Busy busy dance dance
Dec. 18th, 2025 09:45 pmYesterday I worked up until it was time to bike over to my chiropractic appointment (20 minute appointment, a small amount of adjusting with an activator, mostly really good bodywork), biked back over the ridge between me and the lake, stopped at CVS for Opcon A but the lines were too long, ate a quick dinner, and biked across town for the Balkan dance night at Ashkenaz.
Biked across town for that last week, but last week it turned out they were having a Grateful Dead revival band instead, so I turned around and biked home.
This week, it was indeed the dance night, and I had a good time. My ankle felt solid, and I had enough stamina for the fast dances again. It felt really good! My ankle was a little achy on the bike ride home, but it didn't bother me today, so hopefully it was tendons being put under strain in a good way, for more healing. I used to think any tendon pain was a problem, but my PT swore up and down it could be ok.
When I got home I sent a couple of emails I hadn't had time to send earlier, thought about what to post, and turned around and fell into bed. I didn't realize until this morning that I had missed a day. Oh well!
Today, I worked up until time for my weight training lesson (good thing it's just down the block!), came home, ate a Go Macro bar and fed the cat, and then my friend was here to pick me up to go to his mini-golf birthday party. It was fun to hang out with his friends. And I actually won, even though I have no technique. Depth perception really helps!
We got home late, so I only ran part of my zoom Balkan dance group, and then chatted with my friend. Now I am writing to you folks with my cat curled in my lap, and then I will take a short hot bath with epsom salt in hopes of avoiding being very sore tomorrow.
Sore or not, I'm really enjoying picking up heavy things and putting them down again. I like the present-moment body awareness when the weight is heavy enough to have my full attention, but not too heavy.
Tomorrow I'm working, and I have an eye doctor appointment in the afternoon, and then I'm seeing Kitka in concert in the evening. Hopefully not with my eyes dilated. 'Tis the busy holiday season!
Wishing everyone a Happy Hanukkah. We need all the light we can get!
