Tango lessons, as of the New Year, have been moved to Tuesdays at 9:30, instead of Mondays at 7:30. I went once at the new time, when I got back from the states, but unfortunately, part of downtown had a blackout, which, although interesting, meant that dancing was out of the question. Every week I mean to go with such gusto, but there are excuses or reasons why I don't. Usually, it's that I'm kind of settled for the evening at home, and don't wish to go out. The new location (in addition to the time) means that it's only 30 minutes' walk away, so I'm always in two minds as to whether I should walk it or bus it (which, depending on when busses go by, might take just as long), and the lateness of the hour and recent iciness of the sidewalks don't make such a decision any easier.
Tonight, I've decided that it's not a good idea as I'm feeling a bit light-headed and almost dizzy. Not valuable assets in a sport which require a strong core and balance.
Generally, though, I think I need to get out a bit more in the evenings and be more social, as since I've been back, I've been a bit of a homebody, watching DVDs, reading fantasy, and eating far more than I ought. I know what all this means - black dog is bigger than it ought to be. Part of me knows I need more exercise. Perhaps I should join the gym, though I really want to jog outside. But though they manage to salt the roads, they don't necessarily manage the sidewalks, and these tend to stay iciest the longest, Plus I like to go in the morning, so that's when the roads are most dangerous, comparatively.
I regret that I didn't use the facilities we had at MHC - namely, an indoor track.
I'll figure it out. I am managing, I think, to keep myself a bit busier than normal. Going to go paint a mirror frame now.
