Only recall a vague sense of dreaming last night. No details.

Went to the chiropractor this morning on time. Didn't want to be late getting to L's house. I volunteered to be there to meet the TV repair people--one of those we'll be there between noon and 4 pm events. I decided it would be a good opportunity for me to do my laundry. I was feeling a bit anxious since I didn't know exactly what they were supposed to fix on the TV. J had left them a note with his telephone number at work, but I was still concerned about not knowing exact details.

After I arrived, I loaded my laundry into the washer and started it going. The phone rang and I answered it, thinking it was the TV people letting me know they were coming. Turned out to be the DSL guy, who was also scheduled to come look at the phone line. His window was 8 to 8. I didn't know anything about expecting a DSL technician. Then began a flurry of phone calls regarding the DSL issues. Meanwhile, the DSL guy come to the house.

Had to corral the dog and put him in a bedroom. The DSL guy was obviously fearful of the dog. My wash completed and I had to put things in the dryer. The TV guys arrive. The dog is going crazy. The TV guys say they have to take the unit to the shop. This is a 54-inch plasma display that weighs a ton. They came in a big truck, fortunately. They took the TV away. The DSL guy said the signal to the house was OK. The dog kept barking. My laundry finished drying.

I packed up everything I'd brought (laundry, books that I didn't get a chance to read, a copy of a New Yorker with a short story by Alice Munro that I started to read) and came home and took a good nap.

Made it to Qigong class tonight (final one in this series). Was energizing, as usual. Next class is Power Healing, which I think I'll take. It's a type of Qigong with emphasis on healing movements and postures. Have an appointment at the rec center tomorrow afternoon regarding getting on their fee reduction list. I think I qualify. Will make the PH course really affordable, plus will be a great discount on dance cards.

Got a call from my daughter, S. She's back from her trips to Las Vegas and New York. She's completing on her job and getting ready to head back to school. Glad she's figuring out how to do that. Will payoff for her in the long run. Meeting her for dinner on Wednesday evening. Will be good to see her.

Had a note from my son, F, that I answered last night. He and his family will be up this way the 2nd weekend in September, a few days before I head for Memphis. They're getting set up so that they can buy a house--that'll be great for them in both the short and long run.

Sending good thoughts to the people back East who are in the middle of the hurricane debacle. Going to be some time before some of them get back to normal conditions. Mother Nature will have her way. Storm front should have made it to Tennessee by now. Will call my sister tomorrow or Wednesday to check on things.

Dreaming of dreaming tonight... in the fields of glowing golden light... good night!
