Dreamed last night of working in a toy studio. I was helping develop a toy that required a lot of attention to details and nuances. The studio was an open space with a huge design table in the center of the space. On the table, were huge portfolios that contained the schematics and drawings associated with the toy.

I believe that I was present as a consultant--to help flesh out the concept and work with the design team on the development of prototypes. I know that I had an imposed deadline that involved me having to catch a plane at some point. So all of the work was conditioned around my departure schedules. The airport was not nearby and required more than an hour to reach it starting at the studio.

Despite the schedule restrictions, the working environment was comfortable and relaxed. We mocked-up ideas and concepts, and then proceeded to see how they played out during walkthroughs and focus testing.

The entire sense of the dream was fun-filled and engaging. Nothing negative or stressful involved.

Have been moving in slow motion today. Can't seem to kick things into a higher gear. Went through my mail and bills--seemed to take forever. Now, the day is almost gone and I've not done a whole lot. I also took a nap after I went out for a late breakfast/lunch.

I managed to get the latest Murakami book from the library--Kafka on the Shore. I've been clearing little things out of the way so I can curl up with the book--now that I've finally scored a copy. It had been wait-listed for months with people waiting for it. I noticed last night that a copy had been returned and shelved--pop, and I've got it.

Other than feeling like things are moving slowly, I feel good. Experienced a good Qigong practice this morning. Looking forward to a class on it tomorrow and the start of a class series next week.

See where an astrologer is suing NASA for blasting the comet with a probe. She maintains that striking the body has thrown off her astrological chartings, and she wants compensation--good luck with that one.

Won $11 on my MegaMillion lottery ticket--mega number plus two drawn numbers. Not quite the jackpot, but better than nothing. Gives me two extra plays.

Dance class last night was a good workout. We learned a new dance and then reviewed four others, and danced a few more. It was muggy and warm so dancing was like standing in a sauna.

The new dance is fairly complex--lots of syncopations and a few tags and a restart. But, it's danceable--challenging, but worth the effort. I need to start looking at the step sheets to remind myself of the steps and the flow of the dances. Trying to keep it all in my head alone is creating dance mush.

Sent a TY note to P&S for the party on Monday. They did a good job of hosting the event and serving up great BBQ. Sent them a funny ladybug TY note.

Chiropractor, Qigong class and dancing tomorrow. Plus digging into the Murakami book and other reading. I hear the winds blowing through the trees. The universe is breathing.
