My colon has been scoped! After a couple of days of preparation turmoil, the deed is done! The procedure, a colonoscopy, almost seems to have never happened. There was the food moderation done on Tuesday, the liquid diet day and purgation on Wednesday (and all of the early Thursday morning hours), and the denouement--this morning's procedure and recovery period.

By far the worst of it all was the 16 hours of purgation that had to be done before the procedure could be performed. The best? The procedure itself! I was put to sleep and when I awoke it had been done and I had no memory of what took place. One minute, I was awake, and the next I was asleep (or even deeper than that). The next minute, I was awakening. I have no knowledge or sensation of what had been done--the removal of 5 polyps (hopefully benign) and the identification of one large remaining polyp. Unfortunately, this large one could not be excised with today's procedure--it has to be done by a surgeon. I don't yet know if the process is invasive or whether it can be done with minimal invasion. It would be wonderful if the process can be done without also doing a purgation. I will know more after talking with the surgeon and others.

The outside temperature right now is 88 degrees! Hot, hot, hot! But it doesn't feel that warm--but it's getting even warmer over the next few days.

I missed dance class today--thought it prudent to not push my luck by going to class while still under any effects from the anesthesia! Should be able to make it to class tomorrow--and then onward to more medical moves I go.

Just ran across a site, how-old.net--it takes an image of a person and returns a guess as to how old they are. My photo produced guesses of around 65! I'll take it!

My daughter and the grandkid took me to the surgery center this morning (early)--and retrieved me around noon. I was in the center for three hours. The people there were excellent--very attentive and caring.

2681

Long and liquid day! Have only had liquid sustenance today--along with the first of two purgatives. The first one seems to be working. Meanwhile, just keep ingesting liquids (water, juice, tea, Gatorade) and using the bathroom a lot.

Had to move my medication times around some to fit the purging schedule. Now, it's really early--too early to go to bed. But I need to take the second purge in an hour or so--and then who knows what happens. I would like to skip it--but the instructions are very detailed and there is no single dose option.

It was sort of nice to not go anywhere today--just hang out, nap some, take my purges, and drink a lot of liquids. I shaved and will soon take a bath--by this time tomorrow I will have ingested a restorative lunch and a light dinner of some description.

I went over the dances for Friday's class--I should be in good enough shape to make that one. Not cure about tomorrow's class--probably shouldn't try to make it unless I am well restored.

Have missed my daily trip to SB's--but I did use a green tea as one of my liquids. It's actually quite tasty--green tea, ginseng, and honey.

Well the bathroom calls--time to sign off. More in the morrow!

2682

The purge begins! Tomorrow there is only liquids and emissions--I had a last supper tonight of steamed veggies and rice. Had a bowl of oatmeal and quinoa this morning and a Frap on the way to dance class.

Dance class was ho-hum--the instructor on the Tuesday class is very erratic after she does the first hour. The following 1.5 hours is a long time without a lot of dancing.

It's going to be warmer over the next few days--and nights as well! Muggy springtime--heading for summertime!

I dreamed about something last night/this morning but nothing that I recall.

Heading to the bed a bit earlier than usual tonight! Goodly night! Let there be light! A dazzling site! A pack of sprites! Frights and blights!

2683

Today there was a 40 degree difference between early morning and now--48 to 88 degrees! Last night, I didn't have such a rich panoply of dreams like the night before. I had dreams but I also slept somewhat more deeply than usual--I think!

I sent an update of what I've been doing to the Rosen Movement group--T, the instructor, had sent out a notice that after 15 years she was having to close down the class. The place where she held the class was on a lease with a group of health practitioners--and they were losing the lease. So, it was time to move on!

It felt good to communicate with them and provide an update on my condition. I included a selfie--which took me some time to photograph, edit and send.

I started working on my food regime today--what I have to do to get ready for Thursday's procedure. Tried a Panera noodle dish that I had not tasted before--a lentil and quinoa savory soup with a boiled egg and vegetables. It was delicious!

I had rice and steamed veggies for dinner--plus I had a Frap around midday.

My laundry is about dry--so time to close this down and do some folding. No gym today--I didn't feel like pushing to much today. Have dance class tomorrow--and more simple victuals!

2685-2684

Spent today (Sunday) putting things in order for the colonoscopy this coming week. Seems that I have to start on Tuesday (watching what I eat), fasting and eliminating on Wednesday, and continue to fast up until the procedure is done on Thursday.

