long weekend thoughts
Apr. 14th, 2015 01:13 pmFriday - Got to work silly early. Left early. Got the last little bit of my peacock tattoo colored in. It's SO FREAKING PRETTY. Technicolor magic, yo. Got Emi to Girl Scouts on time, even.
Saturday - Woke up and took a careful count of my spoons and people points. Decided that I could make it to a big garage sale, since there would be no talking with people and (hopefully) no judging. Decided that I couldn't handle the BUW workshop, as it would involve parking, campus, lots of people (most of whom are very nice, yes), and a floor that's designed to make me hurt.
Did some sewing. Did some laundry. Played with kidz. Got all dressed up.
The BUW show was surprisingly good this year. No glaring costume WTFs. No real con-fusion WTFs. Minor quibbles and a couple of performances in styles I personally dislike, but overall it was very nice.
Afterwards, we trouped over to the bar nearby to rehash the whole thing. RH took minutes. We had drink. It was lovely....but I got home about 12:15. Oops.
Sunday - Tried desperately to sleep in, but no dice. Was Grumpy Momma for most of the day. Washed all the laundry. Read my books. Tried to not freak out about things. Did...something downstairs in my sewing area, but for the life of me, can't remember. I think it was piling up all the things that need to be hemmed with black. It's...tragic. Obviously, I dislike hemming.
Monday - Had the day off from work. I try to do this for the Monday after any dance weekend. Saves sanity.
In the morning, I went to the spa for a calming scalp massage and nice pedicure. My toes are sparkly coral. Yay! In the afternoon, I got to pick up Emi from school (early release) and go for Culver's. After Culver's, Downwood took the kidz to the hardware store and they bought a bunch of sand. Now, instead of a weed-filled, extremely sad excuse for a garden, we have a giant sandbox.
Ox is in HEAVEN. This is the best thing ever. Better than birthday AND Christmas AND Halloween. So awesome.
Dance class was good, if hurty. We had some BUW girls, which was nice. I had major problems with the step combinations in the proto-choreo M was throwing at us, but it was overall okay. I'm sore today, which is to be expected.
Today - Started the day by working from home for a while. Then went to therapy. Now am at work. Have had several conversations I'd rather not have. Have also been getting freaked out at by various people who need to not be freaking out at me. This makes me sad.
But, I'm back to juggling madly and not doing too bad a job of it.
