1) had a friendly dance with John, and a later dance that was made of love and transcendent.
2) had a dance with Oksana which she thanked me for after, describing it as, "dance here is like being a fish swimming in the ocean. Dancing with you was like being a different fish swimming in a different ocean!" I'm in love with this description. I was broadcasting you are safe, anything you want and nothing you don't the whole time... I don't always get the chance to be so purely trusting and supportive, and that was so nice for me tonight.
3) saw Richard, the guy who has often been creepy, staring at me while I'm dancing. This time when he walked towards me in the "I'm going to see if you'll dance with me" mode, instead of avoiding him for several songs, I made eye contact with him, smiled, and wiggled my fingers. Never tried that before, but he was definitely less awful tonight. How much of that is me (see above and the courage to have a transcendent dance with John *happy sigh*
4) knee mostly behaved itself. I took a break during the extremely high energy dances to make sure I didn't do anything further to it.
5) got ALL THE HUGS. Claire and Joe and John (mmmmmm I love him), Sergey, Musician John, Dixie, Brian, James, Eri... I miss Thom like hell.
Now I have no dance commitments for five weeks. Weird as hell. Guess I'm going to have to go out to dinner with more friends, or try some live music venues.
NB re my knee: I need to find out if I have a physical therapy or an MRI scheduled. We talked about it, Dr K and me, but I can't remember what the plan was, and I forgot to take notes.
😝
Okay that's it for tonight. I need food and acetaminophen.
