Considering the fact that this week I’ve been half asleep and slightly miserable every day, I’m really quite content on the inside. It’s my body that refuses to cooperate!
Oh, you guys will get a kick out of this: This morning I had to use the restroom (surprise, surprise), and most everyone was out of the office for just a few minutes a piece. Unfortunately, that meant there was only one other person to catch the phone while I was indisposed. I heard the phone, rushed to get to the nearest one and this is where the funny part comes in. It rang and rang while I ran; the other person didn’t realize she needed to catch it if she could; I reached the closest telephone and reached hurriedly over the desk to get to it. *slip* *bang* *scramble* *scratch* *thud* I gave up and just lay there–squished between the desk and the credenza, my arm caught in the computer monitor cords, my head aching, my shoes falling off, and started to cry. It was just NOT my day today. Then I realized the dang phone was STILL ringing off the hook, so I made one last mad dive for it–and it stopped. Sheesh.
Last night at ballet I was very slow and sleepy, although I think I did pretty well considering. But at the very end of class, one of the older girls asked me how they were supposed to know when the “brush” was, and so I showed her. The next thing I knew, I was waltzing across the floor on my own, feeling like I was flying! In class, you’re usually very careful to be within the acceptable limits of technique, but afterwards, there are no rules. It was awesome. I think it’s probably the first time I’ve allowed myself to dance freely-uninhibited-knowing what I’m doing, yet not having to concentrate. It’s absolutely amazing. You should try it sometime. 
My buddy comes home this weekend. I can hardly wait! We are going to the Lake with the Outsiders and then to Camp Thunder on Saturday. He’s promised to show us Moss Falls if there’s time.
Well, back to studying and working.
