Yes, it's been ages since I've last blogged. School has taken up most of my time, and I've just finished one full week of teaching. Before that, I was on a cleaning rampage. Now, I have a bit of relaxing time, and I can't decide what to do because it feels bizarre to slow down from a fast pace of work, work, work, and work. But, I am now trying to catch up to what has last happened since I documented the drama of our lives.
Theo the kitten has been a terror with both Rocco and Shak, but this moodiness changes once it's bedtime. Then he gets all sweet and cuddly. It's as if he has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome.
Tonight it has been raining on and off , and both Leigh and I are relaxing. Two days ago, Mom's hand was injured when some inconsiderate nurse smashed Mom's hand with the tray (again!) I was furious, and I'd love to find out who this incompetent individual is so that I can get her fired from her job. She has no business working with the elderly if she is not careful or caring with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, for now, the home has no idea who it could be---but then again, when do they ever?? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Flamenco/Belly Dance class has kept me feeling happier than I have been. I don't know if it's the yoga or just the sheer fun of dancing (or both) that makes life seem easier if only for a few hours. Either way, I enjoy attending class. Plus, I finally did make a purchase on a skirt that can be used for both Flamenco and Belly Dancing. I am a bit nervous about whether I made the right choice or not, but I decided to take the plunge and spend a tad bit on myself. Yes, this new passion of mine is costing a bit of money. But I've been very watchful of not overdoing it. (If you don't count the two cds I purchased a few weeks ago...lol.) Other than that, I have been angelic. Here's what the skirt looks like:
