I sleep a lot, and I dream a lot. The more I dream, the more I sleep. I find it amazing entertainment. I seldom have the dreams that bring real life in. I have way out there dreams about things that I've not even seen on the big screen.

This afternoon's nap was set during the industrial revolution, but I was a film noir private detective. And then aliens invaded, and the first wave was fought against holograms.

In the middle of my dream, I woke up to go to the bathroom. I could have stayed up, but this dream was way too interesting. I was able to slip back into my bizarre dreamworld.

If only I was a wordsmith, able to give my dreams life for others. They aren't always this bizarre, but today's was fun. Usually the details slip away even as I am waking up.

Went to the gym today. I had just weighed in on my wii fit, and of course it reminded me I'm obese. Yes, it says it out loud, in case you missed seeing it on the screen. I'm the heaviest I've ever weighed, and I want to change that.

I used to have a foot problem. One that prevented me from doing ANY high impact activity like jogging. My surgery last year took care of that, and I'm cautiously going to give it a try for the first time in my adult life. Previously the furthest I have ever "jogged" was from the grocery store entrance to my car in the rain. Not exactly racing material.

I got on the treadmill and did a warmup walk. I was using an app for my phone designed to help with the couch to 5K program. I jogged when it told me to run. It even said "good job" when I could resume walking. It was a strange realization that I had never actually jogged for fitness before. I did stay on the treadmill for 30 minutes, but not much of it was actually jogging. So I didn't even successfully complete the first day of the couch to 5K program. Ugh. So I'll just have to repeat day 1 til I've got it down, then move on to day 2.

And I actually do want to do a 5K this year. I'm intending to complete it, not actually be competition for genuine runners. Then in the fall, I want to do the Dirty Girl Mud Run. I've got quite a bit of work to do before I'm ready for that, though.

Why is (e:tinypliny) not at the party?

I think you might be interested in this track:

I was so excited about sharing photos here. I went sailing for the first time and got some new photos of Buffalo from angles I've never seen before. Then we decided to go swimming, and my camera went to the bottom of the harbor. My lanyard broke, and camera sunk. Grr. I had a floating wrist strap attached to a waterproof camera, and I was foiled by a sucky piece of string.

I gave up on retrieving the camera and swam over to the breakwall. Jonathan, the sailboat owner, decided to bring the boat over to the breakwall to pick me up, rather than have me swim back to the boat. It was kind of cool getting back on a boat as it was in motion.

We sailed back into the marina, and randomly decided to swim again. I don't think you're supposed to swim in the marina, but we did. Then some food at the Hatch.

Some of Jonathan's friends live in the really nice condos on the harbor. We were invited over for a tour. OMFG. I didn't realize people actually live like that. We watched the sun set from the 10th floor of a gorgeous abode...
