freixenetI made it through all holidays. Thank the gods. I also am on my way to North Carolina in about two hours for a conference--the same one I was hosting at my own campus last year at this time. WHY O WHY is this conference always the weekend before my classes start?? Terrible timing. Anyway, just this one last hurdle and then I can settle in and settle down.
My Charlie-Cat is now on sub q fluids. His kidneys are just not doing it for him anymore. 17 year old kidneys! No wonder. It's been a while since I needed to jab a cat with a needle and Charlie is so lean it's hard to find that little pocket on the back of his neck! But after doing it a few times, he's starting to settle and realize that he actually feels good during and warm after, so he's cool. Cooler than poor D, who will have to do this himself Friday night when I'm out of town. D's first attempt was not pretty. We'll see how this goes!
I joined an accountability group with some friends and by god, it got me to dance class Tuesday night, where I had a BLAST and wondered, as I always do, why I ever stopped going. I loved every moment, even when I grokked the realization that wearing my new practice shoes for two and a half hours wasn't smart. And I haven't lost too much ground, apparently, according to the more experienced dancers I was with, so...YES. This is my year. Fuck back surgery and chronic hip pain and leg cramps. FUCK that noise. I hope I don't wimp out next Tuesday. No, I won't. This is what the accountability group is for!
I'm off to the airport. I'll see y'all on the other side.
