Had a shaky morning. Felt energetic, but was shaking a lot. It was cool, which didn't help. Quieted in the afternoon and after a late nap awoke feeling steady. Have to wonder if it was related to R's Friday treatment session and the lymph work. It was like I was throwing off toxins late yesterday/today. Walked yesterday and today--felt good! My gait seemed more natural and stretched out.

Captured a stool sample tonight and will ship it off for testing. Will see if the Bye-Lori capsules have done their job. Bye, bye H-pylori! I think that parasite has been lessened, which accounts for some of my energy boosts. We shall see!

Getting late. Time to start heading horizontal. Have chiro session tomorrow and send off my stool sample. What a life!

5351

Little surge of energy today! Wanted to sleep in longer, but energy levels pushed me out of bed and into my exercises. Went for a walk on the baylands, which brought the energy levels down some. Ate lightly today and slept in the late afternoon.

Can still feel the effects of R's treatment from yesterday. I'm not feeling as clear as I was yesterday, but I'm (my body) is still aware of what was done. I'm starting to get a bit logy tonight--somewhat earlier than usual. Slept soundly last night--feel like that will be so tonight.

Don't recall dreams from last night.

Feeling quiet and still. Will settle in soon and read myself to sleep. Perhaps to dream!

5352

Two in a row! Yesterday it was tui na/acupressure. Today it was Rebecca's new energy balancing/lymph system of treatments. Both left me feeling better. Yesterday's session was great! Today's session was beyond great. Feel as good as I've felt in a while. Will be doing the same double session again next week.

R's new technique involves deep, slow working of the fascia--stretching and smoothing all of the muscles that deal with spinal alignment and support. After the session, I feel taller--as if there's more space between each vertebrae. I'll take it!

Dreamed last night that I was at a huge wedding reception. The couple who were marrying were like a royal duo. They had unlimited resources and lavished on details and extras at the reception. It was a joyous occasion and each event and circumstance was a showcase of color, music and pageantry. One hilarious item was a troop of 15 or so midgets who were cavorting about, playing with the children, and adding greatly to the merriment. It was a spectacle!

Did well on the drive to and from SC today. I didn't get extremely buzzy as I've done on other trips over and back. It was almost a pleasure today--coming back definitely was such.

Vocation: from the Latin "vocare"--to call. What is my vocation? Perhaps I'll get an answer in my dreams. Maybe my vocation is to dream!

5353

Tui na/acupressure--the day's highlight. I get so still during and after the session. I slept for a short while, but the quiet returned once I awoke. Tomorrow, I have a session with Rebecca. She'll be using some new techniques that she just learned last week.

Dreamed last night a whole series of dreams. One involved a house and the sound system for the place. I was trying to figure out how to get music to play out by the pool. It was a place I was renting or was house-sitting. A second dream sequence involved a technology company. I was there with a tech-guru who was going to make a presentation. There was a point in the show where some words were to be displayed over an image. There had been some problems with that happening and I was checking it out on another computer. I believe I fixed it and everything went smoothly.

A third dream scene had something to do with my daughter. In the dream, she had gotten a new car for her birthday. It was a red Prius--very sleek! A fourth dream involved driving up a trail to a camping area. At one point, a rabbit was flushed near the side of the road. It darted toward the car and ended up in my lap. When we got to the campsite, I fed it some carrot juice with kernels of corn in it. The rabbit seemed to like the drink. It wandered in and out of the camp, but came back for meals. It was a young rabbit. It was very friendly and liked to be petted and held.

Lots of dream themes! The SRF materials also happen to be talking about dreams and visions. Synchronicity! I think it's an early out tonight. More sleep and more dreams!

5354

Don't know what to write tonight. Tired of writing the same old stuff over and over again. Need new material--need a new life! This old life is getting boring--it's like the Groundhog Day movie.

I spent the day exercising, eating, sleeping, running errands, sweating, praying and ultimately writing this note and reading some bits of things. Day after day of sameness and similarity!

