Went to the PCP this morning and discovered that my cholesterol was down 26 points! Good news! I also lost around 10 pounds as well. I'm still borderline in terms of cholesterol levels but it's better than it was. He also told me to get a stool test--that in lieu of a colonoscopy.

I had a tasty rice bowl at the sushi bar down the road--sesame chicken done tempura style! I came home and nodded off for a couple of hours.

Went to the library and picked up a few short story collections.

I put out the trash cans for tomorrow's pickup. I consolidated two of the green waste cans--which was somewhat strenuous--that stuff gets heavy as it compacts down into the cans. Felt good to do some exercise though.

Tomorrow there's the intermediate dance class and a few errands. Weather looks like it's going to get warmer again (100+ levels). I wore my sunglasses more today and didn't get any of the brightness overloads that I've been experiencing. I got a note from the vision people that I'm due for an examination. So many tiny things to get done--nothing big or exciting--just the regular things.

The PCP gave me a PD screening test today. I think I did well. My symptoms are not as pronounced as they could be. The task that I found most difficult--spelling the word "world" backwards. My brain went into lockup. Also, the remember these three items--apple, tree, book--task was a challenge. I recalled "apple" and "tree" but was slow remembering "book".
