The other day I had a dream that I got a pet koala. He was adorable and very affectionate. He constantly wanted to be petted and hugged. In the dream I fell asleep in my bed. The koala climbed up into my bed and woke me up demanding hugs. I groggily shoo-ed him away and fell right back asleep. He got VERY angry. So he sat on top of my chest and massively defecated all over me!
You would think an elephant had done it instead of a koala by the amount of it all! I woke up horrified and disgusted! I was still in the dream. I then really woke up from the dream thinking it all really happened. I was nervously feeling my clothes and blanket in the dark thinking they would be drenched.

Brother and sister banned from high school for not wearing masksTheir father said wearing masks violates their religious beliefs.

The father of two high school students in California says his children are being discriminated against because of their religious beliefs after they refused to wear masks on the first day of school and are now banned from campus.
“They were sent home and told not to come back with or without a mask,” said Gary Nelson, whose children, Drew, 17, and Victoria, 16, attend the Springs Charter Schools Temecula Student Center. “If they do, they would be charged with trespassing.”
Nelson said Drew, a senior, and Victoria, a junior, were booted from the campus on Aug. 19 when they declined to wear masks because of their religious beliefs.
“The Bible says we’re made in the image of God and Satan tries to cover that up. A mask is a sign of oppression,” Nelson said Thursday. “If it was Muslim, Jewish or something of a more high-profile minority religion in this country, yes, they would have accommodated ... just to say they weren’t discriminating based on that religion. But they feel safe because it’s Christianity.”
Refusal to wear a mask is not a tenet of the Christian faith.
Nelson said that his children were not expelled, that they have access to schoolwork and that they were told they could continue their studies at home online but that teachers have not been responsive to their needs.
He declined to answer whether his children have been vaccinated. He said they excel academically and are college-bound.
Nelson said that Victoria was told to go to the principal’s office after she showed up without a mask on but that the principal was not in, so she returned to the classroom. That is when the teacher evacuated the room and police were called, he said. A school resource officer confronted Victoria and told her to leave campus hours after the ordeal began, he said.
The campus went on a “soft lockdown,” according to an email an assistant principal sent to parents. Generally, a soft lockdown means school doors are locked but teaching continues.
Principal Rebecca Fabozzi did not respond to an email seeking comment Thursday, and multiple phone calls to the school were not returned.
Fabozzi said in a letter to Nelson that his children were disruptive and that they were violating the mandate from the California Department of Public Health, or CDPH, that students wear masks in public schools. She also listed nine other ways the siblings had failed to follow school rules and policies.
“Each of your students refused to comply with the CDPH mask mandate for public schools. When asked by staff to wear a face covering, your students refused to comply,” Fabozzi wrote. “When asked to leave the school premise and continue the day on home independent study, your student refused to leave the campus. Our resource officer arrived, and your student was directed to leave campus.”
She ended the letter by saying that because of the disruption, Nelson's children would remain on independent study at home with full access to curriculums, resources and teachers.
Victoria said standing up for her principles has not been easy.
“It’s hard to stand up for what’s right. We chose to not wear a mask because it’s not just an excuse. It’s truly what we believe in,” she said. “For me, I was nervous. I am always respectful to every authority, especially teachers. I get along with all the staff, teachers and other students. It was hard to do.”

Snake slithers out of spice shelves at Sydney supermarketA grocery run turned into a snake rescue for an Australian woman when she was greeted by a python poking out from a supermarket shelf.
Helaina Alati, 25, was at a Sydney store on Monday when the 3m non-venomous snake slithered out.
The Woolworths supermarket lies on the edge of a large expanse of bushland on the city's north- west outskirts.
But encountering a snake in the spice aisle is not what Ms Alati expected.
Fortunately for both parties, Ms Alati is a wildlife rescuer and familiar with snakes.
"I just turned my head and he was about 20cm from my face, just looking straight at me," she told the BBC.
She did a double-take but remained calm. No one else was around.
Recognising it instantly as a diamond python, Ms Alati knew it wasn't venomous as it protruded and flicked its tongue.
"He was looking straight at me the whole time, almost like he was saying: 'Can you take me outside please?'" she said.
After filming the snake, Ms Alati alerted staff and said she could help them get it out.
She retrieved a snake bag from her home, returned to the store, "tapped him on the tail and he just slithered in".
She then released it away from houses in bushland - a natural habitat for the species around Sydney.
'Like a scene from Harry Potter'
A trained snake handler, Ms Alati has conducted at least 20 snake rescues before.
She says her friends have previously joked about her being "the snake girl", referencing a zoo scene in a Harry Potter film where the boy wizard finds that he can talk to snakes.
Ms Alati says she can't speak Parseltongue like Harry, but "that scene's been mentioned to me a few times".
"They kind of just gravitate to me, like maybe they just sense that I'm the kind of person into caring and protecting animals," she said.
"To be honest, it's the most exciting thing that's happened in a little while given lockdown. The staff were all taking photos of it."
Australia's largest city has been in a lockdown since June to fight a Delta outbreak. Grocery shopping is one of the few reasons people are allowed to leave their homes.
Ms Alati said she suspected the snake had been in the shop overnight, probably initially in the ceiling where diamond pythons like to nestle.
It had probably lurked on the shelf all morning as "dozens of people... passed it and grabbed spices", she added.
