Lazy day so far. Been dawdling as I move around this morning. Dreams last night were misty and vague. Don't recall much about them except that they were dark and shadowy, not bright and clear. I sat up suddenly at one point in the early morning. I imagined that I'd heard a car crashing on the street. I sat bolt upright and was wide awake. Then drifted back into the shadow world and the warmth of the bed.

It got cool again last night. Team meeting tonight. It's been a long time.

I believe I've made an inner decision to start looking for another place. Where is on the table. I may expand outside the PA area just to see what's available. There's a premium for living in this part of the Bay Area--so may as well look around some.

But the only way this is going to work is for me to make solid plans for writing. I can't spend another six months monkeying around with numerous distractions and not put my attention on why I'm doing what I'm doing. As G said yesterday, go where the passion leads me. Right now it's leading me to jump in a warm shower. More later.

SS check came. Yeah! I requested auto-deposit yesterday so I don't have to think about it anymore. It'll just magically appear.

Team meet tonight in just a little while. Looks like almost a full house or a full one if RS talked to MD. Will be good to see everyone after so long a time. I'll walk to where we're meeting. Will be good for the digestion.

Spent some cycles today looking through craig's list. Have to start the apt hunting or whatever is going to take shape in that domain. Looking forward to it (not the moving, etc.).

H is outside patrolling the yard and garden. It's such a lush place that it no doubt requires attention even though he has gardeners on task. H is hunting dandelions. Using one of those wedge tools to wrench the plants from their purchase in the lawn.

I'm feeling relaxed today even though my back is still in spasm. Was able to relax everything some throughout the day.

Well about time to leave for dinner and the meeting. Will perhaps return for a night cap posting later tonight.

Good dinner; good meeting. Was good to see nearly everyone again. Great place to eat as well. We agreed to keep meeting on the 2nd Wed of each month. RM and I are co-leading the group. RS is stepping down. New beginnings.

Walk downtown helped my back some, but the chair in the cafe didn't help at all. Moving from one infirmity to the next. Like a chain reaction, one thing triggering the other.

But committed to writing a collection of short stories over the next 6-7 months. Plan to take it where it goes. Going to set up a blog for the team so we can let each other know what we're up to without using email, etc. Blog the blog out of everything.

Will do that now--make a start and see where it leads.
