Tentative Recovery

My chronic exhaustion of earlier this week may be finally over, and not a minute too soon.

Yesterday afternoon, I was watching the clock: 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM... Although I felt a little tired, at no point however did I collapse with exhaustion. In fact, I felt well enough that I joined kent4str for C1 dancing in Arlington, VA --and actually danced most of the evening.

I attribute this miraculous recovery to a large meat lover's pizza I ordered the previous night when neither cuyahogarvr nor kent4str were at home to stop me. Mmmm... pizza...

Tonight, I'm calling Mainstream and Plus for the DC Lambda Squares, tossing in a light Advanced set or two if there's demand from our newest A2 graduates.

Club Night with DC Lambda Squares

I was nominally to call Mainstream/Plus for the DC Lambda Squares tonight but since we had no Mainstream dancers, I modified the program somewhat: we had nearly all Plus with two short A2 sets to drill some of the tougher calls for our newest Advanced graduates.

In all, it was a good night. Some of the newer Plus dancers were having difficulty with seeing diamonds and were confused with the difference between "cut the diamond" and "flip the diamond," but these were easily resolved with gentle guidance. Any issues with the dancing was swept aside by a kick-ass closing singing call to "It's Hard to be Humble"... everyone knows the lyrics, can sing along and danced with the wind in their faces to a delightful close to the night.

kent4str calls Advanced for the Zig Zaggers tomorrow night, we're attending a C2 workshop chez justetthon on Saturday and we're hosting a newbie caller workshop Sunday as well as a DC Diamond Circulate committee meeting. Whee!
