Laundry day! Oh, what the hey! Went to movement class this afternoon. That went well, as usual. Feeling pretty good after the class. It's nice! Have a PD exercise class tomorrow. Move and groove!

Dreamed last night that I was writing a document for someone. I had just about finished a first draft and was showing it to my supervisor. Somehow, the head of the organization got involved in the conversation and he ripped into the document. He had a problem with the style. He indicated that the material was too cluttered, that it had too many adjectives. I looked through the material and saw that he was correct in that there were a lot of adjectives, but I wasn't convinced that there were too many. I tried editing a few sentences. I dropped the adjectives in order to see how things read with the deletions. The dream never came to a resolution or I didn't resolve the issue in the dream. I awoke feeling a bit anxious from the tension in the dream. I wasn't convinced that the criticisms in the dream were correct. I'm not certain about the contents of the document--whether it was a report, a user document, a story, or something else.

I received the results of the "spit test" that I sent in to be analyzed. I now have access to my own genome. I've only barely started using the analytical tools that come with the web site. It's a whole new adventure! There's a lot to learn in order to use the raw data that's provided. I apparently do not have the mutation in the LRRK2 gene that is a marker for PD--but I apparently have PD. This result seems to point to environmental factors for the illness--not genetic factors. But, I've a lot more to read before I can understand everything that's been revealed. Drive a Chevrolet through my DNA! I wonder if I have any markers for winning the MegaMillion lottery tonight? We will see!
