Gait and balance class today was a tough go. The instructor worked us hard. It was difficult for me to keep up so it must have been a challenge for others. I could feel how much stronger I am because of all the other classes that I'm doing. I'm feeling great! I nodded off this afternoon--had to rest and sleep some--but had a green tea latte which raised my energy levels.

Been dreaming but don't recall any at this time. Lots of stuff going on but dreams will return, as always.

Watched a German film this afternoon--Yella. It's a metaphysical thriller (perhaps) about a woman who's trying to break off her ties to an abusive husband. She finds a job in another town and is planning on moving there. Her husband offers to take her the train station. She reluctantly agrees and finds herself being driven off a bridge by her irate spouse. From there, the film gets surreal. She manages to escape the sinking car, makes her way to the train station, and begins her new life--or does she? Without giving away the ending, she finds herself as a business companion to a venture capitalist. Her accounting skills (which she was trained to do) helped her work with the VC and contribute to his negotiations. Meanwhile, her ex-spouse is stalking her. And the show goes on--back and forth, up and down, riding on the merry-go-round! The film uses sharp and realistic camera work--with an overall content and style similar to German films by Michael Haneke. Enough film reviewing! Time for dreams!
