Definitely cooler today and tonight! Winter is a'comin in! It's reaching through the walls and penetrating the rooms. I have to adjust my routines and regimens to account for the change in seasons.

Did a resistance training session today. That felt good. I felt like the 10lb weights were lighter than normal. Arm strength is up! Have a bit of a tweak going on in my right hip area--sciatica. The cold weather doesn't help! Resistance class had a host of new people today--many of the regulars not there. Hope all is well with some of the regulars who have not been there the last few times.

I was dreaming last night that I was on a camping trip. In reality, it started to rain quite heavily as I was sleeping and dreaming. In the dream, one of the camp mates was showering everyone with a hose. We were on the ground in our sleeping bags and he was sprinkling us. I started rolling to avoid getting wet and I rolled off of the bed (in reality). I had launched myself off of the bed, onto the floor, and half way across the space between the bed and the closet. It took me a moment to realize what I had done. I didn't hurt anything thank goodness. I crawled back into the bed and under the blankets.

Watched a somewhat tedious French film this evening--Life and Nothing But. It was about a cadre of soldiers who were assigned to retrieve and identify war dead in a French region where many bodies had been hurriedly buried. This was at the end of WWI. I found the whole thing not that interesting. The storyline was moderately intriguing (two women trying to find the body of a loved one not knowing that they were looking for the same man). Enough said, I think! It got good reviews. I just couldn't get into it all that well.

Weekend arrives! Dearth of classes for the next few weeks. Have to come up with some alternate activities that will maintain my physical status. We shall see!