Dreamed last night, but lost the details. Acupressure/tui na tomorrow--cooler day projected. Dribble, dribble, drip, drip! Waiting for Godot! Waiting! Wait!

The world spins by. The seasons change. Noises intrude. I only want to sleep. Hoping I awaken in another, better dream. May the dream scenes shift and change. May they change, may they change, may they change!

5355

Went to the beach today. Mostly, wore me out. Had difficulty walking my usual route--legs felt like rocks. Didn't have my usual lunch--drove back and grabbed a sandwich at Simply Sandwiches. Slept some in the afternoon--not as much as usual. Turned warm today even though it was chilly last night. Feel my systems trying to map out the weather patterns as I change shirts to stay covered (or not).

Dreamed last night about designing some modular software that the user could reconfigure to meet his/her needs. It was educational software that was set up by grade levels. It was slick and simple, and easy to reconfigure and use. There was a second dream also dealing with technology in some way. Someone asked me for information on how to get some application to work. I told them the name of the person who could help them.

Got an invite to my newest granddaughter's 1st year birthday. It'll be in San Jose late next month. Looking forward to it!! Have lots of acupressure, tui na, body work, FSR, and chiropractic sessions between now and then. Got to keep on moving! The beat goes on!

5356

Looked through nearly all of the YouTube videos on PD. Found one interesting video from AU about people using blue LED arrays before bed each night. Seems to help the sleep more soundly and moderates the PD symptoms the next day as well.

There was also an interesting video about a woman who was healed of her symptoms by faith. There are frames of her showing all the characteristics of PD and then after one prayer session (during the session) the symptoms went away. I can see how that could happen. The illness has the sense of a switch having been thrown and the symptoms start. It feels like the inverse could happen just as easily. We shall see!

Had dreams last night but content was lost as I awoke. SRF materials are all about dreams and visions. Waiting for the true dreams spawned by the superconsciousness.

Nearly a full moon tonight. Beach tomorrow! Let the big waves roll!

5357

Looked back to a year ago to see how I was doing then versus now. Seems to be about the same. Same issues (digestion, food, rest/sleep, energy levels, etc.) appear then as now. Feels like I've been treading water for a year and haven't moved much. Some things have been added (acupressure massage), but not much of significance. I'm still experiencing symptoms (tremor and brain fog--tremor to a greater degree--mind fog lessened somewhat), especially low energy levels and many hours of rest/sleep.

Weather change over the past few days (cooler, damper weather) has been noticeable and bothersome. It's nice to be out of the really hot times, but cold and chills are equally difficult. I continue to read a lot--it's a peaceful activity. I continue with my morning Qigong sessions--again peaceful times. I've been trying to meditate more, with limited success.

Looked at some tuina videos on YouTube. Tui Na (yang, acupressure) seems to have potential. The person who does my sessions is on a video with his teacher. There's a practitioner in the UK who cured a patient's debilitating back problem. I continue to sense that a key to my recovery will involve some form of manipulation. I need to do some more research and experimentation in that arena. Move, move, move!

5358

Welcome to the Fall Equinox! Fall falls in with rain, cooler temperatures, and lightning! Started raining last night and fizzle-drizzled until a few hours ago. The sound of thunder filled the air twice. Let there be light-ning!

People have been shuttling back and forth today looking at the vacant apartment. Price isn't going to make a huge impact--people are filling out the rental applications. Everyone wants to be in this area--it's so convenient to so many places.

Dreamed last night about going into an apartment that was up a set of stairs. It was dark and gloomy, and it was difficult to put the keys into the locks. I don't think the place was mine. It belonged to a woman. I was helping her get up the stairs and into the place.

I feeling sort of buzzy today--the reality of rent increases and moving raises my anxiety levels--triggers a lot of thoughts, some of which make sense and some not. Coolness also a factor--just want to wrap up and be warm.

