Dreamless night. Or I may have dreamed but nothing was remembered. Fell asleep, after a long toss and turn, reading an Alice Munro story from a collection that's not in the library. Marvelous, intricate tale with lots of surprising twists and turns. Only read about half of the opening story. It's 50+ pages in length.

Spent the afternoon and evening with L. She's getting ready for her holiday trip. J left on Friday and she will be leaving next Friday. I'll be housesitting (dog sitting, cat sitting and fish sitting) at her place. Looking forward to having a kitchen for a few weeks. Plan to cook at home as much as I can--or eat there even if I bring food in.

Noisy here today. Neighbors running a rototillar, I believe. Non-stop engine noises along with throttle accelerations and whacking sounds. May they hit a rock. Can't imagine what all they are doing. This has been a regular Sunday noise fest now for several weeks. The sounds of the suburbs.

As usual, didn't sleep well at L's. Just not used to having someone else next to me when I'm trying to sleep. Took the dog for a walk this morning. Will be a challenge to walk him each day, but will be good exercise for me to do. Can be a training activity in case I start running once again. Feeling like I need more vigorous exercise or movement. Dancing is OK, but not aerobic enough in some ways.

Short post today. Need to clean up, shower and get out some today. Going to L's later today and won't be back early. May the dreams return tonight and be filled with wonder.
