alonewiththemoonI really feel like I am falling apart in this heat--even in air conditioning, my body can tell that it's fake and that the real heat is oppressively out there pushing at the edges of sensation. I made a point of drinking a lot of water and little alcohol all weekend in an attempt to stave this kind of feeling off, but to not much avail. I haven't slept well in days, and took a couple hours of sick time this morning to try to get some extra rest--I woke up after five hours of sleep, and between the sleep deprivation and the heat I thought I was going to throw up. The nausea went away after a little more sleep, but the weakness remains. I have class tonight, but I'll have to take it very easy. I think I overdid things on Sunday without realizing it.
Yesterday's yoga class was excellent, focused on twists to help us wring summer stagnation out of our bodies. It did actually help for a while, but then having to dry my hair last night put me right back where I had been. I had a good show at the Middle East, I thought, but in talking with a more experienced dancer there I confirmed my gut level feeling that the highly classical stuff I tend to dance to is not really appropriate for the venue--as she said, you've got to dumb it down for that crowd. I could tell while I was dancing to Ya Msafer Whadak that the music was losing people--they would start trying to clap along, and then the music would do a 180 in some other direction. That makes it great to dance to, but I should keep that kind of thing for more of a concert or recital setting, not a restaurant. If only I didn't love it so much... but there's always baladi and shaabi, that makes people happy.
Saturday was a fun evening of board games--I've never played Cranium before, I liked it--and a semi-productive afternoon of shopping for sundry stuff. I'm trying to find some machine washable runners for use as rugs in the bedroom, but most of the color palattes out there now are hideous. I guess 70s colors like avocado and harvest are the in thing. I could always dye some all cotton ones black, if it comes down to it. Friday M took me out for a sushi dinner since I had had a very trying week. I have a very good man.
Bleh. Nausea's not entirely gone after all.
