1845

Dance today went well--I was rather stiff and immobile at first. But I loosened up as the time went by--and by the end I was dancing smoothly except for Islands in the Stream. That dance has become my nemesis--my muscles seem to have forgotten how the move in the dance. It's odd since what's happening in that dance is not happening in other dances--at least not to the extent that it's manifesting every time we dance it.

A woman joined the class today--she is a ballroom dancer and she showed it. She moved with grace and great posture--even though we were doing country music.

Weather has cooled down some finally--still getting into the 90s but the 100+ patterns are probably done for the rest of the year.

Yesterday's techno-stress helped me sleep soundly last night--I didn't get up as often as I usually do. I've established a procedure for handling my phone battery--although the charger doesn't seem to full charge my phone battery. The display shows a nearly full level of charge--but when I put the battery in the phone it only registers as being around 50% charged. Oh, well--it'll make do until I find out that the phone can be repaired.

I also helped sort out a mystery regarding MD's phones--she was getting robo-calls with no connection being made. She hasn't learned how to query her phone--and get a list of missed calls. Her phone life would be so much easier if she would just use her wireless unit--but that appears impossible as she clicks through her 101 year. Whatever stress she has around techno-items--is eased with ice cream and other treats (she downs an enormous amount of sweets every day). I guess that once anyone reaches 100--they can eat what they please and she does it fully.

Back to RSB tomorrow--and dance in the afternoon. I've come to the conclusion that I have to do even more exercise--that the exercise that I'm doing is having positive results. On the days when I don't do intense exercise--I feel weak and foggy. Will be signing up for a B&L program in September--and that will give me a chance to see how much more exercise I am able to do and not crash.
