Knowing my limits

[clevermanka]

I backed out of the performance in the after-workshop show in St. Louis. Jo was very nice and understanding. I was relieved. There was no way I was going to be ready to perform that choreography by April 30. I'm still going to the workshop, though. I'm a bit testy about losing two weekends in a row to out of town travel on things that I normally wouldn't mind doing, but I'm still recovering from a year of stress. I feel like I have so much to do right now. All I want to do is relax or do things that will help me feel relaxed. Dance workshops and visiting family don't neccessarily fall under that category. Normally the family thing would be fine, but right now...eh. Not sure.

Back to bellydance: in an interesting mix of cultures, Aladdin Café will be hosting dancers on Cinco de Mayo. Olé and Opa on the same night!

Sometimes, my dear, you just gotta know when to back off and do things solely for yourself.

FYI - Link Wray ended up being cancelled. Luckily, after mesniu bowed out, and I had spent the day stressed out thanks to annoyances with my chick bits...I had opted out myself. I would have been really pissed if I got there and it was off...

Oh, man, I am so glad things panned out the way they did, then. I would have been pissed as hell if I worked my ass off to get there and then there was no show. Guess it was all for the best.

A very difficult lesson for me, but one I'm gradually trying to learn.

I'd forgotten about that movie. I should rent it again.

oooh, do you know what time the belly dancers perform at Aladdins?

We usually start around 7:30. Get there early to get a table, though.
