Had a panoply of dreams last night. Am blurry now on what they were about. There were three major sections. One had something to do with being in a family setting. I don't believe that I was part of the family, but lived there for some reason. We were having a vociferous discussion about something. In a second dream, the family changed into another family. This dream had a different tone or feeling sense. In part, the dreams were scattered over a long period of sleeping since I went to bed early last night--really early--I think I figured that I was in bed and mostly sleeping for about 15 hours. Lots of dream time!

A third dream was more memorable. It had to do with a game or puzzle toy. I had electronic documents that were diagrams of logic and play patterns. I was pulling up for viewing and making corrections and adjustments to some of them. There was another person nearby. She was assisting me with making the changes and documenting them.

I'm not sleepy yet tonight. Slept enough last night for a week.
*************************************
The clearness and energy I experienced yesterday morning got rummaged in the afternoon. And then I slept. This morning I awoke fairly jittery, but as the day wore on the symptoms kept moving into the background. After my 3PM dose, I've been fairly symptom free (or symptom lessened) for the past 6 hours. Right now, I feel clear and lucid. I just ate a huge dinner (I was hungry, but not shaking--although it felt like that if I didn't eat something I would start showing symptoms).

Spent a good bit of time today looking at apartments. Lots of dumpy places. I was bummed after I looked at some units in Mt. View. Decided I would look closer at places in PA and MP. Found two possibles in those locations. Saw the one in MP and will take it if I get selected. It's not big, but it's quiet, convenient, has a kitchen, and has reasonable rent (includes utilities). Will see other place in PA on Monday. It's a newer place, but may not be as big as the one MP or laid out as well. Also, it's more expensive and does not include utilities--but I won't knock it off the list until I see it.

Meanwhile, I'll keep on looking. Something else may pop up.

So the medications may be kicking in. It's not steady yet, but there have been these windows of clarity. It's a good news/bad news scenario--the good news is the drugs are starting to help--the bad news is the drugs are starting to help, which might confirm the prognosis. Given how I feel right now, I could live with it as long as everything maintains. The unknown is what happens when things don't maintain. Time enough for those speculations after I get through this initial diagnostic period. We shall see. Yes indeed, we shall--in technicolor.

Punted on dancing tonight. Will go tomorrow night, Ojala que si!
