Last night's dream dealt with having to proofread and copy edit a gigantic manuscript. The document was thousands of pages long with lots of graphics and images that were linked to the text. I don't know the subject of the book, just that I'd been asked to proof it and put in shape. The work was divided into two parts and one entire section was given to a woman who was working with me. We had to layout some ground rules so that we each didn't go off on a tangent that would make the integration of our work more difficult.

I recall looking through my section and starting to make preliminary marks. There were a lot of small typos and mistakes, or so it seemed after only a cursory pass through several pages. In the dream, I wasn't daunted by the task. I thought it would take a lot of time, but that it was doable.

I awoke thinking I needed to jump up and get to work on the editing task. Of course, there is no such manuscript and I jumped up anyway and did my Qigong practice.
***********************************
Was saddened to hear about the terrorist attacks in England. There will be no end to these acts of madness. They are becoming part of the landscape, with all of the attendant "systems" being put in place to ostensibly monitor such acts--but that will restrict significantly people's freedoms. I swear Bush looked like he was smiling, happy that the event happened and thereby justifies his actions and decisions.

Meanwhile, I continue to try and put myself back together. Visited the chiropractor this morning and went to Qigong class this afternoon. Will head for dance class in just a bit. I've been ravenous today. Feeling like I want to feed my body, fuel it up.

Trip to chiropractor and breakfast left me wanting to sleep. Qigong class cleared away the fog and left me energized and hungry. Been thinking about what it would be like to have a place with a kitchen once again. But, before I head down that rabbit hole, I need to make more global plans, bigger plans. What those are I'm not certain. But, I feel sure that I need to make that effort. Get things aligned and plotted--make a roadmap instead of riding along on autopilot.

Still haven't begun the Murakami book. Been clearing the other books that I'm reading first. Obsessive delayed gratification, to say the least.

Peace to everyone that died or was injured today in England, and elsewhere on this globe.
