Timelies all!
Yesterday we went to Gary's Alumni Weekend. I only knew one other person there, so it was a bit awkward for me. Did a crab cake luncheon(decent food), a lacrosse game(it was cold and windy and someone insisted on sitting at the top of the bleachers, so I was freezing out there) and a 30th reunion dinner(Since there were no Alumni Weekends in 2020 and 2021, they included the classes of 1990 and 1991 along with 1992.) Not really my idea of fun, but I did agree to do it...
I have been at a dance event all weekend, which has been weird but fun. But omg my body is out of this habit. I have sore spots on my feet and all my muscles hurt, and I didn’t even dance as much as I used to!! But I’m really really hoping we don’t get another wave that cancels the next event that’s happening in May, it’s my favorite and I really want everyone to come and not have to wear masks (most people this weekend aren’t but some are, and I have been just because I’ve got plans to travel next weekend and it would be v bad timing!)
I was a recluse in the before times, mostly doing things with Maria. Maria has become more of a recluse, and does not want to do anything. We went for a walk on the beach two weeks ago.
Last week, though, I WENT TO A PLAY. It was with folks from work and it was so amazing. The play itself was just OK, but I was in a theatre with people, which is what theatre is. We haven’t had that for awhile.
Mmmmm, socializing. The guy we are staying with goes Salsa dancing weekly at a local casino. They have lessons and stuff. He has a blast. I may go with him. I told him I seem to lack the salsa gene, but who knows.
Made a trip over to see my sister today to see if she needed anything. My other sister arrives for a visit on the 30th. Easier to make a day round trip as I am at least a half hour closer. Took 1 hr 40 min to get here, which is easier for a day trip.
Brain still going non-stop so I ordered a sleep headband with bluetooth speakers and downloaded some sleep meditations and music. Hope it helps. My sleep scores have sucked for weeks.
Now that you have the house and boat stuff squared away (congratulations!), perhaps sleep will be a little easier, Laura.
I’m glad Prubs came thru ok.
Man, you can just see Kenneth Branagh's head swelling to the point that it might lift him off the stage...
I've been Lurky Lou for a bit. But Robin got into DePaul University.
Glad Prubs came through surgery okay.

She's been very perky today and eating all the fancy lettuce.
But Robin got into DePaul University.
Exciting! Congratulations to Robin and your whole fam!
