I finally slowed down today. It is day 5 of my long weekend off and I really needed to get some laundry done. I have been putting off any chores or regular day to day stuff to indulge in pleasure and fun. I need pleasure and fun. I deserve pleasure and fun. I had LOTS of pleasure and fun the last several days.
Don't read this wrong, I have lots of fun but it tends to be the same ol' same ol' all the time. It was nice to spend a weekend off IN AUSTIN. I did get a little sad a few times but it passed. I haven't really allowed myself to sit still much since last week. Sometimes idle is good, in this case, not so much. I did different things this weekend but I also held true to what makes me most happy. Dancing.
I found myself sticky, sweaty on many different dance floors this weekend. Ginny's, Gruene Hall, Waterloo Ice House, Continental Club and tonight, Broken Spoke. I'm really happy I have something I enjoy so much. Dancing really is a release for me. I feel pretty when I twirl my skirt. I haven't been feeling very pretty for a while. That's gotta change.
Today as I said, I'm doing my laundry. I also washed Keeper. She really smelled foul. I'm also going to go shoot guns with a co-worker in a few hours. All of these things are good for me. Maybe in time I can slow down but right now my brain needs to keep moving.
I'm thankful for the people in my life even if I only ever get to talk to them in text messages because they're 1,000's of miles away. I'm equally as grateful to work with a great team of people. Yesterday, 10 of us floated The Guadalupe River with coolers of beer and mucho SPF 50. I managed to drink just enough to be sober by the time the float was done AND keep enough sun screen on to only get a slight red tint to my skin.
