TOD: I recounted a dream earlier this week that has recurred over the years...about me living in a house and discovering new sections of the house that no one seemed to know existed. I do like that motif.

Slept so very well. So very well.

Hated to get up...except that once it was plain that sleep would not be in the cards, I could no longer loll in the bed.

My hair is way too long. I need a cut. My appointment is in a week. In the meantime, I'm using a hair clip to keep it from flopping over my eyes.

It is Saturday, October 7th, 2023.

How we got this far into the year is beyond me.

I have my annual cardiology appointment in four days. Count 'em, four.

It's time for coffee. And a raspberry doughnut is awaiting my inspection.

A sight we should all love to see. Do you do selfies?

I attempted to get an appointment for yesterday but my barber never answered his phone and his mailbox was full. I thought that ominous, but figured he was either taking time off or something bad had happened to him.

I later got a text informing me that he would return off vacation on the 11th and to please call back to make an appointment at that time.

I don't perform except at dinner.

I was reading myself to sleep last night, very interesting book, but as always, I reached the point of realization that I hadn't really absorbed the last several (or who knows how many?) pages because I kept dropping off, and I finally gave it up and settled down to sleep.

Then the weirdness happened. I first had a dream based on some relationship between the book's characters and events that I had literally made up. A couple of hours later in the night I had another dream that seemed to be a continuation of the first, or related to it, but from what little I can recall of it, it wasn't the same at all. It was an entirely made up situation that I don't think I could describe if I tried. And I'm not trying. There was a third one closer to morning, and I *almost* get an image from it, but it's basically gone.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #43 on:** October 07, 2023, 06:44:29 AM »

And that was my night.

As for the recurring dreams...

At some point a year or two ago I listed right here the several "themes" that repeatedly turn up in my dreams. I should try searching through my posts for it, but I'm lazy. I'll just say that one of the prime repeaters has me waking up in a place I've been, usually for a week, and this is the day it's time for us all to pack up and go home. The "us" is variable, but it's always been some kind of a group thing. And the "thing" is usually something having to do with music, or work (i.e., my former job), and infrequently it has to do with my family as it existed when I was, say, in my teens. As I begin to gather and pack my things, I find I'm actually behind everyone else in being ready to go, and the dream is then all about my getting everything together and catching up. That more or less describes it. There have been an infinite number of variations on it over the years, and I have no idea when I first had one of those. But it's been years.

Kitty cleanup is over. After I make the bed, I'm back to the Mattress score.

Yesterday evening I called the local Apple store to make my first ever appointment with a GENIUS. It will be my first ever meeting with a GENIUS, period, so this is kind of exciting. I mean, wouldn't you be a little excited at the prospect of meeting with a GENIUS?

It's time to replace the battery in my MacBook, so I have an appointment for next Thursday morning. I've got to make sure I have a couple of solid backups because I believe they said everything gets wiped, but I'd make sure to have the backups regardless. I trust nothing.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #46 on:** October 07, 2023, 06:55:10 AM »

I'm also going to have them return this laptop to an earlier OS (probably Catalina, for you Apple folks) which was the last time this now-old (2015) computer was stable and running at its best. That was also the time that the musical application MainStage was most stable and reliable for me. So this MacBook will remain a legacy machine in that respect, which is totally fine with me. That's the reason I got it in the first place. I am not alone in this. Many musicians and other creative types keep their Macs at a specific level that works for them. They take no chances with updates, and the very nice fellow who helped me on the phone miraculously understood every word of what I was saying. They have many customers in my boat, and I'll be taken care of.

And then, providing vixmom hits that damned lottery and distributes the winnings fairly, I'll get a brand spanking new up-to-date Mac to play with otherwise.

So, it's the weekend, and the rains dutifully arrived yesterday evening. Today is to be a complete washout (though it's supposed to be spotty, and we could get lucky in that regard), and tomorrow I think the rains will be gone but we'll have a major temperature drop.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #49 on:** October 07, 2023, 07:00:06 AM »

And that's the news.

One of the local performing arts high schools is doing Mattress.

I'm up, I'm up - about six hours of sleep, which is better than four.

Staying well vibes for MR BK.

Tomorrow is the annual meeting - so I must get my Promotions Repor ready for presentation.

I may have some salad to eat......and I may broil a chicken breast or two.

I am cleaning out the Closet From Hell - a bit at a time.....so I must get a garbage bag and start clearing for this week......

So much stuff that NOBODY else would ever want to see or need.....so much.
