I realized I didn’t answer your question. Yes, trapeze like in the Circus. Her dream is to be part of Cirque du Soleil. It’s funny though because later that day after I wrote that, she was asking me about “day jobs”! She wanted to know what I thought she would like and be good at, etc. She has been with a local training/ performing company for 6 years now. It’s been really hard with the pandemic this year as they obviously have not been able to meet in person for months. In the summer, they put on shows around here and Seattle. Last year they went to San Diego. She was supposed to go to Montreal this summer for a training program there, and it got canceled. It was sad. I was going to go for a couple of weeks and visit there and Quebec. Ha! I could have met Joel!. So we are not sure if she will go next year if they have it because she will be 18. I think she will continue with training and small companies locally no matter what as it really is a true love of hers and she is good at it. Me, I’m not always so good at watching my child do some of these things  But I guess it makes me know how she felt to watch me smoke, right? Hmmm. Something to think about. 
Is pouring here now Jaka. I’m actually glad about it as maybe it will keep the expected mayhem to a minimum.

Portland 13°C.  Ljubljana 9°C 

I guess things are heated up here from this morning Jaka, 

Ljubljana: 9°C.   Portland 15°C 

Hmmm. 
Hope you have a good smoke free sreda day there! 

P.S. did I get this word used correctly?

Yup, it's correct 

Hey, I hope it's not only the weather. You should deserve some warm wind after years of coldness 

I agree!  

Of course the other way to look at it is there has been too much hot air for four years, haha!

So I am off to bed. Want to hear something scary? So I actually just had the thought of “I’ll go out and have my smoke and get ready for bed”. You know what I mean? Or maybe just like having a memory maybe? Not sure, but it always is unsettling for a minute. I’ve written so much on here today. All over the place, like my mind has just been busy busy busy. Of course some anxiety too. Like also the thought of, maybe I am afraid to wake to bad news. But I’m not staying up more either! 
Good night from Portland, 

Good night and sleep tight 

I had a dream. OK, we have dreams all the time, I mean the kind of dream I remember. Guess what was about? Yup, smoking ... I was in a mountain cottage with family, holidays or something. Than I thought of smoking. I made a plan and lying to my wife why I need to go. I went and bought a pack. Smoked one. Feels great. Than a thought popped up: what to do with rest of cigarettes? I called friends to meet in a bar. We were smoking and than I remembered I will have to tell you and people on this forum I smoked and not only one, that would be just a mistake, but whole pack. I felt guilty and ashamed and really happy to wake up. 

Yep those sneaky dreams...... I have had several of them. Hold onto that feeling of happiness when you woke! You may need that memory in the future! 

I had to put the laughter first Jaka. Only because this is another thing that I think most of us here have experienced! The smoking dreams! Yes, they are normal. Doesn’t it just show how powerful this addiction is that it even lures you in your sleep? They suck, those dreams. I’ve had a few and really hate it because I do not like dreams in my sleep to begin with! Seriously. I hate it when I remember any of my dreams. They give me the creeps. I don’t want to know what dark things my brain is working out! It is it’s job to do this and  I would kindly thank it to keep it hidden! The past few months, all the dreams I remember are about COVID or smoking. Seriously? This is how my subconscious tortures me?? Shame on myself! Haha! 
Well, still warmer here Jaka. Ljubljana 12°C, Portland 17°C.  So, in other words, we are still full of hot air! 

What is going on with the wind or the weather Jaka? 
Here is the report: Ljubljana 10°C.  Portland 18°C.  So it is even warmer here than during the day! Maybe it is your wish for warm wind after years of coldness after all? We still do not know!

I think the problem is that we're comparing at the same time in absolute manner. We should pick one hour, let's say 12 o'clock and check it relatively. 

Perhaps it's just what you said. It's warming up in US but we need to wait for it for some time
