Up in the morning! And that's where the day happens, mostly. Once the Qigong is done and breakfast eaten, the rest of the day slides away--until the evening time. In the morning, I feel fairly clear. But, the rest of the day, until evening, disappears in a fog, partially of sleep.

I showered, shaved and went out for lunch, which only made me want to sleep more. I am gaining weight--it's being added all over--so I guess there's some silver lining. I quieted down a lot yesterday and today by sleeping more. The days flow by!

Dreamed last night of joining a group of men who were preparing for an expedition. We needed supplies. Since I was the newest person, I stepped up to make a provision's run. Ended up at COSTCO buying tons of stuff. In the dream, took some time to gather everything, check it out, load it, unload it, and such. But I did it all from start to finish.

A second dream involved (I believe) something to do with allocating rooms in a house. There were a lot of people involved and the process was confusing and complicated. When I awoke, I recalled more of this dream. But now, later, it's become somewhat vague and hazy.

Continue to read the collections of Buddhist fiction. Unique genre! Like reading about aspects of Buddhism, but linked to life situations--and all that entails. I envy the authors, all of whom are long time meditators and students of the practices. I envy them their lengthy dedication and their writing skills.