Read one of the books of short stories. They are really short pieces, but gripping. A collection of vignettes, all related, about the lives of two cousins. They were written by S. E. Hinton and are called Some of Tim's Stories.

Heading for DeeDee's for dinner--ingest some warm, spicy victuals--to help ward off the chilly night.

5359

Rain and thunder storms! Nothing major--it's been a while since we've had any rain.

Early warning--there's an apartment that's been empty for a few weeks. I've been watching Craigslist to see if it gets listed. Tonight, I saw a listing for it at $995/mo!! That's $120 more than I'm paying and $170 more than where I started 1.5 years ago!! Guess I'll have to get more focused in terms of looking for a new place. I assume that once it's rented that all rents will be evaluated and ultimately bumped up. Oh well, it was cheap while it lasted!

Slept some, read some and spent some time today looking at sunglasses. I guess it won't matter, but most of the sunglasses I saw today were not actually tinted, but had a film overlay over the lenses. I realized that blue is one of my favorite colors--if not my most liked color. I've got a lot of blue clothes! Subconscious at work? Perhaps!

Rain makes me want to crawl in bed early tonight--have all new books of short stories. Snuggle up and read while it rains. Sounds like a plan!

5360

Acupressure rules! Session today quieted the symptoms. I still slept a couple of hours later in the day, but the effects are noticeable.

Went into the details behind the "blue glasses" phenomena and PD. Lots of people have tried them with good results. They've been used on people who have severe dyskinesia and dystonia as a result of the drugs they're taking. Not much said about people who are not on the drugs. Still worth a try--cheap experiment.

Dragon friend sent me some info and links about blue lighting and some of its benefits. Helps older people sleep better and helps with cognitive tasks. Also reduces eyestrain when reading.

Did run into one possible caveat--a study that shows a possible relationship between macular degeneration and blue light. Wasn't conclusive and seemed to be more of an issue with people with light-colored eyes.

The YouTube site has dozens of videos related to PD. Nice resource! There will be more there as things unfold.

Been dreaming, but not recalling any details. Shine the blue light on that!

5361

Laundry day and it's cooled down a lot. Rain maybe tonight/tomorrow. Shifting weather patterns--Fall is in the air! Time to shift from cold cereals to hot oatmeal. Oh, yeah!

Been doing some research on the web about PD interventions. Finding some interesting stuff! Especially videos of techniques that seem to alter the patterns of the disease. Some of it seems far out, but there are videos that demonstrate results.

There's "banding"--wrapping an Ace bandage around say a wrist that is either non-responsive or cogwheeling and having the symptom disappear. Demonstrates an effect of neural feedback on the system. There's the "blue glasses" video--showing how wearing blue glasses (or looking through a blue gel) alters the symptoms. The subject went from severe dyskinesia to complete control just by wearing some blue sunglasses. And then there's PBS (not NPR-related), peripheral brain stimulation--the implantation of 40-60 small titanium needle points in the ear cartilage. PBS results take more recovery time (than the blue glasses), but seems to work. And there's a lot more.

There are videos on people who were given GDNF (glial cell protein) who showed miraculous improvement. The trial was stopped and the test subjects were left to cope with the let down. They have a site filled with their testimonials and their pleas to be given GDNF again.

Continue to find discussions about the caveats regarding medication. Makes me feel better about not going that route. The long term effects are awful!

Have an acupressure massage in the morrow! Feeling well this night--may it continue!

5362

Was nice at the beach today. There was a marine layer, but it was moderate in terms of wind and coolness. I walked about two miles. Could have slept afterwards, but chose note to do so. Went into town for my soup lunch. Then came back and slept.

Felt logy this morning--so much so I almost didn't go to the beach. Just wanted to stay in bed. But, glad I made the effort. There is something about the sea air that is refreshing.

Having a lot of issues with symptoms. They've been really intrusive for the past few days. I'm quiet tonight, but was not so quiet earlier today--even when I was trying to rest. They come and go, but recently have been coming more. They appear as the tremor and brain fog. I can't get still and can't think intensely about anything. The brain fog also affects my driving--makes me a little erratic when driving.

Right now--I'm clear and awake! Combination of resting/sleeping, eating, and ambient noises going away. Reading also helps bridge the symptom periods--especially if the stories are captivating.

Keep trying to meditate, but have difficulty doing so. Still working my way through the SRF materials, but have not been doing everything--just what's in each new lesson. It should have been cumulative, but I didn't expand my time to accommodate hours of practice each day. So it's helped, but not as much as it might have if I'd allocated more time each day. All I have is time, but I can't seem to do more than I'm choosing to do.

Laundry tomorrow! It's Wednesday so it must be laundry day! Wash them socks! So be it!

5363

Went to the chiropractor today. I had a spasm in the middle of my back right before seeing him. Good timing! He took care of it. Odd that it happened, but the timing was impeccable.

As usual, slept quite a bit today. I went down after lunch (DeeDee's)--napped and rested (read) for most of the afternoon. Until the kids got home from school!

Had dreams last night, but lost the content. Spent a lot of the day trying to figure out what I can do to jump start what I'm doing to recover and to live a somewhat normal life. Being an invalid (in valid) has run its course. I want to move on--even if it means I have to make some major accommodations. I'm becoming really frustrated with just waiting for something to happen that produces a shift and change. What if it never happens? What then? I have to take action in some way, some form.

I'm not whole now and don't seem to be getting closer to being so. I've put myself in a tiny box--which makes it possible for me to maintain, but not expand. I'm not at peace--despite my nearly two years of monastic rituals. Time to renew, refresh, and recover! So be it!

5364

Long day! Awoke early so I could meet RB et al for breakfast. Was good to see everyone, but symptoms were present most of the time. They were triggered by the change of routine. Came home and slept and have been dinking around for most of the day.

Managed to puzzle my way through using Amazon's Mechanical Turk and Google's Earth sites to go online and help search for Steve Fossett. I didn't do much more than learn to use the tools. Amazing stuff! Looks like he's not going to be found quickly despite the immense set of resources being used.

Have session with chiropractor tomorrow. I've been in a funk for most of today and much of yesterday. I really am getting frustrated with the spiral that I seem to be making of things. Each day seems to get more difficult in some fashion. I'm ready for a break (through)! Ready! Ready! Ready!

Had an interesting dream last night. It involved a room full of people. They were speaking lines from something I had written. I had constructed a set of dialogs that involved these people. They were actors, but the dialogs were about them, their ideas, and beliefs. It was as if their speaking the lines made them (the lines, the observations) true. I was listening and observing as they spoke, and was feeling like everything was authentic. I would like to see/hear more of that dream. Will see if I can get it to replay!

5365

World OM day! Planetwide OM session took place today. It's still happening now! Checkout EarthDance.org for details. The Internet is making global events possible. Also empowering people to work collaboratively in totally new ways. Ten years ago, who could have imagined what's becoming available?

Cool, windy day! Breeze feels good. I went for a walk after eating lunch. It was great to feel the breeze on my body. Sat for a while in the park with the breezes blowing through the trees. Came home and slept, of course, but was out and about for a bit.

Dreamed last night about being in school. Had tons of homework. Realized in the dream that I was going to have to work a lot more to get through the classes. In the dream, I made the commitment and started studying more. There was another dream segment about being in a car and going to the beach. Dreams were more clear when they were happening. Now, they're faded and sketchy.

Up early tomorrow to meet RB, M, RM and CM for breakfast--early! BH got married today! Go B! Great day for the wedding. May they have a wonderful life together!

5366

Day went by in a mist! Seems like I awoke and suddenly it's early evening. Of course I slept some of the day, but not the entire time. Sleep was good though. Symptoms were present, but not extreme--a residual of the acupressure session from yesterday.

