Aikidomayland asked if I wanted to go to archery today. He doesn't seem to understand that going at full speed for over a week, I could use some time off for lazy behavior. And seeing as he didn't get up until well after 10am, I feel I am also entitled to a bit of down time.

As much as I enjoyed our 'vacation' in Melbourne, I'm glad to be home. No more running around insane, trying to pack in as much activity in an allotted amount of time.

Now, if only we could figure out how to placate 3 rather clingy, needy cats.

Today was the end of a good weekend.

Called Jascarine to see how 'the kids' were doing. Simba as adapted and adopted his new home and humans so well, that he is already sitting in laps. Lucy, like usual, is still a bit shy, but it's only been two weeks. Also, Simba showed them something we had told them about. If the sandbox isn't clean enough, Simba will show them. He dug, swept and scooped ALL the litter out onto the floor, deliberately and with forethought. Then stood there waiting for it to be properly tidied and refilled. Jascrine was amused by this, and not fussed as they have hardwood floors. Was easy to clean up.

A friends' cat is recovering, and back at home.

Archery was pretty good today. We had the state coach wandering up and down the line.. well coaching. Funnily enough, he didn't stop and coach me, as I was using a horsebow, rather than a standard recurve. Telling me to stand up straight, or not hold the bow so tightly would have had me telling him "With all due respect, sir, if I did that, the arrow would fall off the back of my hand." But he did give Aikidomayland a good tip about something I had told him he was doing. When he starts getting tired, he tends to lift his shoulder. I guess he believed it coming from an 'expert'.

Aikidomayland and I had a hankering for pancakes, so that's what I made for lunch. He was surprised at just how easy it is to mix up. He likes watching me make this as I just do it, no recipe book, just get it ready.

Aikidomayland umm 'grew a pair' and told his mother that he likes his job and has not plans to quit, but if a better job offer came by, he would 'consider' it.

He and I also cooked dinner together. Was very nice.

Current 'Tude happily tuckered out

I was ok after the archery shoot yesterday. Leg felt a bit heavy, leaden, but there was no real pain to speak of whatsoever. Decided to give Sunset Coast a miss today, just to be safe.

Foo Gwai for lunch is a must. ;) Porkbun dutifully sacrificed to

Went to Garden City and got an aerobic step, so I can give my left calf a really good stretch a few times a day. Walked around there for a half hour or so.

Been trying to figure out why my Toshiba PPC and my Visor refuses to sync with the laptop. Voq Smart phone does, but since I was rather forced to upgrade the activesync (had to for the smartphone) I have been having trouble getting the PPC/Visor to sync properly. I finally beat the PPC into submission by synching via the ir. Slllooooooooooooooooow. Maybe it's the cradle... I dunno. I can synch them both to the main desktop, though.

Dance class was more like workshop/dance class today. By request of a few students, we did a mini workshop on how to do tassels and tasselbelts. After that, we did some dancing, teaching them at least one new dance move, and making minor corrections on already known dance moves. Was asked last night if the old crew would be there tonight. My answer sums it up perfectly "Don't know, don't care."

Came home, made sure all is in readiness for tonight, tried to take a short nap (no joy), and printed out flyers for our upcoming student salon. Brewing a pot of coffee to sip on now, and got some honey/nuts/raisin bite sized snacks packed and ready to go. So much to do, and so little time to get it all done! :)

Moshing to Crowded House - I feel Possesed

That is a pretty good word.

Yesterdays dance class was intense and instructive. Worked on technique. Irene has a bit of a problem as she is bowlegged (as she said, from years of both ballet and horseback riding) so I have had to make adapatations for her, so the dance moves look the same, but are done differently than how the rest do them. And they work nicely. Comes in handy having PT experience.

Both her and Ellen tend to make the moves too big on their left sides, but that stems from being righthanded and thinking the move isn't 'big enough' on the left so exaggerate it a bit. Small thing to work out. :)

Vivienne was the 'trooper of the day'. She was still feeling a bit ill, but said she had missed enough. We both told her to sit and rest if needed. Rhad is improving in leaps and bounds.

They all said they would be at the rehersal/practice session next Friday. :)