I hit the gym both yesterday and today--and will do the same in the morrow. Then dance on Tuesday. eliminate on Wednesday, and procedure on Thursday. Piece of cake--not really--can't do cake along with a lot of other things.

I had a wild set of dreams--mostly last night. The dreams, I believe, were triggered by a question that my ex sent to me. She wanted to know the date when she had workshop with a well-known relationship person--Virginia Satir. I sent my ex some bracketing dates that would help her zero in on the date she was looking for. I think that my trying to resurrect those times and events sent my subconscious to work. I dreamed about finding a lot of items in a storage unit that were related to those times and events. I had boxes of film negative sheets that had images and other materials imprinted on the sheets.

When I held the sheets up to the lights, I could see what was on the sheets. There were images of old work spaces from those times, screen captures, art work images and the entire history of those times recorded on the films. In the dream, I was going through the film collection with the grandkid--I was showing her what I had once done and created.

That dream segued into me recalling all of the poems/song lyrics that I've written--not a lot of stuff but 5 pieces. As I half-slept, I remembered word-for-word all of these pieces. When I awoke, I checked my StarThrower site to see what I had recorded there. I found the poems Vigil and Dream Ships. I also found the song lyrics 100 Miles or More to Tuscaloosa and Biggersville Cemetery. A third set of lyrics, Hey Joe, were not recorded in the site, but I recalled them as I awoke.

Oh, yes! In trying to recollect any memories that involved Virginia Satir, I had the strongest sensation of walking somewhere with her and being hugged by her. The hug and the memory of being hugged were very tactile.

As I said--it was a wild night of dreams! I'll put the Hey Joe lyrics in the StarThrower site where the other poems/lyrics are posted. Dream on!

2686

Good dance class today! We did about 10 dances--some of which were challenging! Gentle, High Cotton, They Call Me the Breeze, and others.

I didn't eat much today--had a breakfast sandwich and a Frap, plus some apple and cheese! Low intake but it doesn't seem to be a problem. I ate enough this week and my stomach deserves a respite. Will treat myself in the morrow!

I'm tired though tonight! No napping in the afternoon! I fiddled around with MD's calculator (replaced battery, took it apart--actually it fell apart and I had to treat it like a puzzle to put it back together--and got it to work)--yeah! But it's not worth using--it's a really cheap device! The battery cost me over $4 and I'm not sure the gadget itself is worth that much.

Tomorrow, I'll begin to prep for Thursdays procedure--a colonoscopy! Not really looking forward to the adventure but I need to be examined. I've been showing symptoms of BPH and ED. So, it's time to know what has to go! The flow is slow! Will research more on this condition over the weekend.

I'm a bit concerned that the procedure or followup requirements may derail my dance regime--hope not! But, it will be what it is! As always!

I'm probably going to bed early tonight--again! Still pulling the curtains and that is making some difference. Will probably hit the gym tomorrow and over the weekend--the exercise is good!

Didn't seem to have any issues with missing a medication dosage yesterday--nothing stood out from it. Back at today!

2688-2687

Missed posting yesterday (or last night). Daughter and her fiancé made a great, but huge, dinner last night. Two nights in a row of eating full meals sent me horizontal earlier than usual. Hence, posting was delayed until today.

I intentionally ate a small lunch today and have eaten lightly this evening.

Today's dance class went well--I was surprised that I could dance given how much I'd eaten over the previous two days. It helped that I ate lightly before class. We did several "oldies"--all of which I had seen or danced before.

Dance class tomorrow--fun on Friday! I know most of the dances we will be doing--so I can pull back, dance, and enjoy!

For some reason, I spaced today and didn't take my medication at midday--?? It didn't seem to make a big difference in how I felt, danced, or such. I got a little foggy after eating a light dinner--I just skipped the midday doses and took my bedtime pills after letting my dinner assimilate a while.

I need to get some bodywork done--especially on my lower legs and feet. Need a pedicure as well! The feet need the treat since they keeping stomping on the street! I went to the gym yesterday and did a circuit--it felt good, but only helped me go horizontal earlier than usual.

Warm days and warm nights--keep the vision in your sights! All lights!!

Bamiyan's rules! Had an Afghan feast tonight--ate with my daughter and her fiancé! We ordered the family-style meal where they just kept bringing dishes to the table. Appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, a couple of rice dishes, breads, tea and dessert.