Dreamed last night about being with a large group of people from CW dancing. We were honoring some pioneers, like DW, and acknowledging their contributions. We were all going to a place for dinner. We were taking a train to the place. We all walked through the boarding gates to get to the trains. There was a woman near the front who was wearing a bridal-like dress. She suddenly realized that she had used a credit card at the boarding gate, but had failed to retrieve it. She was in a panic. She and I ran back to the boarding gates to try and locate her card. About then I awoke. There was more of the dream details at the beginning, before we left for the train.

I'm frustrated with the progress I'm making. The acupressure practitioner reminded me that my healing may not take a form like I imagine--it might happen differently. He said my etheric body seems to be getting stronger and more balanced. My physical self is not faring as well or showing the same improvements. Let it be, let it be! Sleep and let it be! Keep on dancing!

5367

Acupressure massage today--that and some sleep has left me awake and symptom-lite. Came back from massage and fell asleep for over an hour. Ate some lunch and went for a walk. Ran some errands and came back and slept some more. Awoke feeling refreshed and clear. Riding that wave right now.

Best I've felt in several days. Does that mean I need to sleep even more? Points that way. Massage was a big trigger--leaves me still and quiet.

Had a running/flying dream last night. Big dream! Lots of color and action. I was in a city and was navigating around different parts of the town. It was like a cross between Memphis and San Francisco. At one point, I decided that I needed to jog. I was up in the hilly area of the town and I started to run downhill towards the bay. I kept coming to places where the street made a drop before leveling out again. When I came to these drops, I'd clear the crown of the hill and be launched off into space. I'd soar down and get back on the street and continue running. At each launch point, I'd go from running to gliding, and then start running again.

It was exhilarating and full of juice! I'll take more dreams like that! There were other parts of the dream where I was with people and we were talking about the running and flying.

See what the dream machine brings tonight!

5368

Long day! Got up at 6:30AM and took my truck in for a service at 8AM. Rode the bus back home and had to hang out all day. Took the bus back around 5PM. What did I do all day? It went by in a blur.

Didn't sleep except for a short nap. Was hungry a lot (ate dinner at DeeDee's on way home tonight). Symptoms were noticeable--triggered, no doubt, by the shift of pattern. AC on the bus was set fairly cool. Day was fairly cool so bus temperatures were brisk.

Thought some about how I was on hold waiting for the truck--if not the truck then something else equally non-essential. I felt heavy and dull today--reprise of other days. I thought about riding the bus more. Why? For no particular reason.

I'm quieter now that the truck-drama is complete, I've eaten a hearty meal, and nighttime hovers. Have an acupressure session in the morrow. No dream reports. Dream time near.

5369

Went for a walk on the baylands--about 2 miles. Felt good! Went to the library and picked up some new stories. Read some when I returned instead of napping. Still feeling lethargic, but not sleepy.

Have to get up early in the morrow. Taking the truck in for a service. Only put 5,000 miles (or less) over the past year. Have saved a lot on gasoline! Vehicle only has 55,000 total miles. Still a somewhat new transport.

Went to set the alarm on my clock and the battery died. Too late to go out for a battery. Set an alarm on my mobile phone. Will see how that fares in the morning.

Dream report--not much to report. After big CEO dream the other night things have gone quiet. Time to get horizontal and see what dreams may appear.

5370

Lethargic day today! Can't raise my energy levels. Napped after lunch, but have been in a haze otherwise. For some reason I keep thinking it's Sunday instead of Monday. The days and hours mush together. Plan on heading to the beach tomorrow. Let the briny air refresh my spirit.

No dream elements from last night. Slept soundly and didn't want to arise this morning. Reading some in both books. Will finish tonight and do a library run in the morrow.

Feeling lethargic but restless. Growing tired of moping my way through each day, of being low energy.

Got some notices from LL about some seminars/talks by Gilbert Renaud--about Total Biology, a framework regarding health and healing. He also gives private readings/sessions. May enroll for a session to help me breakthrough into a new space/place/state of grace.

