On the verge of CyberMonday! It's just a keystroke away! Shop and shop until they drop! Holidays hysteria! The world collapses and the world goes shopping.

Dreamed last night that I was in the offices of Dr. D, the chiropractor. I had come in for an adjustment and he was running late. He popped in and out several times, apologizing for the delays, and looking rather harried. His receptionist was missing and that was adding to the chaos. I decided to take over the receptionist's duties and started answering the phones, logging patients in, and trying to answer questions. Dr. D popped out and saw what I was doing. He looked relieved and he disappeared. I hung around throughout the morning sessions, doing what I could do to assist. I felt fairly comfortable. There were things I didn't know about, but I managed.

Had a partial dream this afternoon when I napped. I was in a backyard and was helping RM hang up a rope between two poles. He wanted to hang out a mattress so it would air and dry. I had to show him how to put the rope up and attach it to the two poles.

Watched a movie by Robert Bresson, Pickpocket. It was about a compulsive thief who let the good things in life go by while he continued to rob people and put himself in danger. There were vague attempts to maintain a dialogue about law and morality, but it was haphazard and sprinkled in with "lessons" on how to pickpocket in clever ways.

Managing to control the "shingles" on my lower legs. Using a moisturizing creme with lanolin and aloe vera. Seems to be doing the job. It was a bother for a while, but is now under control. Ahhh, the fragile corpus! So many ways in which it can devolve!
