Moving slowly today. Not feeling really energetic. Was up late last night surfing the Qigong sites and offerings. Still debating as to whether I go to the weekend intensive. Letting it cook some more. Have a week or more to decide. Will wait until I have a class with the Avalon instructor and perhaps get his feedback. Although one teacher is unlikely to run down another teacher.

Dreams last night were vivid even though I waited until now to try and record them and have lost much of the detail. I just recall long, intense dream sessions with lots of action and activity. One sequence was aboard a spaceship and dealt with solving a problem regarding the propulsion system. The other seemed to deal with a business/storefront and selling some kind of products.

Both dreams involved me in some leadership role. I was the person who had to come up with the solutions to the issues being faced. I had the help of the crew and other people, but I was the responsible one.

I did as much Qigong as I could remember this morning. I don't recall the exact procedures that were introduced in the one class I took earlier this week. So, I'm making some of it up. The class was noticeably energizing despite its chaotic format for that day. But, it makes it difficult to recall what was done. I'll have to write out the procedures when I take more classes. Write and diagram them out for my benefit and for future reference.

Went to a Laundromat today. Was handy to drop stuff off at the cleaners, but it's a bit expensive. So, I was kicking back and watching the tumblers tumble. There was an Indian couple who came in with huge mounds of bedding and such. The man sat in front of the big washers, watching the items tumble and turn. He almost seemed to be meditating. His wife was reading a Gresham book, The Brethren, I believe.

Another man was doing his family's wash. He forgot to unload one washer full of towels. When he returned, I told him about the towels. He was chagrined since the rest of his stuff was nearly dry and here was a pile of soaking towels. I could have done an Act of Random Kindness and put his towels in a dryer. But, I didn't. I did do an act of kindness by telling him about the towels. He might have walked out without them.

Picked up the 2003 O. Henry prize stories. The 2005 stories were really good (there's no 2004 because the publisher is trying to synch up the copyright year--they normally were one year behind for some reason). Now, they are right with the world, but with a missing year.

Didn't make it to the dance last night. L came home wiped from her two days of new job/work. She just wanted to crash. I started to go and dance, but got sidetracked in Qigong space and reading the last of the Oates' stories. Suddenly, it was late, too late to dance.

Will probably make it to QS dance tonight. They will have a good DJ and the crowd is fun. Dance and then come back and curl up with the 2003 stories. Sounds like a plan. Calling on dreams tonight as well. May they continue to manifest as they do.
