Had a minor scare with my medication, and needed to get a blood test redone. Turns out I had fasted when I didn't need to, and that messed up some of the levels. wipes brow Phew!

Appt with my doctor two-ish weeks from now so I can get onto part 2 of hormones.

yikes! Glad it was a false alarm. Be well!

I'm actually in the best physical health I've been in years - funnily enough! Blood pressure is down (not that it was ever terrible), weight is down slowly and healthily, been exercising more and eating better.

Funny what you can do when you're not doing a master's degree on a shoestring budget.

sorry to hear about the non-admission to the graduate program (classical bass studies?). Do you have a plan B or 2. Ottawa is probably very hot. It's funny how when I'm away, I listen to the CBC radio on line instead of to PBS for news. You too?

My current plan B is already in progress - preparing for doctoral auditions. I've got to put together a program of an hour's worth of material. So far I've got a Brahms cello sonata and a Bottesini Character piece that I'm working on, and I'm looking for two or three more pieces.

edit: also, Ottawa IS getting hot, we're in the high 20s and low 30s regularly.

I missed CBC the entire time I was down in the states. NPR has good programming, but I don't think it can compete (personally).
