Interesting day yesterday!
I did some cleaning and paid the bills, that was good. Then I took a shower and tried to darken my hair with coffee, but it did nothing, I will have to see if I can get some black walnut hulls and try that. Several people have expressed that they like it this way, but I think it's too bright and too unnatural. And yes, I've washed it a few times.
Anyway, I went to archery and I shot! I used the 20-lb "baby-bow" which is about the lightest any adult starts with, and I did get pretty sore, but I shot fairly well, Moira said my form was about perfect and I was doing well with the followthru (i.e. there is none, you just release from your fingers, the rest of your body stays poised). And I could see it in my scores, I didn't keep track most of it but I had a couple bullseyes, and a fair number of reds, blues and blacks, and missed altogether only once or twice. :)
So then when I was done with archery, I sat down with friends but found I didn't feel like sitting still. So I went out by the middle-eastern dancers! I'd watched them last week and this week I joined in. They taught me some basic moves and put up with my confusion on the specific muscle groups to engage for this or that. It was fun! I stayed there til someone came to get me for social. When we hit state St, I took off and got healthy stuff, tarkari and rice from Himal Chuli, and took it into the bar. Had cider and ate my food, hung out with the crowd.
fencert had a rough day and was lookin' droopy tho, and I only had an extra half hour this morning, so we took off.
This morning sucked...I always remember to set my main alarm clock forward when I hae extra time, but I never remember to set the stereo-clock-timer forward, so the radio comes on at 6:30am, and it's news not music so I wake up and/or absorb half-formed dream-news instead of much-needed extra sleep. :/
