2925

I went to dance class feeling kind of loopy. The dancing helped stabilize everything even though I was having difficulty keeping my feet in motion.

Last night I had episode with an alarm clock. The clock in the kitchen, which is mostly used for reference, got the alarm button turned on by accident. Around 1am, I started hearing faint warbles from something electronic--it was a faint, muted beeping sound. I got up and checked the thermostat since it sounded like the beeps were coming from that area of the house. I didn't see anything on the thermostat displays that indicated any problem. But, as I fiddled with the device, it went silent. I went back to bed.

A short time later, I started hearing the beeps again. This time, they started off beeping softly and then built up in frequency and volume. I got up again and started trying to locate the problem. I checked the fire alarm, the burglar alarm, and ultimately the clock--it was apparently going in and out of snooze mode, but getting louder and more intense when it was being ignored. If the thing were beside  my bed, I would end up smashing it into the wall.

So, with a bit of early (really early) morning somnambulism, the mystery was solved and the clock was silenced. I reset the alarm to go off at 8:00 o'clock just in case it was accidentally activated again. I figured that being beeped at around bed time or in the morning about wake up time can be handled. Having it happen at 1am is not optimal!

I'm still resonating with all of the physical issues that have emerged (in addition to PD)--dental health, CRP levels (a blood test that hygienist suggested that I have done), colonoscopy (and what might present when that is done), tiredness, and a few other comparatively minor things.

Have to dance the dance--until the music stops--and then keep on anyway!
