Made it to gait and balance class today. I was a bit sore still but after class I used a hot/cool pad and ribs are better now. Will do movement class tomorrow. Not yet 100% but am getting there!

Had a hearty lunch and came back and slept some in the afternoon.

Dreamed last night that I was moving out of a rustic cabin-like building. There were people there, helping me to sort through things and move stuff out of the building. It was a cluttered and dirty set of rooms. Some rooms were huge but empty. Some were filled with junk. The dream seemed like it came in several parts and there was a lot of interaction with the people in the dreams--I just don't remember exactly what transpired now.

Watched on of the dullest movies I've ever seen. It is called Meek's Cutoff. It is a movie about a handful of settlers going across a high desert route. The story and action moved slowly across the screen from right to left, endlessly. The settlers had hired a guide, Meek, who took a wrong turn somewhere along the way. The group was lost and running out of supplies. They encounter an Indian who they coerce into helping them find water. The film ends abruptly without any resolution as to whether they ever find resources and make their way to safety. After watching their endless trek and then have the whole thing end with the Indian walking off into the sunset, I felt like I could have shot the people who made the movie. Dull and stupid!

Am reading Murakami's After Dark. I realized after I got into it that I had read the novel. It's interesting to read it again. It would be also interesting to read his other books and stories again as well. NPR had some of stories read aloud recently. I also have not yet read his newest novel 1Q84, but will do soon!
