I've had a pretty good morning. I did pilates; this video had a killer arm workout at the end, but if you're feeling it, you're getting stronger, that's my hope anyway. My period finally ended on day 13, so I sure am happy about that. I had breakfast, read with the SAD lamp. I fought a bit with concentration, but honestly, I think it was the book I am reading. I don't know how it got 4.5 stars on Amazon. I completely agree with the 1 and 2 star ratings for this book! Even a lot of reviewers said they couldn't follow it and it bored them to tears, so perhaps I am not alone here.

I had a pdoc appt. this morning, no surprises there, everything still the same, basically just med refills though the pdoc did apparently look over weight trends, and I've lost 10 lb. in the last year. Well, I was switched back to lamotrigine around 9 months ago, and I had a lot more energy and started exercising a lot more again, so it didn't really surprise me. I'm not entirely sure pdoc was happy about that, but my weight is still within the normal BMI range though on the low end of it now.

Came home and drew...the first drawing was a bit hard as it used perspective and also was furniture which is not exactly a huge favorite of mine to draw, but I shouldered though; the end result wasn't horrible. Anyway, I read some good advice in one of the art books I own which was to draw that which makes you uncomfortable. I also drew a male torso which was a bit TMI so it is not posted in the creative corner because I don't need a warning from admin. The other 2 drawings I did today are there.

Planning to read some, maybe nap, allergies are hitting me again, but spring flowers are out in bloom which is probably why.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
