Jun. 17th, 2015 10:40 pmWell. That was one of the dumber things I've done lately. You know how summer rainstorms happen and it pours down buckets for about half an hour and then it's bright and sunny again? Yeah, I was the idiot who decided that it wouldn't pass it would just keep raining (in my defense it had done that a couple nights running last week or so) and who decided her umbrella would protect her (it didn't).
So then I got to go buy a skirt and wander around barefoot and skirted at work, something which I do often at home especially in summer but not so much at work. It feels weird. I was thinking of getting a new couple of skirts anyway, but NOT THIS SOON. And not because I was a moron.
But I did, and now I have a couple of Father's Day cards and a new skirt. Go me.
I have also managed to discover that the local capoeira place, I knew there was one but I had no idea where, is actually within walking distance and I could totally go after work. I'd have to leave work a bit early, but I could totally go. And then they do weekend morning classes downtown. I think at the moment the plan is to go Saturday morning, focus on the hurricane kicks and the handstands so I don't freak out at having to meet a potentially largeish group of new people, see what everyone's like and what a beginner experience is like, and then decide if I'm going next week wednesday. I have jazz sneakers for a start, so that might work for shoes, but I haven't had just plain sneakers in forever so this might necessitate a trip to a thrift store or something. But I also have copious sweats and t-shirts so that also works. And then. Well. I've wanted to do this for ten plus years now. I just didn't realize it was right there.
Right. It's bedtime, which means I need to stop fussing at my budget to see how much capoeira it can tolerate (self, the classes max out at $40 per month and that's only a savings if your body can tolerate more than 1 class a week calm down) and report in. Superhero training is clearly in for an upgrade with martial arts, which, heh, wasn't I just saying I needed to switch that up? I was thinking it at least. Word count is 8,967, almost 2k over minimums so that's good, and maybe at some point soon I can finish those three stories I'm working at and be free to do something else after Nano and while I work on WL proper. God, probably one of those fanfiction stories. Um. There was something else. House improvements this month are we got a window AC unit for the downstairs, that'll have to do. But on the plus side it means we can have more than 1-2 people over in the summer, in the downstairs, without everyone melting from humidity.
