Sailing through the days, sailing through the haze! Had a resistance training class today and felt a bit stronger than I've been feeling. Used the 10lb weights; haven't made it back to the 12lb ones yet. I was hungry today. Ate regular breakfast (fruit and kefir), had lunch (grilled cheese sandwich and salad), scarfed a dinner (fish, potatoes and veggies), and ended with some snacks. I feel better having eaten a lot--I ate lightly yesterday.

Dreamed last night a sort of continuation of previous night's dream. I was associated with a group of covert operatives. I was carrying some sort of contraband (weapons, goods, money, whatever) and was helping move the stuff to a place where it was going to be purchased. There were all manner of double dealing possibilities--in most of which I wouldn't survive. I awoke early! The dreams were tense.

Watched a fluff film tonight--The Dead. A John Huston film designed to give his daughter something to do. The story is based on a James Joyce short fiction piece by the same name. It involves a family holiday dinner where nothing much happens until near the end of everything. The woman (Huston's real life daughter) hears a piece of music and recalls a youthful love. That's it! Nothing much happens after that except the credits.

Tomorrow I will attend the memorial for ES who drowned earlier this month. He was swimming in a MN lake while on vacation. He slipped under and by the time he was pulled out, he did enough damage to his lungs so that he didn't recover. ES and his wife MS were regulars at the PD dance classes. Some members of the class (including me) will do a short dance improvisation in his honor using music and a Mary Oliver poem "The Swan."
