Acupressure, lunch (delicious spread), and movie (Something Like Happiness)! The movie was by the same Czech Republic director who did The Country Teacher. It was a little less bucolic than Teacher, but it was a strong story and beautifully filmed. The director seems to love ambiguity. The viewer is forced to pay attention since the characters come to the screen without preamble. GH gave me a synopsis when we started the film that really helped unravel the various roles and actions.

Got a note from my daughter today that the latest grandkid is doing really well. She's doubled her birth weight in a bit over two months. Growing like a weed! I'll see them both soon.

Dreamed last night a strange dream about being in an apartment with two small kids. They were in the bathroom taking a bath. I realized at one point in the dream that they had been in the tub for a long time. The water had been running continuously. I suddenly realized that the water might be overflowing. I didn't think that the kids might not be OK, just that the water may be overflowing and flooding the downstairs' units. There was another person with me in the dream--perhaps the kids' mother. Curiously enough, the apartment, the kids, and the elements in the dream were incredibly similar to some of the scenes in today's movie. It was like I was watching the movie in my dream last night, before I saw the movie today. Hmmm! What dreams we dream!
