Bloody Cold
Woke up with my first cold of the fall. Actually was awake half of the night- tried to stay in bed until it went away but eventually the dog needed out. So much for that plan.
This past week has been uneventful, in a good way. Did see a show last weekend involving a Balkan Gypsy band with lots of brass and a dancer. The main attraction was the Gypsy Kings: the New Generation. Yes, really. They sound exactly like the Kings, play their songs, but are younger and prettier. Why let a good franchise die if it's still lucrative? I had actually thought that The New Generation was a new album title, did not occur to me that they'd simply replaced the old timers. Guess I'm just not a creative, think-outside-the-box type. Who knew?
Saw an old friend and gossiped terribly over coffee. Finally got into the Bellydance class I wanted. Received a card from someone I haven't heard from in a long time. She was a mother-figure to me for a long while. Now getting a card from her sparks very strange/disturbing dreams of her insanity. I do think she lost it. But she is far too proud to listen to anyone other than her husband. And he ain't talking because he hates conflict. So it goes on. If I ever become excessively bitchy or otherwise off. Tell me. I will do the same. I feel it is part of the price of friendship/close relationships, (romantic or familial)this sort of honesty. I've seen far too many people veer off into lifestyles and other ways of being that don't suit them because they somehow got off course and no one wanted the burden of confronting them. Some eventually find themselves again, much later, others have not.
Okay...see what happens when I have a cold? I need a hug and a cookie.
Friday night we are going to what appears to be a very cool affair. Involves gothic belldancers (?) and Victorian era odds and ends. Why not? It's Halloween time, this is a good warm up.