Bamiyan's is a hidden away place not too far from where we live. It was not crowded or busy--probably because it's a Tuesday evening. We had a 6:30 reservation but there was plenty of empty tables. Our meal went to about 8pm.

Did a dance class today over and above this evening's feast! Class went well--felt good.

Now I'm full and floating--going to watch a little TV and roll into bed. No classes tomorrow--a day of rest perhaps.

Afghan spices dancing in my dreams!

Went to the Folsom PD support group today--lots of information exchange. Lots of repeated data but if it helps someone that's good.

I went straight to the session with just a green tea latte and some of the moderator's cookies. By the time the session was done, I was somewhat buzzy from not eating. I went to the BBQ place on the way home. Also went out in afternoon and picked up a power boost smoothie with ginseng--hit the spot and seemed to boost me through until dinner.

Called and reserved a spot for dinner at the Afghan place--Bamiyan. Look forward to trying them out and share the meal with daughter and her fiancé.

Also have a dance class in afternoon--3 days without dancing seems like it's too long. Might look for a movement/dance activity on Sundays.

2691

Sun Day! And it was--temperature made it to the low 80s! It's muggy!

I ordered a fruit smoothie with my lunch (no breakfast) that contained a dose of ginseng. I ate late and didn't nap since I ran some errands and got a haircut.

The barber/owner is the only person there on Sunday--and she has people waiting in line for her entire shift (6-8 hours). I chose a major cut--#2 all over in her parlance. Basically, a cut that is about two steps from getting a pate shave. I got to use my retort regarding her question about me being over 65--I get to respond that I'm closer to 80 than I am to 65!

We (my ex, the grandkid and me, along with MD) made a trek to the park--a deja vu visit like we made yesterday.

I went to SBs late in the afternoon and enjoyed a green tea latte. Working on my SB's gold card--takes 30 visits. I think I've made over 20 visits since I registered last week. I know I've made over 3,000 visits during the past 9 years. That's a lot of green tea!

There's a PD support group meeting in the morning--feels like a long time since I've attended a session. I think I went last month--but I may not have done so. The fog gets foggier!

I think I dreamed something about a wedding last night--no doubt a carryover from yesterday's celebrations at the park. I slept with the curtain closed--definitely affects my sleep. It's now part of my sleep (close) and wakeup (open) rituals.

2692

Saturn's Day! It was probably the warmest day of the year, so far. It was in the low 80s and tomorrow promises to be even warmer.

I couldn't talk myself into going to the gym today--I just wanted to rest and sleep. Maybe in the morrow--but only if I think it will help and not do harm.

The ex dropped by in the afternoon and we spent some time with the grandkid--who, along with her mom and mom's fiancé, have all been ill with one thing or another. I don't plan on joining them--I'll do a healthy JJ tomorrow and the next day, if needed.

I ate quite a lot today--breakfast, lunch and dinner. I felt like I wanted to overload on food for some reason--so I did!

Closed curtains and darker room definitely helped me sleep better last night. Don't recall any dreams--they will return when needed.

Gave MD my stash of slippery elm and Ricola lozenges--she is still trying to kick the cough/sinus drainage issue that started bothering her weeks ago. She needs to clear things up!

2693

Had a good dance class today--lots of challenge but also lots of reward. We did a dance today that has great music--We Forgot to Dream.

I slept in this morning--partly, I think, because I closed the drapes last night. The room is quite dark then--I probably should have started doing this long ago. It makes the room darker than I've had it in years.

I didn't forget to dream last night--I did dream but right now whatever they were has slipped back into the shadows.

I've started watching the series of Hitchcock mystery pieces--there are dozens of them on Netflix. Each episode is shorter than current TV episodes--around 24 minutes each. So the stories have to be quick and sweet.

The weekend arrives! No dancing this weekend--will have to hit the gym.

Time is moving! Lots of grooving! No tattooing! All improving!

2694

Dance went well today--I had previewed the dances that I thought we would be doing. I was right on key!

The woman who teaches the classes asked me if I was willing to get in touch with a friend of hers that has been diagnosed with PD. I said that I was willing and sent her a summary of what I've been doing to pass along to her friend.

The summary is essentially the one I sent to M's friend. I never heard back from him but it prompted me to do the writeup. I used that version to create the one I sent off today. The summary is very positive and upbeat--compared to how I sometimes feel.

I read the statement in an email about how the disease takes away--and how I have to keep adding to what's here to overcome the diminishing.

