The new year is near! Haven't heard any premature fireworks so far, but they will soon be here. It was fairly cool most of the day. Now, the temperature seems to be staying in the 40s. Welcome in the new year with only a little frost perhaps.

Dreamed last night that I had been recalled to do some work in a company I had left. I seemed to know quite a few people and they were welcoming me back warmly. There was a problem with a set of controls that were built into the product. I discovered that one of the three settings was being automatically triggered when the other two controls were changed from their nominal values. I seemed to discover this problem by reviewing some of the specifications. The answer sort of jumped out to me as I reviewed the documentation. We, meaning most of the people at the facility, got together for a celebration once the word went about that a solution had been found.

I must have worked hard in the dream since I slept in quite late this morning. I think I recall waking up around 6AM and falling back to sleep until 8:30AM. That's about an hour longer than I usually sleep in. My whole day was shifted around by my late awakening.

Watched Strictly Ballroom tonight. It's an engaging film that was done on a shoestring budget. There was something about the Paso Doble music that was really moving for me. I'm going to watch the scenes with that music a few more times.

So, happy new year to all and to all a good night! I'll wake up in 2011! Having won the MegaMillion lottery perhaps! Why not?

I did a Sudoku puzzle in 5:52 tonight. My personal best!

4161

Cold today and tonight! Winter rides in with the new year. Went to the H's to hear GH do his show on Kaddish. It was his first full run through with an audience (six friends). It, he, was superb. He really is a genius! The show ran a bit over an hour and he never faltered. He brought the people mentioned in the piece fully to life. He did some minor tweaks to the original work to make it more coherent when performed. He will do it next year either at the bookstore or in his house. It was a privilege to be there for his "opening" performance.

From the sublime to the dreadful! I watched a British movie tonight--Passport to Pimlico. It was an older film--a British comedy. It was an OK film but really very silly and idiotic. No need to say what it was about since it's not one that should be watched.

Dreamed last night that I was in a house with a wife and two kids. We had visitors who were in the living room. They had arrived unexpectedly and we were trying to work out what to do if they wanted to stay overnight. At one point, I kept flying up into the air. I would zoom across the kitchen and carom off the wall back into the room. I was trying to calm down but I kept bouncing about. It was idiotic and silly like the movie but much funnier.

MegaMillion draw tomorrow! Huge jackpot! May I enjoy such fortune! Picked up some medication today. I hadn't hit the donut hole on my Medicare allotment so I thought I'd grab a bottle of pills to help with the 2011 donut hole. Got my Medicare medical booklets today. What a waste of paper! I'd asked for online distribution. The federal wheels turn slowly!

Got a holiday card from my daughter today. Grandkid is growing quickly. She is delightful!

4162

Cold today and tonight! Low is going to be in the high to mid 30s. Winter is a'comin in!

Watched the movie The White Ribbon at the H's tonight. It was a good film--difficult to deal with but good none the less. It's about a small village in Germany before WWI and the craziness that happens when a group of repressed kids start acting out. These kids grow up to be adults in the Third Reich. The movie never goes there but rather it lays the groundwork to let you guess at what is to happen. The cinematography is spectacular, which adds to the horror being played out with the kids.

Slept my regular ration of sleep today. Awoke and arose finally around 10:30AM. Went out for a late lunch, did my walk and came back and napped for several hours. Got up and took my medication and went back to sleep. Sleep, sleep and more sleep. May the clocks unwind. May the stars shine brilliantly until the sun appears. May my dreams be joyous!

4163

Went to the H's today to read the next chapter of the Unconsoled. My symptoms started kicking in as I read. I was shaking so badly that I almost had to stop reading. Symptoms are getting more pronounced. When I came back, I went to bed and slept for a couple of hours. I also did a centering prayer session before climbing into the bed. That helped moderate the symptoms some, but I awoke with them back again. Going to increase my medication starting in the new year (next week) and see if that helps moderate things. I was trying to wait until classes restarted, but that may not work.

Watched Casablanca this afternoon. It's been a while since I've seen it. It was almost like a new movie. A classic film! Ingrid Bergman is luminous. A great story!

Picked up a MegaMillion lottery ticket. May good fortune come my way! That would be a great way to start the new year. Why not!

4164

End of the year looms. The end of the year is nearly here. I think I'm going to sleep through the event. Through it and on into the newest days. Can't get enough of that sleepy time stuff.

I dreamed last night and this morning but don't recall any details. I can remember dreaming but not what the dreams were about.

