combination charades/pictionary game to get people to guess an object on our cards and then after they guessed it we could see the clue they had. My object was flour and I didn’t get anyone to guess it after a minute. Anyway, we were also playing this game in this imaginary lobby of the building where a bus stop went through. There were people waiting for a bus there and this crazy lady who was throwing sharp objects at people. So we stopped our game and moved out of the way, but in the hustle, someone stole my laptop and I was freaking out. I called the police and tried to relay to them how dire the situation was, but they weren’t that concerned. I was relieved to wake up and find that it was all a dream.
