Changes to everything! It's now raining heavily and the temperature has turned balmy. I have a kink in my right kidney area--I'm getting muscle spasms. I'm having to move with deliberate speed. Also having muscle spasms in my solar plexus. I think these ailments were triggered by the "volleyball" game we played in gait and balance class on Wednesday. Stomach/bowel ailment seems to be abating--still having to watch what I eat though.

Went to weight training class today. Wasn't sure, given the muscle twinges that I'm having, if I could do the session. I was careful and made it through the whole thing. Just have to be aware of what I'm doing and that seems to help keep everything aligned.

Window guy showed up (finally) to replace the one broken window pane. Seems to already make a difference. The one missing pane was letting a lot of cool air flow though the place. Now, I'm hermetically sealed!

Watched a tense movie tonight--The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum. A German film based on a novel by Heinrich Boll about the effects of the media on a person's life. It was a good film and applies today as much as when it was made (media effects on lives). The film was remade in the 80s for American TV but I suspect Marlo Thomas and Chris Kristofferson will not be as good as the German cast. Also the storyline was modified from that done in the German version.

Well, off to creaky bed and see how the body rebounds. Did not do Qigong today. Have to get back to it! Dreamed last night that I was taking a group of young kids on a hike. We were traversing some rugged terrain--returning over some locations we had covered in a previous dream. It was sort of a dream continuation where we were returning over some territory that we had traversed in an earlier dream. There were some tense moments when we came upon a sheer drop off that we had to navigate around.
