Signed up for CW dance class today--class starts a week from next Monday. Went to the auto supply store and picked up a headlamp for my truck--left front lamp was not working. I spent about two minutes figuring out that I did not know how to replace the bulb--even with the user's guide. What was in the guide didn't seem to correlate with what was actually on the truck. I punted and drove to the local Firestone repair station. The guy at the service counter was really helpful!

I mean really helpful! He spent about 20 minutes figuring out how to pop the light panel out so the bulbs were exposed and could be replaced. It was not all that simple to do. I thanked him for the tutorial and his help in making the fix. There was no charge! Like I said--really helpful.

I went to Panera's for lunch. Just after I picked up my order, a set of tour vans pulled into the parking lot and disgorged dozens of people who looked like they were some kind of church group on tour. I don't know if the horde descended on the order stations and overwhelmed the kitchen. I had a Cobb salad, which I enjoyed, and then got out of there.

I fell into a somewhat manic mode last night. I stayed up late playing Just Words. After finally getting to sleep, I had several active dreams--some of which had me flailing around as if I was fighting someone. Over the past two nights, I've had dream elements involving me appearing before a group of elders. The scenes were not exactly like trials, but had more to do with me gathering information from wise counsels.

I started taking Flomax yesterday and it appears to be working already. Some of the enlarged prostate symptoms have eased (urination issues and such). I don't know if it's related, but I was unusually hungry today.
