One nice thing about being an engineer is having a good number of male coworkers who will willingly help push your car when it is stuck in the snow :) Not that a woman couldn't do it but myself and the other females were in heels that night.
Poor parking decision on my part but I may have still been high on adrenalin at the time. I was coming from my first performance ever which I only had two days to learn. I don't think I've ever been that anxious before a performance - I actually felt nauseated the day before. But it went fine and I was just so happy I made it through. It helps to have amazing Cuban dancers on either side of you to take away the pressure. Two elegant bookends make almost any book look extra good ;)
Speaking of books, I finished devouring MaddAddam and am currently rereading the rest of the Oryx and Crake trilogy. I couldn't resist! Margaret Atwood has such a knack not just for speculative fiction, but even for brand/product names and company names in the speculative future. Maybe she should be copyrighting that stuff even though it doesn't really exist yet.
Oh double practice Sundays ... How you challenge my body so. I really should get up and make my work lunches for the week. I need to make sure food is accessible all week, since I will be rushing between work and dance even more than usual. One of my favourite dancers is coming to do workshops for seven days. It's none other than Alien Ramirez (the one I was thrilled to be mistaken for in Miami ... even if it was very very brief). Okay my hunger is beating out my beaten body ... must go cook! I am on a stir fry kick right now. I didn't realize there were so many ready-made sauces out there to make life easier.
