Tired but happy
Jan. 22nd, 2006 11:47 amYesterday was a long and exhausting day, but in a good way.
A couple of times a year our local gender-role-free contra dance has an "advanced" dance (i.e., one geared specifically toward experienced dancers) in the afternoon preceding our regular all-comers Saturday evening dance, and yesterday was such an occasion. And a rather special one at that, given that the callers for the two dances were the twin goddesses of contra dancing, Lisa Greenleaf (afternoon) and Linda Leslie (evening).
( dance geekery follows )
Since I was "on duty" for the afternoon dance,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jwg and I had to arrive at 1:00 so we could haul the sound system and all the other supplies up from the basement, so by 10:00 or so we were getting pretty tired (in fact I remember noticing the time and thinking "is it really only 10:00? It feels much later"). We hung on for a while longer, but, quite uncharacteristically for us, decided to skip the last dance and go home a few minutes early, more especially since jwg had to get up relatively early (for us) in order to go to an LCFD board meeting 100 miles from here. We got home at about 11:30 and just fell into bed.
I'm taking it easy today.
