shanmonster: (Don't just sing it--bring it!)
Last night, my dearly beloved umbrella met its demise at the hands of a fearsome wind. I've had that umbrella for about ten years. It was a dark brown leopard print with a beautiful tortoise shell handle, and it is dead. Woe is me, for my umbrella is dead. Undead undead. Umbrella's dead.

The weather is downright freakish. January is supposed to be the coldest month of the year. In previous years, around this time, the temperature would be hovering around 40 below. And instead, we have a veritable Chinook, with rapidly melting snow, and me walking around in a sweater instead of being bundled up in layer after layer of insulated fabrics.

At this rate, I'll be bikini-clad by March.

I'm trying to make kung fu class again tonight, although I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do. My ankle still hasn't fully recuperated, and I have my doubts that I'd be able to do dragons. So if that's what everyone else is doing, I guess I'll just have to do pushups instead.

My workplace is restructuring, and at first, I was afraid it would mess up my scheduling even more. But instead, this looks like it's a Very Good Thing. I may be able to make it to kung fu AND teach my dance classes on a regular basis. Woohoo!

In other news, I had some vacation time approved. [livejournal.com profile] f00dave and I are now registered for the Midori workshops at Venus Envy in Halifax in May. Now I just need the spiffy leather outfit to go with it. Heh....

I was almost as sad as if a puppy had died.

Almost.

Poor brolly now rests in pieces in the garbage hut.

THREE workshops! I've been to her rope one before. :-)

Brilliant! I've been to a couple of parties with her in years past and...wow...I could watch her do shibari for hours.

Indeed! Her rope demonstration last fall was my first witnessed scene. I wrote about it here, and plan on doing the same this time around! I wonder if I can take enough notes to do a better job this time? Shan will be able to correlate my writeup, or, better still, give her own! She's a better writer than I am, so here's hoping!

Where do you live? And can you make it to Atlantic Canada for the end of May? ;-)

I'm in Palm Springs, with Icarus.

So it's a bit of a drive? -giggle-

Jeeeest a bit.

I'm looking forward to the workshops. I've definitely never attended anything like this before. What a way to get a baptism, hmm?

Definitely jumping right in with both feet. Well done!
