Disney Upbeat Music with Buzz! I continue to work on perfecting my workout set-up of about 45 seconds of exercise (which for me is usually about 20 reps) with 15 seconds of stretching. I managed to throw in 4 or 5 new terms from the Lexicon. My selfie picture taking needs a lot of work but I’ll keep trying. Aloe plants for all who want one.