5371

Sun-day! Slept and rested quite a lot. Feeling a bit antsy as well as sleepy. Symptoms somewhat more active today, hence the sleepiness.

Dreamed last night that I was being made the CEO of a large corporation (like HP for some reason). I was meeting with all of the top management to introduce myself and ferret out issues and concerns. I kept thinking as I was being introduced and giving talks that I was totally mismatched for the role I was being asked to take. I was aware of a rift between what I was expected to do and what I was capable of doing. I was being asked to be decisive and to take a leadership role. I was, internally, not doing that.

There was a scene where I was in a boat about to do some fishing. It brought back the memory of when I was a fishing guide. I was telling someone there about those times.

Feel like going horizontal early tonight. Been reading stories in Rescue Missions. Dark, dreary stories filled with human foibles and fears! A book I'll be happy to complete!

Didn't walk today! Need to do so--maybe on the baylands in the morrow and the beach on Tuesday. Let the steps begin!

5372

Cool and sleepy day! After over a week of not needing a lot of sleep, the need came back today. Felt alright though and I went with the flow. Symptoms were a bit more noticeable today as well.

Had lunch at DeeDee's, which set up a big sleep--but the food was good.

Spent some time unraveling a computer glitch. Had problems unzipping a file of photos. In trying to unzip the file, ended up downloading and installing a current version of StuffIt Expander. Had problems with the install (instructions not totally clear) and once it was installed I managed to lock up my system trying to unzip the file of photos. Finally got things unraveled except still can't expand the photo's file. It's corrupted and trying to unzip it would probably lock up my system again. Will just trash it instead.

Had a pastry and milk with L. She was working today. She complains, but she does it.

Getting late! Adieu, adieu!

5373

Cool, quiet day! Slept a little. Was nice to have a quiet day after a week of rushing around. Yesterday's acupressure massage was energizing as well as balancing. The series of body treatments during the past week are producing good results. I went ahead and scheduled another session with Rebecca for the end of the month. She'll be learning more over the next few weeks that she'll bring back with her.

My son in SoCal sent me a note about a de-ion/de-tox foot bath that he got at his chiropractor. Sounds like something that would help me with my recovery. Will check it out. So many interventions--so many ways to heal!

His wife sent the latest round of grandkid's photos and videos. Technology is incredible! Who would have dreamed? Well somebody did and here it is!

I don't recall my dreams from last night. Maybe tonight's will be remembered.

5374

Cooler day! Good acupressure treatment! Didn't feel the need to nap this afternoon and also didn't want to rest. Washed my truck! That's something different. Made an appointment for a service next week. Symptoms light; energy up. It's been a good week between the two acupressure treatments.

May head to the beach tomorrow since I didn't make that trip because of other events. Will see when the sun rises (or even if it doesn't).

The SRF materials are covering the Om meditation. Requires the use of props and is difficult for me to do sitting. I think I've worked out a way to do it in my semi-prone position. Will see how it works. Like the feeling of it--just not happy with the mechanics.

Digestion acting up a bit. Ate some chicken and it didn't assimilate well. Nothing major though--just have to eat lightly as everything clears. I get the message--very little or no animal meat. I get it! I get it!

5375

Good day! Went to the chiropractor and he confirmed yesterday's adjustments--noted where there was alignment in the places Rebecca treated. Also did my laundry today. Two things in the same day--progress. Also had a nice lunch at the little Persian cafe--rice, salad, and chicken with eggplant topping. Was good.

Didn't sleep much today--rested some but was not sleepy. Went to bed early last night and slept soundly. Attribute that result to Rebecca's treatment.

Was warm today and still is muggy tonight. Dreamed last night but no details recalled--something happy I believe.

Have acupressure massage tomorrow morning. With SC session and today's chiropractic work, I'm still feeling last week's massage as well. Should be an interesting time tomorrow.

