Movement class felt good today! It seemed to do a final mending of the sore and stiff rib area. Still have to be careful and not do anything too strenuous but my ribs are much better now. Had a large meal after the movement class. I was hungry and scoffed down a huge pulled pork sandwich with a side of pasta and a walnut muffin. Still have the munchies but have snacked enough as I watched a movie this evening.

Watched a Midsomer Mystery episode called the Straw Woman. The film is an episode of a British mystery series with all manner of ways that murder is done and figured out by the erudite detectives. I don't have to think a lot with these tales. I can just relax and let the stories unfold.

Dreamed last night that I was going on a camping/hiking trip with several men from the men's team. I had booked a night at a lodge for the evening prior to the actual hike. There was some dissatisfaction with the rooms I had secured. There was some griping until I explained that sharing a room reduced the cost of the lodging for that night. There were six of us with two people in one room, three people in another room, and one person in the third room. The room fees were highest for the single room (1/3 of the total cost), less for the double room (also 1/3 of the total but split two ways, and 1/3 for the triple room split three ways. I was to take the single room. There was some confusion about where you turned off the main highway to get to the lodge. We all managed to overshoot the turnoff and had to backtrack to find the place. We came in three cars since we had a fair amount of equipment. The lodge was in a small village. Once we got settled into the lodge, we went to the village center to get some food and join some of the festivities that the community provided. I think there were more things that we did when we got to the village center, but I don't now recall just what they were. It was a very detailed dream. It was imbued with anticipation for the trek we would be making.

I've been having flushing and redness episodes again. Not sure what seems to be triggering these episodes but here they are again! Someone remarked at the end of the movement class that I had a lot of color in my face. It was a result of bending over with my arms and head dangling. It seemed to continue after class--especially when I ate the large meal. Things grew quieter as the evening went on. Who knows? That's how the flushing goes! From my head top to my toes!
