The one thing I like about getting up on Monday morning, is that I am usually well rested and ready to go for another week. Let's just say that I did not enjoy getting up this morning. I rolled out of bed and had trouble walking, and knew from that moment that it was going to be a tough one; thank goodness this is the last week of class.
I muddled my way through lyrical and pilates by pulling faces that I am glad I never had to look at, although the poor teachers and my classmates probably didn't enjoy them very much. Acro was quite interesting as well, although luckily my arms were nowhere near as sore as my legs. My cartwheels were actually quite decent, but I think I need to give myself an acro intensive over the holidays, otherwise I may be kicked out for being hopeless. I do admit that as soon as I get upside down, I lose all control of my body and sense of direction, but I am trying. (Trying not to die does count right?)
This afternoon I received a call from a man who was responding to my ad in the paper. After I informed him that I didn't have an ad in the paper there was an awkward silence, followed by "ok...um wrong number?.." and the dial tone as he hung up. He seemed a little more embarrassed than someone who has simply called the wrong number, and this got me wondering, what kind of ad was he responding to? Knowing my luck, there is some adult entertainer out there with a number one digit different from mine. Maybe I should get myself a stripper name so that I can play along next time, but I have a feeling my giggles might give it away.
Tonight I did some baking, and discovered the issues of a raised stove and a short stature. My caramel needed constant stirring for 10 minutes, and this saw me perched precariously on a swivel chair so that I could both reach and see the caramel. Let me just say that almost stacking it while stirring boiling sugar syrup is not the safest thing you can do. Luckily I have managed to escape any serious burns, and the result seemed to taste ok, so hopefully the zany recipe it was added to works out just as well.
Right now I am falling asleep on my keyboard, and seriously asking myself if 8:30 is an acceptable time to go to bed. Technically it's 9:30 in the newly ended daylight saving time, so it is ok right? Right?
Xx, Little Duck
