Last night’s was a surprisingly restful 6-hour sleep: surprising because it was done without the aid of melatonin. From 01:30 to 07:30.

There was a dream that came and, once again, it was move-related. But once again I failed to write down any notes in its regard, and once again all its details have faded from my memory. All that’s left is the vaguest recollection of its general theme. The dream itself is lost.

Ah, coffee!!

I found this delightful video clip posted on G+ as my morning pot of coffee finished perking. What perfect timing!

A crowded laundry-mat – last night’s dream.

Last night’s sleep was short and ended way too early. Only five hours long, from 23:00 to 04:00, it did bring a very detailed dream. Though the plan for today is to spend as much time as possible cleaning the old apartment, if a nap should come my way, I won’t fight against it!

The dream that came last night ended in frustration. I had a lot of laundry to do and, when I arrived at the laundry-mat, found it very crowded. The attendant pointed out a washing machine that had just become empty, but by the time I wheeled my cart over, a busy little yellow-haired woman was already loading her clothes into it.

A Fischer Random Chess Win by Queen-Rook Checkmate
