Spring fever, that is. Flowers are blooming, roses are blooming, the air smells like orange blossoms, and the grass is turning green. This is what I half-jokingly call "Hammock Weather." And I love it. Only.....it seems to be creating a bit of havoc with my practice. Lately my shimmies have gone from leftrightleftrightleftrightleftright to leffffft.......riiiiiight.......leffffft......riiiiiight and my clean, sharp pops & locks have turned to mush.
My brain says "Get busy, busy, busy! Summer hibernation is just around the corner!" but my body just isn't responding. I think I'm twitterpated. But, sleepy spring laziness aside I have faithfully managed to keep up my belly dance practice every day since Dec. 14th for a total of 4,422 minutes or 73 hours and 42 minutes.
Is anybody else experiencing Spring Fever? What are you doing about it? Fighting it? Going with the flow?
BTW, I forgot to mention in my post about color that my Grandma will be turning 93 in July. 93!!!! And she still lives in her own house and is mostly able to take care of herself. 93!!! She would scold me something fierce if she knew I was revealing her age, but I think it's something to be proud of.

Well, you already know how I've been dealing with my spring fever -- by complaining about it on my blog and just trying to slog through it :)
ReplyDeleteHow awesome that your grandma is almost 93! Good for her!
Slog, slug, sloth....yup, that's me.
ReplyDelete93!!!! Just think of all the changes that she's seen in all those years. I hope I'm lucky enough to live that long and be as healthy as she is.