Picked up a host of DVDs today--enough to last me through the week and into the new year. I watched a PBS film called Place of Execution. It was a mystery/thriller that had an intricately woven story line. It was set in two times--mid 60s and the 90s. In the 90s, a reporter was putting together a piece about some incidents that took place in the 60s. Who done what to whom was the foundation of the story. It was a British film but was not overly accented with the Queen's English.

The holidays have totally interrupted the TV shows that I've been following. Hopefully, regular programing will resume in 2011. Until then, I'll be watching lots of movies. I seem to be averaging a film a day easily when the TV shows are on hold.

Did an episode of centering prayer last night before bed. It seemed to lift the clouds a bit today. I also did a little of it as I awoke, but it wasn't the same as in the quieter evening time.

4165

Day of lots of sleep! Got a call from GH wanting to get together so he could preview his next performance piece--Kaddish. However, he called back and canceled. I went out for a while and came back and slept for a couple of hours. I did a walk while I was out. The park was more crowded than usual. The weather was brilliant so people were out and about.

One more week of treading water until classes restart. I'm looking for some spiritual practice that I can do each day to help bridge the long hours of stillness that I seem to generate. Heard a piece on NPR about centering prayer. I looked it up on the Web and it looks interesting--simple and doable. There are local groups that meet occasionally. No problem with having to go to a remote location. Will be checking it out! I need to find something to help break me loose from the box I'm in. Out, out damned box!

Dreams last night were again very sharp and clear. I still don't recall the details but the images and actions were sharply rendered. The images have been very distinct--like scenes from movies.

4166

Christmas Day! Party at the H's last night was a lot of fun. It was crowded but people spread out around the place. GH did some performing and singing that was wonderful. There was a little bit of story telling about old times. It was a very personable and touching evening. And, there was plenty of things to eat.

I came home and had some trouble falling asleep. I dreamed a really clear-imaged dream perhaps earlier this morning. I can't recall the story behind the dream. I remember seeing really sharp images of the people I was interacting with in the dream.

I slept in late today, went back to sleep after eating a late breakfast. Have a film for tonight--about seances.

4167

Christmas Eve! I'm heading to the H's for a Christmas Eve dinner. Slept a lot today. Also walked my route in the park. I'm walking about 20 minutes. Hopefully, can build up and make it to 30 minutes. Right now, I'm doing a brisk 20.

Feeling jangly. Got a note from my acupressure person about a session in January. Hate this down time. I'm ready for classes to restart.

Well, off to the party. Ho, ho, ho!

4168

Managed to get in another walk today. The rain let up and the sun appeared. I felt somewhat stiff today, but still did a loop in the park. I came back and slept for a few hours--a good restful sleep.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Just a bit over a week and I can get back to classes. Looking forward to the new year and the resumption of classes.

Watched a British/Irish spy film tonight--Hidden Agenda. It was a bit uneven and not all that hidden. I found myself drifting away from the story several times throughout the film. There were spots where the narration was used to deliver context that really bogged down.

Had a nice Thai dish for lunch--a fish and rice special with moderately spicy broth. I like the Thai place and I eat there about once a week now. It's always fairly busy and pulls in a steady luncheon crowd.

Dreamed last night but don't recall the details. Dinner with the H's tomorrow night. There will be a big crowd. I'm feeling a bit anxious about going with so many people. Will try and rest some tomorrow before the event. Ho, ho, ho!

4169

Walked again today and it helped. Also did a little exercise, and some sleep. Went to the H's tonight and we watched Witness for the Prosecution. It was good the second time around. It's a great story--plots within plots.

Cool tonight and the rains have abated. Could see the full moon.

Dreamed last night that I was being shown an ex-wife's apartment. It went on forever, room after room. The place was huge, labyrinthine! And the rent was some incredible low price. In a second part of the dream, I was driving to a new job location. I kept getting confused about where I was to turn. At one point, I had driven off the freeway and was in some rundown area of the city. It was dark there and the people on the street were scary. I was in the wrong part of town. I kept plowing ahead until I came to an on ramp sign. I took it and got myself back on the freeway. I was worried that I was going to be mugged or worse.

As I arrived home tonight, I walked away from my truck and met two police officers coming into the complex. They weren't all that friendly. They asked where apartment #1 was located and I pointed to the door. Wonder what that was all about. Mysteries of the night!

4170

The eclipse has eclipsed. The solstice has solsticed. All's right (or wrong) with the world. Feeling better today. Slept a lot and went for a walk after eating around midday. The walk felt good.

