Folk Dance has started back up again after break

[kareina]

Today wasn't quite as productive as yesterday. It had snowed in the night, so after my morning workout I shoveled the walk ways and half the driveway, before deciding that my fingers on the hand with a hole in my wool glove were too cold (despite the cotton/leather shell I had on over it). Then we went shopping and replaced the filter for the vacuum cleaner before picking up a few groceries. The first store had a "try me" foot massage machine set up, so, of course I tried it. Want! But since my bank account has a much lower balance than normal from having paid for a year's worth of personal trainer last month in celebration of my birthday, I decided not to get the foot massage machine. Though my feet are telling me that they think that one of those machines under my computer desk would be a grand and wonderful thing.

After shopping I took a nap and then had dinner and helped lord_kjar carry the pieces of the old piano downstairs and move the wooden sofa/bench to where the new piano used to be (next to the stereo) and the recliner couch to where the wooden sofa/bench used to be. By that time it was time to head to Folk Dance, but we realized that we hadn't plugged the car back in after shopping, so I plugged it in, and shoveled the rest of the driveway before heading to dance so as to give it a bit of time to warm up. That made me a bit late, but better late than never.

lord_kjar wound up staying home from dance. He has a computer that a client gave him to repair before Christmas, but he hasn't gotten to it, and decided that today was finally the time. So he didn't get to meet the two new dancers who joined us. One, A., looks young enough that if she were to tell me she is still in high school I will believe her. The other, K., looks to be around my age or a bit older. She is a midwife at the hospital, and says that she often drives past the Gillestuga where we dance and has seen us here dancing and wished she could join us, and now she has. Since she is a midwife, she of course, knows the other Viscountess in the shire and the Countess, since both are gynecologists at the hospital.

Both of them caught on quickly, and it was much fun dancing, as always. I hope they keep coming back, and both of them seemed to enjoy it enough that I think they will.

Now I should put down the computer, do yoga, and see if I can go to bed at a reasonable hour to go to work in the morning.
