Last night, I got caught up in an OS update process that took hours! The system gave no warning about how long the update process would take--until the process was started and system messages started appearing. These messages last night went as high as warnings that the update process was going to take hours (even days). It actually took, in the final go round, over three hours. The download file was supposedly around 2GB--a real hog file which my system choked on until it was finally acquired and installed.

The good news is (in addition to the download made it) that the new system seems to be working--there is no (so far) strangeness.

Dance class yesterday was tiring but encouraging--I was doing some of the newer, more difficult, dances. I rested today. Last night, I had several dreams. In one dream, I was living with TD (last ex) and she began to behave oddly. I finally realized that she was going to tell me that she was leaving. The dream brought back the feelings and emotions of the time when she actually did make such an announcement. I blurted out (in the dream), "Oh, no! You are doing this again!"

I went through this same dream again later last night (or earlier this morning) with some other person (not TD). It was like an exact repeat--but with another person.

Another dream sequence involved me driving down a divided highway. There was a vehicle coming up behind me that was starting to pass me on my left. The vehicle was an all white, large van-like panel truck. It had no side or rear windows and no driver was visible. The windshield was dark and opaque. The vehicle started around me--but then veered over onto the median, crossed the on-coming lanes, and plowed into the retaining wall on that side of the highway. I tried to stop, but there was no  place to pull off. I had to go further down the road before I found a place where I could turn around and go back. I felt it was important for me to go back to the scene and give a statement of what I had seen. As I neared the crash site, vehicles had started to clog the roadway. The crashed vehicle seemed to be burning.

Tomorrow there's a workshop/dance in the afternoon. There will be about 100 people--time to dance!
