Results are in. Glucose (fasting) was 76. Cholestorol was 177. Triglycerides 44. HDL 53. LDL 115. Chol/HDL ratio 3.3. All OK.
My numbers are good, but my health is better. I'm alive.
I'm still alive.
The other day we were listening to "Perfect Space" while we cleaned the kitchen and I said "I hope I'm old before I die", and Bjorn said "I hope that I get old before I die", then stopped and said, "I hope that you get old before I die." It's a love song.

Live Music
Roscivs and I played violin together when we met. I didn't hear or see him play piano until later.
He was at Aunt Wanda's when I saw him play piano for the first time. He played Bach's Gigue from Partita no. 1. This is a piece where the hands cross over each other a lot. His hands were so attractive.
He didn't play it too fast. His tempo was heartbeat perfect.
He bought a keyboard for us as a surprise gift for the one year anniversary of us getting engaged, and straight away I asked him to play the Gigue for me (although I didn't know it by that name; I called it "the hand cross-over piece" and after he died I had to use this phrase to find a recording of the piece). I took motion-blurred pictures of his hands. I still have them ... in my mind.
I can see him when I hear it.

Musicings
Friday night I walked alone downtown to the Black Box theatre and took in some jazz — all originals. I enjoyed myself.
I thought about where I want my business to be in a year. My goals: 12.0 teaching hours* a week; T/W/Th; starting at noon. My current position is 8.0 teaching hours a week; M/Th; sometimes starting earlier than noon.
I want to retain at least 3 of my students from now to then. This is not a goal because I don't have a good idea of how to effect it.
Since Friday, in furtherance of my goals, I have
* 1.0 teaching hour is ≥1.5 working hours.

Since Friday, in furtherance of my goals, I have
- started moving my Monday students to Wednesday
- posted expanded (Wednesday) hours with the company for whom I am an independent contractor
- decided I will open up Tuesdays in June (health permitting)
The end.
