They Kept Coming In

I was at home (Grandmamma's House), and it was chilly outside, and so we had turned up the heat so that it was warm inside. I started feeling pretty comfortable when someone else there noticed a number of bugs coming in. There seemed to be an awful lot of them, and so while I was trying to figure out a way to get them out without killing them all, I was also trying to figure out how they were coming in.

After some looking around, I realized that they were coming in through the wall/floor of the living room facing 256. Evidently one of the floor vents for the heat actually just ran right outside to the outer wall of the house, and things were coming in from there. All sorts of things started showing up through this vent, even though I was trying to scoop and scare things back down into the vent to get them out. There were a number of spiders and worms, as well as things like snakes and kittens. They were all just trying to get inside to keep warm, but I didn't want them in the house because I knew if I let them stay, they'd make this their new home.

I kept trying to get all these things back down into the hole, and I found that the wall also had a bit of space underneath it, and things were coming in through there, too. A number of times I tried stomping at the area to try to scare the things back down, but it usually didn't work. None of these things cared. They just wanted to come in and get warm. I think I was finally able to start getting things out, and as I did, I was able to use boards and heavy things laid on top of them to hold them in place to keep the critters out.

I then went upstairs, and they were having the same problem in the "girls' room". (the kids from Full House were in my old upstairs bedroom). They were also having problems with bees and such, and somehow eventually I wound up seeing into the entire wall, which was like a room unto itself, and I could see all the bees and such there. Somehow I eventually got everything all sealed up and we were able to keep all the critters out.

I wound up suddenly walking into a restaurant place for breakfast wearing black "khaki" shorts, a turquoise polo shirt, and a turquoise "Members Only" jacket. I wondered if I would be allowed in since I wasn't dressed up, and I was. They served breakfast from all sorts of places, like McDonald's, Denny's, etc. There were a bunch of firefighters there that were just getting up to leave, and I was just sitting down.

As I did, there was a bag showing all the places that they get their breakfasts from, and there was some sort of announcement on the P.A. system about looking into the bag to see if you had won the prize. I think the prize was a free breakfast. I don't remember who won, but I do remember seeing that the place was packed, and it was all served cafeteria style, and the line going into the cafeteria was LONG.