Dance again tomorrow--more to be added! Always more!

2695

Had several dreams last night. In one dream, I was calling out my daughter's name--I believe I actually did shout out her name for real. I woke myself thinking that I was shouting her name. The dreams were mashed together--some of it having to do with finding and driving a car. Other parts dealing with finding a person.

I slept a lot today--but also made it to the gym. Called the doctor's office and moved next week's appointment to the middle of May.

Dance classes tomorrow and Friday--several new (to me) dances. Feeling good after this past weekend's workshop/dance.

It's nearly dinner time--another day has come and gone! Dancing in the dream!

Tuesday, April 14, 2015

2696

Went to dance class this afternoon. I felt pretty good--I was still feeling like I wanted to just sleep though. But, I made it to class and felt good about the class. I came home and napped some before going into my dinner/evening/good night routine.

No class tomorrow but I have several things I need to get done--move Dr. Li's appointment out into May, secure a ride to the surgical center on the 30th, and some errands that I need to handle.

Need to review the dances we will be doing in Friday's class. Thank goodness for YouTube--I don't think I could keep up with the dances without the demonstrations that are online.

It's early still tonight but I'm getting groggy. I seem to find that my eyelids feel heavy and tend to shut a lot--a depressive symptom perhaps. I feel more alert and present if I hold my eyes open--not let them droop closed.

I awoke this morning around 7am--took my medications and fell back asleep for a couple of hours. Awoke about 9am and fell back asleep for nearly another two hours. Of course, I didn't fall asleep until about 2am last night/this morning. I watched the ending episodes of Bloodline--a very good series--don't know if there is more planned.

Time to fade! End the charade! Have it made! I'm old and greyed! Not a young blade! Serenade! Lemonade! A green grass glade! Tapenade!

2698-2697

Went to the workshop/dance yesterday. It was about a four-hour activity that left me feeling exhilarated and tired as well.  The guest instructor, John Robinson, was a great entertainer as well as teacher. He demonstrated an amazing set of variations that could be done within a single dance. He went through a set of four dance instructions--none of which I can remember now--but I'm sure we'll go over some of them in classes.

There were about 100 people at the event--90 women and 10 men. Median age was about 65 or higher.

I slept a lot over the past two days/nights. Can't get enough of that slumbering stuff! My internal clock is totally confused--and I just want to close my eyes and rest.

I had several dreams over the past two days/nights--nothing that I recall now.

**************
Had lunch at BBQ place--brisket wrap with fries! I sat outside--felt good to feel the breeze! Wrap was tasty--and filling!

Came back and napped--then went to SBs for a latte and a treat--brownie! Yum! Back and napped a bit longer--caffeine from latte kicked in and now I'm up and about!

Time seems to be moving slowly--hours are drifting by, meandering.

Dance class tomorrow--feels like a long time before it will happen. Slowly goes the clock hands--slowly grows the rose!

Saturday, April 11, 2015

2700-2699

Last night, I got caught up in an OS update process that took hours! The system gave no warning about how long the update process would take--until the process was started and system messages started appearing. These messages last night went as high as warnings that the update process was going to take hours (even days). It actually took, in the final go round, over three hours. The download file was supposedly around 2GB--a real hog file which my system choked on until it was finally acquired and installed.

The good news is (in addition to the download made it) that the new system seems to be working--there is no (so far) strangeness.

Dance class yesterday was tiring but encouraging--I was doing some of the newer, more difficult, dances. I rested today. Last night, I had several dreams. In one dream, I was living with TD (last ex) and she began to behave oddly. I finally realized that she was going to tell me that she was leaving. The dream brought back the feelings and emotions of the time when she actually did make such an announcement. I blurted out (in the dream), "Oh, no! You are doing this again!"

I went through this same dream again later last night (or earlier this morning) with some other person (not TD). It was like an exact repeat--but with another person.

Another dream sequence involved me driving down a divided highway. There was a vehicle coming up behind me that was starting to pass me on my left. The vehicle was an all white, large van-like panel truck. It had no side or rear windows and no driver was visible. The windshield was dark and opaque. The vehicle started around me--but then veered over onto the median, crossed the on-coming lanes, and plowed into the retaining wall on that side of the highway. I tried to stop, but there was no  place to pull off. I had to go further down the road before I found a place where I could turn around and go back. I felt it was important for me to go back to the scene and give a statement of what I had seen. As I neared the crash site, vehicles had started to clog the roadway. The crashed vehicle seemed to be burning.

