Giant lizard hallucinations

i got scared out of my wits TWICE yesterday night, by mistaking Kai's inanimate brown dinosaur toy lying in my path on the bathroom floor for a giant lizard each time i entered the bathroom. it was extremely silly (the 2nd time, especially) but perhaps pretty telling about my mental state last night. was rather panicky cos was frantically trying to do the readings required for writing my paper... hopefully i can emerge happily from a week of work tonight...
