Back off Baby
It is now October and its still a bagillion degrees and muggy here in Coral Springs. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the weather here. I woke up this morning to the sound of rain, but when I stepped out onto the porch it was more like a sauna than anything that could be described as brisk, or autumnal, or not-a-ten million-degree-sweat-bath. Very disconcerting for me. I wonder how long it will be before it doesn't seem quite so wrong. I feel like the wrongness is contributing to my general stressed-out-itude. It just feels wrong all the time even though intellectually I know its fine and normal for this climate. The internal dichotomy makes my head a splode. The rain also means I didn't go for a long walk with the puppy this morning, so he is a little antsy and bored.
Roland and I signed up for a community education dance class yesterday. It starts a week from Saturday and I'm hoping it will be fun. It is 8 weeks, but we will have to miss the last week due to driving to Disney World to meet his parents. It is Waltz and Tango class, we wanted a class that didn't have too many dances in it. Some of them purport to teach you the fox trot, merengue, cha-cha, tango, and salsa all in 8 weeks. Good luck. And since we already know the basic step of the waltz we figured two would be ok. Plus Saturday is a good day because it doesn't interfere with Roland's classes, meetings, or office hours. Its been tough because he is not on some email list that he should be on so he doesn't find out about meetings until the day of, and sometimes the minute of. But I'm excited, I really want the dance shoes I put on my wishlist now, but I suppose I should wait and find out if I'm any good first.

If it makes you feel any better, it's been in the mid-80s here in MI. Someone mentioned to me recently that the past month or something we've been above average temps every day or almost every day. Or something. So it's still officially waaarrmm here. What size shoe do you wear?
Well, I usually wear a 7 wide or 7.5 (and once an 8) depending on the shoe. But since they are leather they will stretch at least a bit. I've been debating for a while and finally came to the conclusion that I should just wait until I am going to get a pair, decide and send them back if they don't fit. Thus saving me wear and tear on my brain.
