Day 2 of the new year! Slept in late, which felt good today--weather is wet and cold. Had a tasty, spicy lunch with BH (fish tacos with fresh guacamole). We watched a Spanish movie, Volver. Starred Penelope Cruz. Reminded me of the Lucretia Martel (Argentine) films La Cienaga and the Holy Girl. Volver was directed by Almodovar. Perhaps we'll see more of his films. Cruz was great in this movie--very animated and lively--and very beautiful!

I'm feeling creaky and achy. The weather is contributing to my creakiness. Need to walk more. Perhaps can get out some this weekend. Missed not getting an acupressure session today. Next week begins the collection of dance/movement classes that I signed up for last month. Looking forward to the increased movement and exercise.

Dreamed last night that I was helping tutor some students in basic mathematics problems. I ended up showing them how to verify addition answers using the "casting out nines" technique. At some point, I was awake and aware that I was dreaming, and what I was dreaming about. I recall also talking about the "halves and doubles" technique that accomplishes multiplication. This method was used in the market places before people learned how to multiply.

What dreams may come? Dreams about the pathways of the stars! Deep dreams of light!