Got an alumni magazine from my alma mater. See photographs of people I knew 40 years ago! Some are recognizable, some not. Takes me back in time!

5376

Cooler day! Made it nice to drive over to SC and do a session with Rebecca. She gave me an energy balancing/skeletal adjustment that was very energizing and opening. Still feeling the effects although I also feel ready for a early checkout tonight. The treatment was effective and keeps on pointing me in the direction of body work as key in my recovery.

Tomorrow is a session with the chiropractor and then an acupressure session on Thursday. What will it all bring? Good stuff, I would hope. I'm still feeling the results of last week's acupressure session. Let it all be cumulative! Let it be, let it be!

Was hungry after today's session. Made it to DeeDee's for dinner. Tasty, tasty!

Read late into the evening last night. We talked about this "reversal" of energy patterns and what might be underneath it all. I seem to want to sleep all day and read all night. No matter what, sleep is healing. I guess I'll keep doing it. Better than not sleeping by a long shot.

Onward and onward! Let the good times roll! Let 'em roll, let 'em roll!

5377

Cooler today and tonight. Symptoms quiet. Rested a lot. Did go for a walk after breakfast--felt good. Not as long a walk as yesterday, but still over a mile. Will be easier to start walking everyday when the weather cools.

Shaved and showered (cool) late today and went out for dinner. Had a light dinner at Whole Foods--tasty but expensive. Just didn't feel like searching for a decent place to eat since so many places were closed. Came back and napped (what's new)--felt the symptoms recede.

Heading over to SC tomorrow for a session with Rebecca. Not sure, right now, what we'll do. Play it by ear (whatever that means). Until the morrow!

5378

Holidaze! Heat! Sleep and rest! Went for a long walk on the baylands today. Walked nearly a 2-mile loop. Felt good. The exercise felt really good. Symptoms were moderate most of the day--might have been related to the walk. Perhaps it's time to amp up the daily exercise.

Woke up with a call from PG. He called a bit after 8AM--when he thought to call and did so. Did my Qigong ritual and ate breakfast. Napped for a bit and then went to the baylands for a walk. Came back and napped again. Then took a shower and went out for lunch around 2PM. Got back around 4PM. Finished Everything Becomes Illuminated--a good book once you get into it--powerful and very quirky.

Rested/napped as the heat peaked. Awoke when things had cooled. Was a good day. While I was eating lunch, I felt clear--steady and clear. Nice feeling!

Dreamed last night--two dream segments. One involved being in a boat. There was a storm coming and we were trying to move the boat to a safer berth. RS was piloting and he was having some difficulty coming about and heading for safety. He finally did so and we went flying down this one canal.

Second dream segment involved me doing an inventory of learning concepts as compiled in stacks of learning documents. It was a daunting task, but I was eager to get started and did so.

Feel asleep reading Rescue Missions--a set of short stories that are almost too raw and real. But, didn't stop me from sleeping. Holiday day tomorrow. Will walk again tomorrow and get back into the pattern. SC on Tuesday; chiropractor on Wed (and laundry); acupressure on Thursday; beach on Friday (perhaps). Moving on!

5379

Day of heat! Night of more of the same! Cooling off slowly--tomorrow more of the same. Making it difficult to keep an even keel. Symptoms are still light, but the heat makes it more difficult to adjust.

Dreamed last night that I was on an island. We were making preparations for birthday event. There was a hurricane warning. A storm was going to make it treacherous to hold the party in the inlet we had chosen. People were rushing back and forth trying to batten down loose items before the main front hit the area. I was somewhat in charge and people kept asking me questions. I kept telling them to make their own decisions--that it would work out.

Had lunch at DeeDee's today. Food helped stabilize things for me. I'd eaten lightly the past few days because of the heat. I was ready for some hearty food.

Slept/rested quite a bit today. Fell asleep last night in the living room--on the floor where it was cool. Awoke around 2AM and went to bed. Daze without end! Keep on trucking! There must be a harbor somewhere!
