Last night I dreamed of being in a hotel room again. This one older, big, about the size of a studio apartment. A large, older rug covering the whole main room, a rectangle. A quality imitation of an oriental rug, mostly in browns. Three mattresses on the floor and a bed, utilitarian. A large table, seating for six, also old, wooden, scarred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was there, I think, to work on a book.  This hotel housed students renting by the month, usually for one month. One time, when I came back to the room, a group of students were in it, sitting at the table chatting, eating takeout food. Surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They welcomed me. We talked about the hotel. Apparently each room key opened all the rooms in the hotel. They liked this room because it had a big table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As often happens in these dreams, I went out again and ended up not being able to find my way back up by elevator. At least not easily. I had to take an oddly shaped elevator in the lobby. It went sideways as well as up. I finally got there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This dream had a different feeling, different elements from my other hotel dreams. Often, I go to the hotel rooms, fill them up with books, research, sometimes furniture and become exasperated with so much stuff. I often stay longer than I intended to and have left without paying the bill, ashamed of not being able to move out all the stuff I accumulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This dream is for the Ancient Ones zoom tomorrow morning. I finally had one this week that I remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news. A full workout week. Getting a new workout from Deb over zoom. The 15th. My body feels good, exhaustion yesterday, slept late, but that&#8217;s fine. No lasting aches or pains. No lower back issues anymore. Maybe the testosterone has begun to rise and the Lupron recede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rigel sees her cardiologist on Tuesday. She&#8217;s eating well, her spirits are good. She&#8217;s on the antibiotics for six weeks. This is week two home, today. As I wrote this, she stood, ruff up, front feet and head pushed forward, on the deck giving her deep warning bark to some threat she saw off toward Jude&#8217;s property, to the east of us. I couldn&#8217;t see anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re also looking at a possible 5-10&#8243; snowfall on Tuesday. Whoa. Open Snow thinks it&#8217;s gonna happen. Weather5280 is hedging, but they tend to be more Denver metrocentric and we&#8217;re on the far western edge of the metro and in the mountains. The cold, below 30 up here, is good news for my allergies. A hard freeze knocks down pollen for good. Till next blooming, buzzing spring of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now where did I put that snow shovel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lughnasa and the Labor Day Moon Saturday gratefuls: VRCC.
