Second day of dance--and it went well. I came away feeling better than I started--still some interaction with the cold and rain but doing well. Two hours of dancing was about all I could do--I was plenty tired by the time we called a halt. It was an easy class in terms of the dances covered--but I don't need any challenges right now. Tomorrow will be a more challenging round of dances--but also a shorter class as it will be on Friday.

I'm tired now--no naps today. Just realized that there is a full day tomorrow--PD support meeting in the morning, lunch, and afternoon class--a full day. A, MD's caregiver, had her arm operated on--from the two accidents she had over the holidays. MD may need some help if A is not available this week (and the next)--that is if she can be convinced that she needs some assistance. She and A are quite close--and it may be difficult for MD to let anyone else do what is needed.

My medications seem to be wearing off quicker than in the past (the past 8 years)--I'm encountering periods during the day when I notice that symptoms are more noticeable. I'll be curious to see if resuming dancing helps lengthen my medication times--or it the shift in effectiveness is more of a permanent change in how things have been working.

I didn't eat enough today--just had a sandwich/latte at lunch and an apple/lox/tapioca for dinner. I need to have both a good breakfast and lunch--plus a smaller meal at dinner. A blender breakfast appears to be the way for me to go--I've been resisting doing so but need to make sure I have enough fuel to make it through the dance classes. I just noted that I could be using my FitBit to help bring what I'm eating into consciousness--like it has done with my sleep.