The rains have returned. It's still somewhat light. Other places are being drenched.

Watched a movie tonight--Thief. It was a gangster film about a thief who has dreams of a normal life. But his normal life is never going to happen. The plot was fairly predictable--everybody gets hurt in the end. The lead actor was James Caan. He was good in the role of the independent wise guy who has skills at being a thief. Tuesday Weld was Tuesday Weld.

Plan on doing a walk again tomorrow. Trying to work up to walking some every day. Keep the blood and muscles moving. Oh, yeah!

4171

Eclipse is happening behind the clouds. Not sure that sky will clear as the event occurs. Will have to catch the next one in about 500 years (lunar eclipse and solstice at the same time).

Had a rocky day today. Keep having dyskinesia episodes no matter when I take my medication. Cool, wet weather is hot helping. Plus anxiety is also at work. Just want to sleep. I've been trying to do some exercises. I need to do more though. Reading with BH today also triggered symptoms. I experienced some anxiety doing the reading.

Watched an Australian film We of the Never Never. It was about a woman who went into the outback and had to deal with the primitive conditions there. She went with her husband who was in charge of herds of cattle and horses. She had to break through barriers with her husband, the ranch hands, and the aboriginals. It was a beautifully filmed work. The story was a bit long and it wasn't until nearly the end that the woman's character started taking over.

Dreamed last night but no details are memorable now. I awoke several times last night for various reasons (noise, rain, symptoms, kidneys). Got a call from LL in Hawaii. She found a place in La Jolla and is moving back to the mainland. Her place in La Jolla sounds great! It's near the beach, the center of town, and has many amenities. It's a bit pricey but not all that bad given where it's located.

The H's Christmas Eve dinner is turning into a major affair. There will be 20+ people!

4172

Spoke with my SoCal son this evening. He asked me if I remembered a trip we had made together to Disneyland. I seem to remember parts of it, but there is a lot of detail that is lost. I seem to remember less and less, especially details. I seem to remember everything through a thick fog. Events have piled upon the other and I only remember sketchy elements. I'm lost in Fogland and will never return.

Dreamed last night that I was working with a team of people designing a new toy. We were getting bogged down making a prototype. There was a whole scene where people were putting heavy, metal objects into a compartment on the toy. I pointed out that the whole thing was unwieldy and that the child might be hurt if they tried to push it up an incline. We broke up for a break and so we each could review what had been done. JH, one of the product designers, went back to our cubicle and came up with a great idea. He fashioned thin cardboard cards that had inlays of conducting wire embedded in each card. The cards could slide over each other and could be directed by small currents sent through the wire. He built a prototype and it worked perfectly. It was a joyous dream.

Rains came on and off all day. My truck's getting a bath, which it needed badly. Watched a film called The Cooler tonight. It was about a guy who is so unlucky that he works for a casino as a cooler--a person who sits in on tables where someone is hitting a lucky streak and cools down the action. He wants to leave the work but the casino's owner wants him to stay. He meets a waitress and his luck changes. That causes him more problems with the casino. How it all works out is the story that unfolds. It was good entertainment--nothing spectacular, but fun.

Weekend has been a blur. Time is moving slowly. The day drags by even when I sleep away the whole morning. I am waiting--waiting for Godot! And he is late in coming and always here already. I'm growing weary with all of the waiting around. I would rather be doing--what exactly I can't seem to bring into the light. Perhaps the solstice-eclipse will reveal the secret.

4173

Some rain but nothing like the forecasts--yet! Just a steady drizzle most of the day. Made it out to do my laundry. No big crowds at the Laundromat. People are shopping. There was plenty of traffic.

Got an invite for a Xmas eve dinner from the H's. They both are back in good health and I'll resume our reading of The Unconsoled on Monday.

Went to Como Esta for a quesadilla. They were busy and there was a lot of chaos in the air. Grabbed my food and went back home to eat.

Watched a Boorman (Deliverance) movie tonight--The General. It was a gritty movie about a "king of thieves" in Ireland. It was a good movie. Reminded me of the Cohen Brothers films. John Voight had a key role both here and in Deliverance. Didn't nap today. Starting to fade even though it's still quite early.

4174

Tote that barge, lift those weights! PD weight training class today felt really good. Now, I'm on my own in terms of classes for the next three weeks. No classes so I'll have to make sure I do something every day in order to keep everything on an even keel. Just have to do it!

