Apartment haunting. Seems that way. Having to kickstart myself into making calls and looking at places. Inertia reigns.

Dreamed last night about heading up a project team. We had a new client and wanted to show him what our system could do. But I misunderstood what he asked for--a computer. Instead, I loaded up the client and the project team and headed for a remote location. I kept trying to get serious about everything, but couldn't do so.

Things were quickly coming unglued. The client was working vigorously to get us to show him how our system worked. He found an old computer chassis, a monitor, and some cabling. He knew that all he had to do was to get online and he could pull up our site. I was sitting back observing the activity. I made suggestions now and then, but let the group make the key decisions.

Eventually, he managed to get online and bring up the site. He then proceeded to demonstrate how our site could perform the tasks his company wished to accomplish. It was quite a show.

At one point, there were some breakthroughs in how our system handled his requests and performed the operations. At this stage, I was in a meta-state of visualization, able to see clearly what was being done, how it was being done, and how we could modify our system to easily replicate these same results. The place turned into a party atmosphere.

I felt wobbly and uncertain during the initial stages of the dream state and became more at ease during later sections. There was still an overall sense of not being really competent, but lucky.

Got a call from the agent who was going to show me a place tomorrow to cancel. The place was rented this afternoon. Also have not heard from place in midtown that would be my preferred location.

Realized that if I get a place, I'll have to furnish it with some things minimally. So maybe, perhaps, perchance I should be looking for a furnished option--even if it costs a bit more. Will have to see what presents itself. Overall, and so far, it has not been encouraging. Not unlike the last time even though I felt that it would go more smoothly this time.

Did cruise the "neighborhoods" today and concluded that I'd rather pay a bit more and live further west from 101.

Grabbed a seaweed soup for dinner with the intention that it helps cure my throat tickles. It's been a strange food day--egg Mac mit sausage, acai smoothie mit energy, a piece of cake, and seaweed soup mit fortune cookies.

S called. Good to hear from her. She's working again and did really well in classes while she was off. She's planning to go to San Diego to complete a degree. Happy for her.

Well, I must put some effort into finding a place, planning the move, and figuring out how to make the place livable. Not an easy set of things to pull off, but it must be done.

Time to push the keyboard aside, read a bit, and rest--the tonic of the day--to rest, perchance to dream.
