Went to the Gentle Dental this morning. Did my every three-month hygiene session. Tremor was fairly quiet despite the noise and buzz of the hygiene equipment. Actually, it's been a bit cool today, which sets things off more than other triggers.

Had to get up early since dental appointment was at 9AM. Did my exercises in the early morn. It was quieter then versus my normal times. May start arising earlier as a regular event. I think I'm getting enough rest in my afternoon nap and don't need to "sleep" in like I'm doing. Plus when I awake I usually start shaking and I really don't go back to sleep. May be better to just get up. We will see.

I did my afternoon exercises today. Have missed doing them for a few days because of tenderness with my ribs from an aggressive chiropractic adjustment last Tuesday. Felt "tweaky" today, but also felt good to do them. My shaky muscles like the weight lifting. Feels goodly!

Rained a bit today as predicted. Not enough to do much good, but some droplets. A neighbor, S, stopped by today with a person he knew that was looking for an apartment. His friend, R, has a host of medical issues that he's dealing with and was looking to get closer to Stanford since he's a patient there in several programs. He's now living in WA and has been commuting back and forth as needed.

Made me reflect on my limited issues and what I might be doing versus R's many issues and what he's doing to get treatment and medical help. Prompted me to write down my to-do list of things I need to be doing, could be doing, may be doing. It's not a huge list. I plan to make some inroads. There's nothing on the list that I cannot get done--just requires me to focus--which is a long overdue activity on my part.

Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho! It's off to-do I go! The days may seem less slow! I'll find out as I mow! Ho, ho!
