Rainy, sunny, windy day! With a dollop of coolness on top! For some reason, the day seemed to go by in a fog. I'm having trouble remembering how each day passes. The near-exact repetition (eat, sleep, eliminate and miscellaneous variations of errands) makes one day seem like the other. Yo ho ho, and it's off I go! To where? It all seems the same somehow.

Watched another French film with a dangling ending tonight--Summer Hours. It was a contemporary movie about a modern family who have to deal with their mother's estate after she passes away. The story centers around a family home filled with artifacts of several persons' previous lives. The children have to confront the issues of keeping things as they are or selling off everything and going on with their busy lives. It was a well done film but still ended up with no ending or conclusion even though everyone agreed to sell off everything.

Dreamed last night that I was in a remote house (not unlike the place in the film--precognitive dream image). I wanted to go from the house to the nearest town. I asked someone for directions and was pointed to a path that followed the highway and ended up leading to the town center. Once I was in the town, I encountered a man and his caregiver who were out walking. The man had a cane and had difficulty walking. However, he still maintained a brisk pace. I noted that he had PD. He seemed not phased by his affliction and could walk quite quickly.

I also met a second man and his caregiver. He too manifested some difficulty walking but kept up a brisk pace. He also had PD and didn't seem limited by the illness. The dream was bright and clear. I talked to both men and we had conversations as we walked together.
