Did the latte and V8 Fusion before class--and as before the caffeine lift seemed to smooth out the dancing and the overall focus. There's only one more class next week--the instructors are then off on a road trip.

It got really warm today--in the 90s. I had a disturbing bowel movement this morning--there was some blood when I wiped. Suspect a hemorrhoid--will be seeing the PCP next week and will get it checked. Will be curious to see if there is any repeat over the next few days--I've been having difficulty with bowel movements since I was diagnosed with PD 11 years ago and I've never passed any blood during this whole time.

Other than that--I'm chugging onward. Have to keep dancing--it positively affects my well being when I am moving and brings me down when I stop. Will see the neurologist next week--and get a calibration point with him and my current symptom-state.

Dance class tomorrow--Friday the 13th. Also the memorial service for BH's wife--who lost her battle with cancer despite her young age.

According to my FitBit, I got a lot of sleep this past week--lots of 8+ nights. I think that the earlier I retire--the better the first sleep period. It is less fragmented--and even bridges short bathroom breaks.
