Gustav wasn't as gusty as he might have been! Thank goodness! Aside from the dislocations created by the evacuations, things seemed to have turned out better than predicted for the people of NOLA. Hannah and Ike are on their way though--could be more disruption still.

Felt good this weekend. I think the acupressure session on Friday kicked loose some positive energies. I'm still foggy cognitively--I can't seem to recall details of past events all that well--I get the gist of things, but cannot connect the links to specifics.

Had a great lunch at BH's today! Her garden was filled with hummingbirds! Clicking and flicking everywhere! Made me think of old folk song: Hummingbird! Amazing that I can recall the lyrics! Some things don't go away. Heard a news story about people in near vegetative states being revived when given Ambien (sleep medication). The drug lights up the brain in some people.

Have to wonder what can be done to restore functionality by bathing the brain in "light"! I'm coming to the conclusion that I need to establish a more structured way of being--so that I can try different things, record results, and monitor my condition over time. This approach was brought to consciousness by the timed walking activity that we've been doing at the PD class.

Doing so seems clear to me in my periods of clarity--not so clear in my periods of fog.

Watched Pandora's Box with GH today. Another silent film--one of the last ones that was made right before the "talkies" emerged. It was like watching an early Hitchcock mystery in terms of plot and sustained suspense.

Have an appointment with one of my doctors tomorrow--the psychotherapist! Just a check in appointment!
