Honestly not sure what was up with today. I'm really not sure why there is such a big gap in time. I had a doctor's appointment, but that didn't take up the entire day. Really not sure. As you'll see, I did some of my dancing after midnight. As before, if I dance before I sleep, it counts on that day, regardless of the time. I see that I did two songs in a row, that's because I like them both so much and they are back to back on my playlist.

Below are the songs I danced to 6/3/15:

I had Fun in Writing and more shopping. It was insanely hot in the building that day and by the time I got home, I wanted to collapse. Let me also add that the writing group starts at 12:30 and goes until 2:00. I don't have time to eat lunch before I go, so if I run errands after, I'm starving. It would probably help if I ate a better breakfast, but most mornings I can barely face food. In any case, felt really wretched when I got home.

On a side note: I switched doctors recently due to insurance changes. I had blood work done and it came back absolutely perfect. In fact, the doctor said she'd never seen anyone with such good levels of everything! So, although I may not feel that great, due to allergies, etc, at least my blood work is the best she's seen in years.

I have been lax in posting, but I have been trying to do something each day. You'll see that some days I am far more successful than others. I've been really bad lately, allowing myself get roped into Netflix marathons. I do try to get up and do something, or stretch, but I'm pretty bad about it for the most part.

You'll notice, as usual, certain songs I tend to favor for a few days. I have been hooked on Flower by Cody Simpson. You will see it fairly often. It's a sweet song, very pretty, with a good beat, but the lyrics are (to me, anyway) intensely sad. 

I am also listening to a lot of songs by the Revivalists, like Criminal and Concrete which will feature a great deal in the next week or two. If you haven't heard this band, they are absolutely amazing.
