Didn't make it to dance class today. Cracked rib(s) was a bit touchy so I thought it best to not aggravate it more. It's was fairly quiet throughout the afternoon; pinching some now. Have to let it be--give it a rest. Too bad! Miss dancing! But I'll get back to it soon enough.

Had a great lunch with BH today. She's really going out of her way to fix various dishes. GH and I watched Fellini's Satyricon. An impressive film! Somehow Fellini performed magic in producing such a lush film on a really small budget (supposedly the movie was shot for $3MM in 1969 U.S. dollars). Even though many of the sets were facades, they were still done in monumental ways and with great attention to details. We have now watched a half-dozen of his films in our mini Fellini Festival. Impressivo!

Dreamed last night that I was working on a computer that belonged to a friend of mine. The computer was not working properly. The screen kept filling with overlapping, chaotic images. I couldn't keep track of the cursor and kept activating random files and applications that helped paint the screen with gibberish. I kept trying to find a way to prevent the screen from being so cluttered that I couldn't be sure what I was or was not activating. I seemed to recall that I eventually had some success and brought some order to the situation.

I'm still astounded that I cracked a rib, especially given what I was doing at the time--pulling on two objects that were stuck together. I guess leverage is everything. More so perhaps when my muscles and bones are weakened. What a cumbersome situation! Frustrating and aggravating!

Keep thinking about what I am to do as things continue to unwind. Can't help but do so! The realities of everything eats at my optimism. "Always Looking Up" is MJF's latest book. I'm having trouble looking up with my cracked rib(s) making me bend over. I guess that's from the book "Sometimes Looking Downward." Eloi! Eloi!
