Woke up late—11 AM. I dreamt last night that I caught a cold from Brian and/or Kelly even though we did "distance hugs" when arriving and departing. I also dreamt separately that it was raining very warm rain and I was in an area of sloping grass and water was streaming down the grass making it a little muddy and people wanted to slide down the hill in the warm muddy water but no one did. In the same dream I dreamt there was a puppy a little bigger than the size of my hand and it was running around on the ground in the rain. I picked it up with one hand and wanted to take it with me somewhere, but it wriggled loose and lay down near the building we were near out of the rain. I wanted to show Patrick the puppy, but I didn't know where he was so I let the puppy be. Tina appeared briefly in this dream. I was afraid she was watching me, and when I looked around the corner of the building, I saw that she was right there not very far away. She came after me quickly with an stern expression on her face, but I don't remember what that was all about and the dream drifted into something else.—We listened to Anthony and Champagne's music from their wedding. Did house chores: dishes, laundry, tidied. Late lunch with Patrick at Eric's Restaurant. Picked up dry cleaning in the Castro. Vanilla flan and a cannele and coffees with Patrick in Cole Valley at Boulange. We explored Cole Valley on foot: the dog park, the boutique called "egg," a coffee shop called Reverie with a great garden in back. Back at home, Patrick mixed music while I caught up on e-mail and journaling. Scanned in two iZone photos from Domenica's camera on our vacation. Late dinner: I had leftovers from Eric's. Patrick had leftover pasta with a fresh stir-fry of veggies. Laundry, dishes. Late dessert: Breyer's coffee ice cream. I scheduled birthday greetings by e-mail for friends' birthdays coming in the next month. Riven with Patrick.
