last night....

i had my first belly dancing lesson.
i was late because i had to go to the bank first and then there was an accident. i was a bit surprised at how some things seemed totally unnatural for my body to be doing (like anything invovling a shimmy)and some things i did like i'd always done them (like the variations on jazz walking). people in the class were really nice and a couple of total strangers were kind to me.
i think this is going to be very fun.
and there is a henna party on the 15th involving several professional artists, performances by the local company and snuggling with a bunch of girls on blankets and pillows and having our bodies painted and snacky sort of stuff.
i can handle that.

also, i MAY have figured out luther's puking problem. i was trying to think what had changed for them....when i moved up here i got the kitties a new drinking bowl. one with a filter that recirculated the water in a fountain.....i have switched back to regular water bowls and so far so good. we shall see.

i wonder

i drink too much coffee at work.
do you think it is possible to simulate the effects of manic depression with the help of excessive caffiene?
i have just talked a co-worker into bringing me esspresso and i have sesame street songs running through my brain.
i am sure my crash is going to suck.
