Didn't make it to the gym today (or yesterday)--just felt like sleeping and taking it easy. Have a PD support group meeting in the morning--that will get me up and out. I seem to be just marking the calendar on these days without a dance class--the gym is the obvious solution.

The ex dropped by today to take MD to lunch--while we were talking she mentioned a client who has been considering ending it. What it brought to mind (aside from my own thoughts regarding what happens if my symptoms get out of hand) was the man in the videos who was born with no limbs--and how he's chosen to respond to his situation. He's chosen to live and inspire--not give up!

As I ate lunch today--there were several people entering/exiting the place who were dealing with some medical conditions. For each pair that were having to accommodate in some way--with one person acting as a caregiver/assistant and the other having to work with the impairment. One couple, a man with movement problems and his mate who was helping him, elected that she lead the way--with him following her with his hands on her shoulders. That arrangement was a better solution than him using a walker--it was not conventional but it worked.

Saw some videos of the grandkid at a swim meet--she was a rocket in the water. In the two events where she competed, she finished half a pool length ahead of the nearest competitor--she was zooming! She's got what it takes to be a swim star--go grandkid!
