Dreams: I used to dream about high school, except high school was always set in a mall. I think that's because the anxiety producing aspects of school were always the social aspects. Actual classes were managed satisfactorily. This morning i seemed to have dreamt about work but set it in a school AND given some real math as a problem. Except the math that had everyone confounded was given as an integral over x2, but the units were all wonky and had something to do with heating the building. We all knew it was supposed to be hard, and the "teacher" was suggesting we only work on it in our spare time. I wanted to be comfortable so i wander off looking for the CRC handbook to look at the table of integrals.

Just before we left on Sunday i got a quick blackberry message from my brother saying he'd be here on Thursday and Friday. While up in my remote hide away i had enough signal to download a voicemail: SG the artist called to exclaim she was in town to surprise me, and would be staying in town until Saturday. Fortunately, it sounds like (a) work is not as crazy as it was when i left (b) my brother will be getting in late tonight and thinks a hotel would be his best bet before work tomorrow and thus (c) tonight is a fine night to have dinner with my friend.
No idea what to wear. She's staying at a Nob Hill hotel and was threatening reservations at some French restaurant. I would normally have worn jeans to work today. I might have clean slacks....

One of the things that surprised me on this trip were the wildflowers. I didn't initially notice them as the grasses were higher than the blossoms, but i quickly became aware of them hiding in the grasses. Then we went to a rhododendron preserve, just at the tail end of the season, and found marvelous lilies blooming. And then hiking on the coastal bluffs, so many! I'm not sure if the season has been longer with all the rain or if i've just never quite been in a similar location this time of year. (I probably walked on the beaches not on bluffs.)
I've a stack of "Lupine (unspecified)" and "Thistle (unspecified)" to tease out the different species, and a Monkey flower and mint to identify more precisely, and a few completely unidentified. One flower i thought was some sort of coastal buckwheat turns out to be a sea pink.
I ended up spending a great deal of vacation time processing the photos and, once i found the flower book, identifying some of the flowers. Not journalling. I did do morning yoga: did that take the place of journalling?
I need to tag details about the flowers a good deal more extensively before submitting into http://www.flickr.com/groups/wildflowers/ ; but i met the criteria for http://www.flickr.com/groups/califlora/.

I'm trying to catch up with folks but i'm about to enter "the work trance" (then the dinner trance, then the brother visiting trance...).
Hi y'all!
