Murakami arrives! Along with several books about PD that I ordered from Amazon! Finished the Goodall book--ending chapters brought everything together--was worth the read. Her transforming experiences were many and varied. She was affected in many different ways by a variety of circumstances--all of which shaped who she is today. She was touched by many people (and animals), and they all helped solidify her thoughts and beliefs, her way of dealing with the world. By the end of the book, I was feeling inspired--feeling like I'm wallowing around in a mud puddle of illness when I could be doing so much more.

Major coolness last night--and again tonight. Temps in the freezing zone! The cold is really activating my symptoms, but am figuring it out. But, does make me want to migrate to a warmer clime. In fact, makes me want to get out of Dodge in the worst kind of way. I get images of me wandering purposefully instead of wallowing around here much longer. Is a thought! One worth thinking on!

Dream last night about working for someone who had a software program that compiled data about people. I had helped create the product and was consulting with someone about how it worked and could be customized. Turned out, I was also an authority on how the public transit system worked. When we left work, a man and a woman left with me and I showed them how to take the public transit to get where we all wanted to go. It was a station near a quiet neighborhood. We left the train and walked down the street together. At one point, there was a man with a large, friendly dog. We petted the dog and continued on our way. It was getting dark. The air was warm and moist.

Finishing up my cup of ginger tea! Oh, the mystery!
