Thank you Mari!

3 songs ultimately won't be enough of course... but i will step up gradually. the 3 or 4 times a week i think is the more important part for now.

today the parents left well before quiet hours so i took the opportunity to sing/play instead. i sat for some but did others standing/moving (Wicked Game and Lolita). sing + guitar + dance/sway = decent energy output + breathing discipline.

considering how little i did though... i can still feel my arms... like LEAD BRICKS! perhaps after i build up the dance time, i'll add wristweights to help strengthen my arms.

i had a different problem a couple of times too. a couple lines hit me out of the blue like a knife in the gut and i stopped cold in a flood of tears. i mean, i've gotten teary while performing before, but could usually channel it back through the music. this was different... it was poignant and ripped me OUT of the music. it was weird.

i dunno. it may just be that today i am feeling really really bad. i felt bad from the get-go and have been feeling worse and worse.

-----------------------------
i also realized that space where i dance could possibly accomodate some yoga. the nice thing is it's off to the side and partitioned off by a low table, a chair, plants boxes and ... general mess. so i just have to buy myself a proper mat for that and/or just stretching. winter is coming.
-----------------------------

thanks so much for your encouragement on this. i really can use it.

i hope you have a good day at work!
