Did a gait and balance class today. A good workout! It's probably the most strenuous class that I take. Basically a smorgasbord of activities (walking, stretching, and a lot more) that help tone and strengthen the muscles and the body. Also helps that it is 90 minutes in duration.

Watched a movie tonight that I had seen before--Salt. It is a thriller spy story about a woman spy who is a cross between Bourne, the Manchurian candidate, and Indiana Jones, among others. Angelina Jolie stars as Evelyn Salt, one of several sleeper spies that have been trained and planted into U.S. society. It is a tense and tight action film with lots of stunts and fight scenes. The overall thesis of the story is highly improbable, but is a good exercise in creative imagining.

Dreamed last night that I was in Cleveland, OH, the city where my father spent most of his life. I was passing through and thought I would drop in on him and say hello. For some reason, I became confused about the street where his apartment was located. After going from door-to-door and shop-to-shop for a couple of blocks, I discovered that I was on the wrong street. I was one block removed from his street. When I got to the right street, I found his apartment building and went up to see him. He was living in a place that is a lot like the apartment where I now live. There were several similarities of the two places. He seemed distracted and didn't seem all that excited about me dropping in like I had done. We talked about a lot of trivial things and I assured him that I was just passing through and had to get on with my journey. I felt really dumb about looking for his place on the wrong street.

I slept soundly last night. No waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep. May that continue to be the case! I don't think I napped any this afternoon. Have to watch taking a long nap in the afternoons--I think it affects my nighttime sleep efforts.

Movement class and an acupressure session scheduled for tomorrow! I ready for both of them!
