Hi Steve,

I'm glad to hear that you're still out there in the sun and got a few good days in. You have the right idea of getting outside and enjoying the nice weather while you can.

I'm going through some changes right now, I think. My tight med schedule doesn't seem to be working the way it did back a few months ago. I now wake up stiff when I didn't before, and now also get some nasty cramping in my hands just before my next round of medication. I've also been sleeping more and more during the weekends which sucks really because there's so much to do with so little time. It's not like I'm depressed and am escapiing. I'm just in need of so real sleep because I feel weak and dizzy so I lay down for a catnap which turns into 4 - 5 hours of an afternoon. When I wake up, I'm okay for a few hours, and then need to sleep again. Today, Monday, and I'm dragging along but have to deal with it because I'm at work.

Other than that, I'm still playing the piano the best I can. This is the best form of exercise for the hands as it keeps the fingers mobile, otherwise I'd have nothing but tight fists. I'm also sticking to my school schedule. I have about 10 classes left and I'm counting them down like the seconds before a rocket blast off.

John
