Water your plants, water yourself

Happy May Day! Work exploded and I have An Impossible Project to complete before 9 am tomorrow, which means 8 am, and I’m nearly done with it. I’ll probably log in tomorrow morning around 7 to finish it up.   BUT! Tonight I started a West Cost Swing dance class and wow, it was so much fun! I know nothing about West Coast Swing, and it was really a lovely class. After learning the forms, we paired off and started doing the dance, and I was having such a good time. My partner of the moment (we rotate so that we get more experience with different people’s styles of dancing) said I was just so beautiful that she could barely look at me, and I checked to make sure she wasn’t joking, and then said thank you. I was really enjoying myself, and it must have showed. Also, I just love dancing in general. The best part is that everyone else was wearing tennis shoes. I took my dance shoes, but by the end of the 90 (+ an extra 15) minute class, my feet were aching and I was ready to get off the dance floor. I’m looking forward to going next week. I also really like that the instructor doesn’t use numbers for the instruction (just Slow or Quick) and she even said “please don’t practice.” Such a keeper.   I am tired but filled. My mind is still awake, and I’m hungry, so even though the clock time is all wrong, I think it’s time for a salad and a glass of milk and an episode of Dead Boy Detectives.   Life is good. ❤️ 

Well today got derailed. Mr.R gave roomy a task and more or less asked if I could stay home to watch the puppy. I decided to stop at the beach on the way home for a little bit of me time. Once home I got the bare minimum of my spritesheet done for my tamagotchi app. It was hard to really do much while watching the puppy though.    For lunch I made crispy tofu and brussel sprouts. It was yum. And I remembered to take ground beef out of the freezer so roomy could make dinner tonight. I need to do groceries badly.    Afterwards I met my friend and we went to a garden center. I got 1 cherry bomb, 1 jalapeno, 2 butter lettuce, 1 purple tomato and 1 rainbow cherry tomato plant... I wasn't planning on doing the planter this year because of lack of energy but I couldn't help it.    Tomorrow I'll get to my parents. I have a massive headache tonight that I hope goes away. I've been bad about drinking water.   Move ✅ Homemade food ✅   For movement I had my walk around the garden center and I had an active play session with the dogs.     

And she is on Kindle Unlimited! Excellent. Starting with the Wicked, Ugly, Bad one because that title looks promising  

Very nice! Convenient location is one of the most important factors when picking a gym. I hope you enjoy every moment you spend there!

That sounds like a really interesting topic. Though I still think "healthy undiagnosed" would have been a better term... but when in doubt, go with the industry standard so the review board understands you.  

There is nothing fake about this. It's just a different way of sharing something you saw and like, in a way that best conveys the part of the subject that matters to you. 

She had at one point but I don't know what happened. Retrospectively she acknowledges she got a lot accomplished with them but I think she also didn't trust that they didn't sneakily get rid of stuff and felt bullied into giving stuff away. She's a very paranoid person to begin with. I'll pry a bit into it and see if it's something she is open to again once I get a job.    She used to have a house cleaner to do laundry, dishes, watering plants, helping her go through things. She has since retired. And I have no problem doing the cleaning and little tasks. I think she could use professional help which she had used in the past. Perhaps I can warm her up to the idea again and ease her into it. 

I had a coworker/friend who had no sentimental feelings toward anything she'd outgrown, and I relied on her body doubling to accomplish a go-through-my-stuff purge of college left overs. So I get what you mean. X)

Good luck! Looks like a good set of goals.
