Didn't get to sleep until sometime around 2AM this morning. I read for about an hour after I stopped flailing with the computer and AOL. I don't have enough memory for AOL 9.0 that I installed. Looks like I'm operating on the edge with the new system. So either need a memory upgrade or new system--yuck!

Dream last night that involved a house or group of houses. There was a problem with the roof and water was pouring into a small storage room and running from there to all parts of the house. I climbed a steep stone wall that led from the house to another house up the hill. I walked the top of the wall, which was rough and uneven, until I reached the upper house. The landlady or owner of the cluster of homes lived there. I told her about the problem and she indicated that something would be done. She was not convincing. She was vague regarding details and exact times for the repairs.

There were other dream fragments that revolved around the homes and the people that lived in them. But, in my rush to the relief station, those dream elements disappeared. I say disappeared, but in reality they cling to my consciousness like a hint of fragrance. Eventually, they vaporize, but it takes a while once I've awakened.

Worked some yesterday on cards. Filled out the 25 that deal with feelings and emotions. Skipped the movement class this morning so I could at least start this journal. Going to be a day on the move--write a bit, clean up, lunch, back to L's, back to chiro, back home, dance class, then back to this journal.

In addition, need to check in on craigslist and monitor any new places that get listed. The days are starting to count themselves down now. A few weeks, a month, and the scene will change. I will be in a new place with new patterns and possibilities.

Finished reading the SciFi story of a clone who is forced to hunt down his "brother." Good story and well executed. Also a bit of a precog for me--clones had my name just like the doppleganger I discovered living near me, who has my same name, initials and birth date. Round and round I go and where I clone, nobody knows.

Time flies and so must I. More, later.

Good lunch with M&E. Made me late getting back so ended up going directly to chiro. Story idea while waiting for chiro office to open: boy running from door of funeral home; as if a soul had been released. The image evokes a number of possible story lines. I now catch myself looking at people and things from a new viewpoint. I believe it is from the perspective of seeing how actions and events can become part of a story.

Dance class tonight was arduous. Learned a couple of new dances. Also saw invite to E&D's reception. Going to be a blast.

Feeling somewhat unhinged today. Felt free floating and not too frenzied. Finally a breathing spell. M's granddaughter was delightful. Friendly and playful. Like a kid should be.

Don't have much more to write tonight. Still a little buzzy from the chai I had and my back continues to spasm--lying down helps that issue.

Tomorrow, hope to make some progress on the writing exercises. Move things forward; keep it rolling along. So, adios for the evening. May my dreams be revelatory and bright.