Hint of coming rains today. Not much yet, but it's on the way. Laundry day tomorrow as the rains begin. Ran some errands today and picked up some new books from the library. Paid another year on my post office box. I can always cancel and get a refund if I end up moving elsewhere.

Watched an Agatha Christie movie Witness for the Prosecution tonight. I'd not seen the movie or the play before. It was captivating! Starred Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, and Charles Laughton. A perfect mystery story with a classic ending. Lots of fun!

About time to do taxes. Got my SS notice today indicating that there is no COL increase again this year. That's two years in a row. I will still have to draw down some on my IRAs. Will do that in January and after I figure out my tax situation for this year. The time has come the walrus said. The time has come.

My digestion has been doing well. I can eat most anything (except dense protein like beef) and all goes OK. I'm still eating a lot of the same foods every day--what I call my mono-diet. But I can't argue with the results--all is steady!

4175

Movement class got things moving today. It was cold last night and I didn't want t get out of bed this morning. Finally rolled out of the covers and made it to class. Last one for a few weeks--three weeks to be correct. Same for PD weight training tomorrow. The days just roll on by!

Watched several TV shows on the Internet and then saw the film Broadway Danny Rose. It was a typical Woody Allen film--OK but nothing great. He wrote, directed and acted in the film--which is not always a good thing.

Dreamed last night a continuation of a previous dream. I once dreamed about a reconciliation with an ex-wife. We had agreed in that dream to be open and honest with each other, and we would get back together. In last night's dream, we were back together, but I discovered that she had made a major financial decision without conferring with me. She had put down a large sum of money for a donut shop. She had leased the place, redecorated it, and opened it for business. I was stunned. I couldn't understand how she thought that it was OK to go ahead and do all of that without talking with me. I awoke feeling sad and betrayed.

Rains are coming! Will wash down my truck. Looking forward to the pitter-patter.

4176

Where did the day go? I didn't get up until late morning. Took a nap after eating breakfast. Got out some in the early afternoon. Temperatures started dropping as the day declined. It's cool tonight. Forecast is for a lot of rain this weekend and throughout the next week.

Last movement class tomorrow until sessions resume in the new year.

Don't recall if I dreamed last night.

Heading to bed soon. Will read the rest of the night away.

New cafe went into the spot where Kristina's Kitchen was located. It's a Japanese Ramen house. The Kitchen had really good food. Not sure that a ramen house will be as good.

4177

PD dance showcase went well today. It'll be fun to see when CDs are made of the video that was shot. There were about 80+ people that showed up to watch. With the 20+ dancers, there were over 100 people. It was a lot of fun.

Watched a movie tonight called Eclipse. It was about ghosts and was scary ever now and then. The film spent most of the time on the reality scenes with the ghost scenes scattered throughout. Augmented by sound effects, the ghost segments were briefly frightening.

Dreamed a night ago about being with a team of people who were making a technology device. It was designed to fit into the toe area of the shoe and affected the way the leg behaved. It was some type of medical device that triggered the leg muscles and nerves. Last night I dreamed that I was editing a woman's manuscripts. She was writing complex technical reports. I was doing a lot of editing on the documents since they were being sent out for publication.

I didn't nap today even though I got up early to get to class. I'm wearing down now and will head to bed soon. No PD exercise class tomorrow (they'll restart next year). I'll make sure I do some exercises on my own as if I were in class.

4178

Feeling out of sync today. Had nothing specific to do so slept, ate, and such. But the open day (along with the weekend) made today feel like another Sunday. Strange sensation!

Looked into rentals down San Diego way. Managed (after some intense Googling) to relocate a rental in Hidden Valley (near Escondido). They have a retreat center and spa on quite a few acres. They have a few rental trailers on the property. It's an idyllic setting and their rentals are not out of sight. The place is in the foothills near Escondido and not too far from Vista, CA--another place I've looked into somewhat. Will do some more research on the place. It's crazy that they have a rental notice now and that I only saw one several years ago.

Watched the movie Elisabeth tonight. Good film! See why it garnered 7 academy award nominations. Cate Blanchett was Elizabeth!

PD dance showcase tomorrow. Will be getting up earlier than usual in order to get to the clinic for an early setup. Dance away the day!

4179

Dreamed last night that I was in a commune or collective. I was new to the place as were several others. We were being taught the procedures which involved gardening, cleaning, repairing, and much more. It was a bit overwhelming but fun. I was getting to know people and the tasks, with repetition, were becoming easier. Everyone was kind and helpful, and there was a joyous peace around the place. It was out in the country--away from the pace and noise of the cities.