Tomorrow there's a workshop/dance in the afternoon. There will be about 100 people--time to dance!

Thursday, April 09, 2015

2701

Did well in dance class today--my collection of known dances continues to grow. I have some difficulty dealing with any brand new dance--but I manage to pick it up eventually. Have another class tomorrow and then the workshop/dance on Sunday. A lot of people will hit the Saturday workshop as well--but I'll have to pace myself.

Dreamed last night that I was walking through some empty offices. The offices were once filled with furniture, computers and people. Now, the space was empty and there was no one but me and a member of the janitorial crew. He was clearing out a pile of papers that had been left in one of the wall cabinets. I greeted him and we talked for a while about having worked in the place--and having everything disappear. He was philosophical about the situation. He was contracted to make sure the place was emptied completely--and the empty place cleaned and made ready for whoever leased the facility. He implied that he would be continuing on as a janitor for the new tenants.

I had been one of the VPs in the company--but my office area had been cleared. There was no trace of me ever having been around. We said goodbye and said something about meeting again--both of knowing that such an event was never going to happen.

What goes around goes around! The wheel is always spinning! The lights pulsate and glimmer! The silence fills the empty spaces! The empty spaces fill the dream!

2702

Slept in this morning and it felt really good to do so. Had a hearty lunch at the BBQ place and my regular latte et al.

Dreamed last night that I was driving a very fancy automobile--I had been loaned its use for the evening. It belonged to someone who was well known--a public figure in the world of entertainment.

I drove it to an area of town where there were a host of fancy cafes and bistros. I couldn't find a parking space that I felt comfortable with--I was concerned that the car would be vandalized if I parked it anyplace that was not very visible. I pulled into a parking lot where I would be charged by the hour. However, when I was in the small area I didn't like the idea of leaving the vehicle with the guys who were running the lot. There was something not right about them and the place. I backed out (after some difficulty) and parked in a brightly lighted spot on one of the main streets. However, my strategy didn't work. When I came out of the bistro, the car had been vandalized. The top (convertible) had been removed along with the leather seats and all of the electronic equipment. I was really upset. I phoned the police and they came by and took a statement--but they offered little hope of recovering any of the stolen parts or identifying anyone who had taken them.

Dance class tomorrow--more advanced class but I think I'm up for it.

Read an article about a woman, 117, who had just died. Also read about a girl, 17, who had just died who had been born with an aging disease--she looked like she was over 100. Odd symmetry in this old world!

Tuesday, April 07, 2015

2703

Big thunder today! Flashing lightning close at hand! I counted one beat between the flash and the thunder--one beat! Less than 1/5th of a mile! The lights in the building flashed off and back on!

Did well at dancing today--despite the instructor's babble!

Colder last night and today--a last pulse of winter weather before it moves into the Spring.

No dancing tomorrow--then two classes and the workshop/dance over the weekend.

Right now, I'm feeling tired--dancing was strenuous today. We went over a few long dances that were fairly aerobic! I came home and napped for a short while before doing dinner.

So I'm signing off--let the dream times roll!

Monday, April 06, 2015

2704

Rested a lot today--felt good to just lay down and sleep if I needed to do so. Awoke early--shaved and showered and then headed out for breakfast. Ran some errands--decided to not eat a lot today Breakfast was normal (scramble, potatoes, muffin) but not a lot after that.

Dance class tomorrow--ready to move more after resting for most of today. Going to be a lot of dancing this week--and I'm not doing as much as most will be. I'll skip the Saturday workshop but do the one on Sunday.

When I signed on to make this post, I noticed that there was nearly 300 page views yesterday--why? Somebody phishing? That's the largest one day total ever! Normally, I only get 5-10 at the most!

Maybe I'll learn to use the stat feature and Develop tools to understand what's happening.

Enough flailing for tonight! Time to close this down and watch some of the next episode of Bloodlines!

Sunday, April 05, 2015

2705

He has risen! But I have not! In fact, I may be the exact opposite--I am sinking! Long day--right after yesterday's long day. No dance classes to break the non-rhythm--and I think the gym was closed today! Tomorrow is another day--hopefully not long and strung out as this weekend. The gym will be open--but I need more intervention that just the gym. Get creative! Get going! Get the lead out!

I did the laundry this afternoon. I've lost track of my every-two-week's schedule for this activity. Today seemed like a good time so I just did it while the doing it was good.

