So I made the decision to have fun tonight and I did. I had a number of great dances. Even danced with a guy named bill from San Fran. He’s more beginner-ish than anything but I let him know that I’ll be in San Fran — along with a bunch of other dancers.
I had lovely dances with a number of Vancouver leads, several that would include that elusive ‘yumminess’, a crazy fun solo dance with one of the other follows and apparently it was necessary to speak in a British accent (badly, I might add) with another friend — I have instituted that the next time we see each other it will be ‘pirate themed’. There were great dances with NMDF, and a solo disco dance with one of my other friends.
All in all, an evening of delight, confirming what I suspected — sometimes it is about choice. Thursday I was definitely messy, and realized the value of friends when I had 3 separate guy friends all sitting or standing around me, making sure I was okay as I sat away from the dancing (I didn’t specifically ask them to come, they just came). I definitely needed friends and especially cherish that they came up, to me one by one (until 3 were there), and this on a follow heavy night. I felt very valued.  Thursday night I wasn’t in a place of being able to make the choice to have fun, but Friday I could and I did. I was able to set aside the personal crises and I was truly having a great time — I was truly ‘me’. Tonight it was the same thing. Another evening of yumminess and delight.  And it was a conscious choice I made. I have to remember that.
Then I went out to my car. Someone had jimmied the driver’s lock and broken into my car. They got a loonie. Yes, that’s right one… the one I keep there for shopping carts.  That and my sleeping bag and foamy. I keep (er kept) them there because I go to Seattle often, so it just seemed easier. Now that needs replacing earlier than I’d planned.  They messed everything up, and I am more annoyed than  anything, at least they didn’t smash the glass like the car ahead of mine.
Thankfully a friend was with me, support is always good. Apparently I need to not park there anymore.
Now I have to shop and get my lock fixed…