Watched a French movie The Dreamlife of Angels. It was a well done film and was less abortive at the end like many French pieces. The action in the film left me feeling somewhat anxious. There were intimations of lots of possible violence that never materialized but was an undercurrent throughout.

Both of the H's have come down with a virus. No readings scheduled for tomorrow while the healing occurs. May they both be well! Time for my dreamlife! Ta, ta!

4180

Been in a fog all day. Slept in until around 10AM. Ate some breakfast and went back to sleep. Went out for a late lunch. Felt like going back to bed but didn't do that.

Watched a Czech movie United We Fall. It was an lighter take on the Nazi occupation and how a few people sheltered each other from harm despite them doing provocative things. For example, a man and his wife hid a man who was a Jew in their pantry. The lighter element was that they had a whole pig hidden there. There were many such asides throughout the film. It still had its serious side but the mix was interesting and well done.

The sunset was spectacular. The sky turned all hues of red (pink, coral) as the sun fell to the west.

It's early but I'm tired. Will soon head for the bed and read some. Goodly night!

4181

Felt good today to do some weight lifting. Didn't want to go to class. Wanted to sleep, but I went anyway. Glad I did so! Missed taking a nap in the afternoon. But fell asleep in my chair this evening. I was tired.

Dreamed last night that I was on a volcanic island. There were guards near the mouth of the volcano. They screened whatever materials were brought to be thrown into the fire. I was watching from the trees above the place where the guards were posted. I watched as they sorted through the materials, rejected what wasn't to be thrown into the flames, and tossed the rest into the caldera. I was with some other people who were bringing stuff to be burned. There seemed to be some restrictions regarding glass being thrown into the fires. Glass objects were being rejected.

Lots of coming and going in the apartment complex this afternoon and evening. Still going on even this late in the day. Probably people going shopping! Shop until they drop!

4182

Movement class, as always, provided some relief and relaxation. So little does so much! On the News Hour there was a report on the PD dance classes being done around the country. I'm fortunate to be part of that activity. One of but a few who are enjoying the benefits of that intervention.

I dreamed a couple of vivid dreams last night but don't recall the details. I think I dreamed something that was related to the Thelma and Louise movie.

Watched a German film called the Legend of Rita. The film was about a group of terrorists in West Germany that ended up escaping to and living in East Germany. They fled there before the wall came down and were helped by the secret police to blend into East German life. The story was based on some real events that took place around the 70s. The story followed one of the women, Rita, and what her life was like during those times. It was a good film.

PD weight training tomorrow. Didn't nap today. Feeling somewhat tired now. Ended up not going to the H's--GH came down with some of the cold symptoms that BH had earlier in the week. Isolation was the better part of caution! Hope they both get well quickly.

4183

Last PD exercise class for this year... Too bad! Classes don't restart until 1/12/11. A long time coming! Have a movement class tomorrow. Will be heading to the H's for our postponed lunch and reading. BH is back to health.

Came home from class today and slept for several hours. Can't get enough of that wonderful stuff! Just want to sleep the hours away. Dreamed some but don't recall any details.

Did a Sudoku puzzle in 6:06 minutes! May be my personal best! It was an easy level that has a 5:05 minute median supposedly. NPR had the NY Times puzzle master in for an interview today. Maybe something rubbed off as I listened.

Didn't win the MegaMillion lottery on Tuesday, but neither did anyone else. Will pick up another ticket for Friday's (and the next four draws) pull. One day! One day! Let the good times roll!

4184

PD dance class rehearsal went smoothly today. We're ready for the show next week.

Not much to report otherwise. Got a call from the H's that BH was back to health. That's good news!

Have a PD exercise class tomorrow. Last one until the new year. Have to figure out how to do some home exercises to bridge the gap from now until next year.

Came home from class today and napped for a while. It's like I can do one activity per day and that's it. I have to nap. Symptoms were more present today. Perhaps a combination of stress (anxiety) and the cool weather. I've started looking into places where people retire--in the U.S. and elsewhere. There are quite a few good sites with information and ideas. Checked into India. There are some limitations regarding living there that have to be weighed. But I've only just begun the research. Will be doing more over the next few weeks.

4185

Didn't make it to the H's today. BH was under the weather (or the weather got under her). They called and said she was contagious so it was best not to visit.

Napped in the afternoon after a delicious portion of General's Chicken from my favorite Chinese place. Dreamed last night (and today) that I was throwing spaceship-like objects off of a steep cliff. The updraft was catching the devices and carrying them out over the sea. There was a lot of fog and the silver-colored objects were floating in and out of the haze. A second dream involved putting together a demonstration program that was going to be used in a presentation. BA was there and had some insightful comments and suggestions of how to make the program more interactive. I made the changes he suggested and the demonstration was a big success.

Watched a Taiwanese film call Good Men, Good Women. It was a turgid, confusing movie about revolutionaries in the 50s who were caught and abused. It had a plot that revolved around the people making a film of that period and having those events affecting the actors today. As I said it was confusing and very slow-paced. I just discovered that the movie is the last in a trilogy about the history of Taiwan. Perhaps I may have liked the film better if I saw the first two segments--but I doubt it!

PD dance class rehearsal tomorrow. The show is next week!

4186

Met with men from the men's team this morning. RB, RM, BH were there. Missing RS and RR. RS is out of the country and RR was busy. The men who were there came with their SOs and BH's new baby. There was a lot of catching up with each other. We took over a table for 8 for the better part of two hours.

Nearly everyone at the table had an iPhone. There was a lot of image exchanges as well as looking up things. RM's daughter-in-law is becoming well known entertainer. People were downloading some of her music and playing it.

I walked to breakfast and back (we ate at Hobee's). It was good to get some walking in even with the rain. When I got back I collapsed and napped.

Got a check in call from my son in SoCal. He called just as I thought about him. We were on the same wave length.

Watched a tedious Japanese samurai film Goyokin. Had a few interesting camera shots but was too drawn out. Going to the H's tomorrow for lunch and to read a chapter of the Unconsoled aloud. Reading in the rain!

4187

Did laundry today. Almost no one in the place. I got in and out in good time.

Meeting with men from the men's team tomorrow. Will be a while since we've been together. Not everyone can make it but will be good to see whomever shows up.

Took a nap today after doing laundry. Fell asleep sitting up. I'm tired now. Will head to bed soon. Feeling heavy and logy--perhaps an after effect from the weight training yesterday.

Rain forecast for tonight, tomorrow and on/off for the next 10 days. Let the raindrops fall!

4188

Lifted those heavier weights today! The weight training person picked up some eight and ten pound weights. I could really feel the difference using the eight pounders. Will see how they affected me tomorrow. Expect to be a bit achy from the workout.

Watched a movie tonight--Prizzi's Honor. It was an OK film but a bit too much trying on the part of the actors. The actor who did the part of the crime boss was really bad. Jack Nicholson was Jack Nicholson. There were a few comic moments, but for the most part it was tedious.

I felt pretty good today. Didn't nap in the afternoon (I did sleep in this morning) and didn't really feel like one. I'm tired now.

Laundry day tomorrow. I have a light load. Dream time! Happy Hanukkah!

4189

Movement class was great today! The class helped me relax and let go. The result was a lot less symptoms. This week's resumption of classes definitely calmed things down. Feels good! Weight training class tomorrow. Feel the burn!

Watched a movie called Search tonight. It was an older film done in b/w. It was about a boy who got separated from his mother near the end of the war. He is reunited with her through a set of twists and turns. This was Montgomery Clift's first major role that set off his career. The young boy in the movie was extraordinary and was awarded a special Oscar for his role.

Dreamed last night about something that had to do with objects that were hidden in other objects. The dream took place in a factory where the objects were being made. There were small silver objects that were being found inside a larger set of objects. They were not supposed to be there. The dream involved devising ways to detect the hidden items. Everything was some sort of hi-tech device that was being used in covert operations.

4190

PD exercise class today was welcome. Not moving/exercising and so forth for the past two weeks was definitely noticeable. Going to have to put together an exercise plan that keeps me moving during the class down times. Also, going to have to augment my heating resources. This prolonged cool weather is taking its own toll.

Heading over to the H's for movie night tonight. Not sure which movie we'll be viewing, perhaps the 12 movie I watched last night. Only issue is that it's so long--almost three hours.

Dreamed last night that I was being given an initiation talk regarding going into an area. The surroundings were rugged and rocky. I was warned about an area that looked like it held a lake. The "lake" was not filled with water, but a waxy material that looked like water. I came up to the edge of the "lake" and because I was hot and sweaty, I jumped into the stuff thinking I would cool off. Of course, the waxy material clung to my clothes and gear. I had to be pulled from the goop and had to clean up everything.

Movement class resumes tomorrow. Looking forward to it!
