Dreams | dissolved | by the dawn's early light. |

My waking pattern is causing me to drop the dreams before I awake. I'm waking up early and instead of replaying my dream states, I'm getting up. Then, the dreams are gone. Need to roll over when I start to wake and replay the current dream.

Spent a lot of time yesterday and this morning figuring out exactly how the filing system works on my iBook. Not exactly intuitive! But, I managed to burn some things onto a CD and recreated my Documents folder--and learned quite a lot about the Finder, disk images, and so on.

I discovered, the hard way, what it means when an icon shows a puff of smoke as I drag it around. It means it's going to vaporize, which is something I managed to do and recover from, fortunately. Not entirely intuitive as I say.

The Help files were eventually helpful, it just takes a lot of digging around. I'm still not entirely clear on how to use a Burn Folder, but I'll puzzle it out.

Well, have successfully made a backup of my document files. Burned and re-burned a CD just to make sure I captured the data I thought I was saving.

Going to restorative yoga class today and then dancing tonight--holiday party dance here in Palo Alto. Will be good to restore and move some. Been some time since I've danced. Weeks! But first a short rest from the computer times. Then onward to yoga I go...

Yoga and dancing were great. I was shaking quite a bit during yoga, but I think it was from not eating something solid. Had a light breakfast (banana, yogurt, muffin), but didn't follow up with a good lunch. Instead had a tea and more muffin. Wasn't enough. Settled down some after eating dinner once yoga was done. Plus had a tea and a cookie, plus snacks at the dance.

Got a bit tired dancing. Yoga plus dancing for almost two plus hours set me back on my heels some. Still knew a lot of the dances or recalled them as they were danced. Lot of people at the party. Big crowd.

Odd Asian man was there. He's not all there, I don't think. He was having a good time. He ate and danced. Said his name is Perry.

Couple of the dances really speak to me--Simplemente, Enjoy Yourself, and the one with the line "Who you gonna call when your road ends at the sea?". Simplemente is just a great piece of music with dance steps that fit the music really well. Enjoy Yourself is a bouncy, happy tune with lively dance steps.

Was fun. A few more dances on the docket for this year and then it will be a new venue. Ends with the New Year's dance at Twin Pines. Out with the old and in with the new--in with the totally new.
