parasitegirl | Polka dot busy

Welcome to the latest installment of I Realize I Am Busy.

Surprise… I’m BUSY! is not unlike how I feel about the polka-dot bandana I am wearing today. I chose it this morning. I pinned my hair up, tied it on, and pinned it again for safe-keeping. And, yet, every time I catch a reflection of myself I am surprised. OMG I am wearing a something CUTE!

My schedule, my hair-wear, I did this to myself. It seems unfamiliar and alien. Who did this to me?! I like it but…why wasn’t I consulted? I not only got the memo but I wrote it? Hmmm.

Like a goldfish, I will forget again. I will remember many times today.

What is surprising me today? My Tuesday night classes start earlier now. I knew this two weeks ago…and yet I thought October was further away. Last week I was explaining how next week we would do such and such but the format would change in October. Not realizing that next week WAS October.

What else?

I start a new class. Of COURSE I do…because I have so much time. It’s at a culture center. Unfamiliar surroundings. Replacing a leaving teacher. They’re getting the “Bellydance” choreo without zills. I was thinking Raqs Mimi but I think I need to nail the fun early.

I have ordered new Melodia capris. None of the Japanese off-brands are in stock or else they come in XS.

I’m going to work a bit more into the 9/8 choreography today before I teach. Soon I’ll get back to those of you who’ve offered to help.