Started a new Netflix set of episodes--Bloodline. Just one season--and the pilot is very confusing! Not sure who's wearing the white hats and black hats--but maybe that's the point of the story. I guess I'll find out--unless it becomes so confusing that I punt and look elsewhere for more transparent plots.

I did watch the second half of the Dovekeepers. It moved along a bit more smoothly and quickly than Part I--but it was still dialog-heavy and not all that exciting or intriguing.

Got a call from LD, DD's ex, and she went on about something we had discussed when she was here for a visit. I'm totally puzzled--I don't recall anything we may have discussed that she was going to follow up and do some research! Mystery! Madness! My brain is in the drain!


Saturday, April 04, 2015

2706

Blood Moon is Rising! Or it was and I didn't see it. I was awake around 3am but fell back to sleep before the event happened. I was full of our early Easter dinner and tired from yesterday's dance class. But the moon, earth and sun did their things and there was no apocalypse as was predicted by a few.

I rested today--although I did awaken early. I thought for sure it was late morning and it was barely 9am. I spent a lot of the day napping and resting quietly.

Nose and throat were much better today. MD is still struggling with her version of whatever it is. She's taking a homeopathic over-the-counter cold remedy--plus a lot of sugar-based foods. Not sure how that's working out. She slept poorly last night and was a bit logy today.

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday--hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way! I've been plagued on and off with the Bunny Hop tune and dance--if you can call it that. It's like a furry samba--hop, hop, hop.

I awoke this morning with a cramp in my left leg calf muscle--it was the most intense one that I've experienced in all the years of PD symptoms. I sometimes have to move carefully when I first awake and move my legs/feet. Sometimes I get cramp in my left foot--this morning's cramp was much more intense. As I get ready for bed, the calf muscle is still tight from this morning's episode.

Gym tomorrow? Perhaps--have to see if they are even open. Will be gentle on my calf!

Friday, April 03, 2015

2707

Dance went well today--had a huge dinner with family! Daughter made another of her good feeds--she's turned out to be quite the cook.

I am totally blasted from my day's activities without an interstitial nap. But dancing was good and felt good--I even nearly got the dance that I was somewhat dreading.

Already getting late--going to put a wrap on trying to make a post. It's Good Friday and there will be a total lunar eclipse in the early morning--which is also the beginning of Passover and the day before Easter. Supposedly an auspicious transit--the 3rd of four such events over the past year or so!

I may be up--but I wouldn't bet on it!

Thursday, April 02, 2015

2708

Didn't make it to PD support meeting this morning--I didn't feel well enough to rush around in time for the session. I had a more leisurely breakfast, did some errands, ate lunch, and motored over to the dance class. I grabbed a Frap on the way and all went well--I danced fairly well and smoothly. I had a little trouble with a couple of newer dances--but I did alright.

I certainly felt better after the class and into the evening. Looking forward to tomorrow's class. We (family) are doing Easter dinner tomorrow evening--Good Friday dinner!

Despite what I posted yesterday, I ended up staying way too late last night--dinking around with the computer.

Watched the first half of a CBS miniseries tonight--it's a bit slow, has some good actors, but is boring and wordy! Not enough action to keep things going--and dialog is deadly. Just surfed off and verified that my impressions are on target--reviews are not good. I may not screen the second half--although the reviews indicate that the pace was better in that half even though the audience was down.

Enough for now--getting sleepy! Throat is better--not 100% but better!

Wednesday, April 01, 2015

2709

April Fool's Day! Have not been pranked by or pranked any one!

Also, my throat is better if not back to health. Ricola original herbal lozenges and slippery elm tablets did the trick--along with eating a healing udon dish (Panera's Udon Bowl with Edamame) for lunch and a comfort food meal for dinner (pork chop, beet greens, rice, gravy, garlic bread).

I also slept a lot--feels so good to just let go and sleep. I was up a lot last night--having to empty my bladder. I continued the frequent trips to the toilet today, but I slept well when I was not moving about.

PD support meeting tomorrow and dance class in the afternoon. I reviewed some of Friday's dances this afternoon--will do more tonight/tomorrow.

I believe I dreamed last night something about dancing and taking medicines. I'm

not clear now just what the dreams were about exactly--perhaps they had to do with the interactions between dancing/exercising and medicine dosage levels. Or perhaps they did not!

Rumble, tumble, boil and bumble! Buildings crash and sometimes crumble!
