a really nice day
Sep. 27th, 2016 11:04 pmMy day started earlier than I had been hoping for, when I woke at 03:00 because that annoying pain between the shoulder blades that seems to only come while sleeping had returned (I had an issue with this back in 2014, but the exercises the physical therapist gave me cleared it up--it has started up again in recent weeks, so I have started trying to remember to do those exercises again). Therefore I got up and did some stuff for Norrskensfest (31 people registered, and still nearly two months to go before the event) and checked email before returning to bed at 06:00 for two more hours sleep.
The second time I got up I went in to the office, where I spent a busy productive day that kept me amused till it was time to head to Phire practice. Before practice I was feeling a bit tired, and considered just heading home, but my acroyoga partner, E., had sent me links to this video of a routine, and to this one, both of which looked both fun, and within reach of our current skill level, so we had to try them. I can report that we are NOT as graceful as the people in the two films. However, with a bit of help from our spotters we did manage both routines, for certain, generous definitions of the word "manage". We are both looking forward to playing more with these on Friday. We also had a couple of new girls, one of whom is so tiny that she doesn't even weight 50 kg (I am about 56), so I got to be the base for a change, which is a good thing to practice so as to make me a better flyer. Then I did my yoga for the day as E. went to practice juggling for a bit.
After Phire it was time for Choir, where we sang only high energy songs. The choir is up to about 20 members, which is really nice after a couple of slow years, and by the end of the evening I was so full of energy that I kept singing as I cycled home (well, not when I passed people going the other direction). That energy lasted long enough to make draft of a poster calling for yet more people to join choir if they wish to be part of this year's Lucia performance, read a bit of FB, and now post this. But it is now after 23:00, so I had better wrap this up and head to sleep. Though a bit more yoga might be wise, first.
