Emotional/mental stability has finally returned (aka: PMS has left - and I'm now 90% certain I'm going back on the Depo just to avoid going through that again).

My 2-hr private pole class with Yannori went really, really well! I got some good practice exercises and a great technique for doing a GRACEFUL on-pole leg switch which, just maybe, will lead to me being able to climb on a regular basis. That would be "teh awesum". She also taught me a really simple, but strength-building (for me), transition she calls "the bounce". We did "hook", forward, and reverse spins and were able to work well together to figure out my screw ups and modifications that work well for me. I slipped a few times, causing me to land the moves wrong (on the side of my foot) and now have a super annoying bruise just below my big toe, right over the bone (Ouchie!). But, otherwise, am no worse for the wear.

We also did a bunch of other stuff that, with luck, will come back to me later cause I can't remember any of it now. It was an EXPENSIVE session but money well spent. I really got a lot of good out of it. Yannori is an impressive instructor and I hope I can see her again soon. (many thanks to Fachowna for introducing me to her!)

After Yannori, I headed off to get a pedicure, couldn't decide what I wanted, and ended up having pink nails with white polka dots. I know the dots tend to come off faster than regular designs (cause they do them with hobby paint instead of nail polish) - but what the heck, they're fun:

Since I'm out of coffee, I decided to head to Trader Joe's - where I found my missing frozen jasmine rice (HURRAY!!) and, no longer being pissed that they're out of everything I love, went on a shopping spree (only 1 bag). I've been craving pasta with thai peanut sauce for over a week so, of course, I ended up with 3 bowls of frozen thai pasta, a jar of thai peanut sauce, and peanut butter - despite knowing that I can no longer tolerate PB (OH WELL). Right now, I'm using all my will power resisting the urge to eat both pkgs of buffalo chicken pinwheel sandwiches (soooo YUM).

At home, I let the cats out front for a bit - despite the fact that Boo's 3 days of SCREAMING at me means she really didn't deserve it. Last night she pulled an attitude with ME on the bed, not happy that my arm was too close to her, and found herself thrown on the floor (my patience was ZERO). Damn, she tries my nerves. (the other two are pure sweetness.) My hope was that some front-yard time would mellow her out but no such luck - she already resumed the random annoying crying.

By the end of outdoor play time, it was early evening so I started some more laundry, went out back to water plants, and found the first ripe blueberries of the season!! Seems kind of early but everything seems like it's blooming early, so maybe it's me that's out of sync:

I really should do the vacuuming now but.. meh... who, but me and the kitties, is gonna notice? And it's so much easier to be a veg in front of the computer & TV. (I'm REALLY tired.)

Does tomorrow HAVE to be Monday? I'm sooo not in the mood for everything that comes with that. How annoying that I'm already stressing about it so it's invading my Sun night too.

I'll pay you $1 to put fresh linens on my bed for me. Kthx?
