Tonight marked the fourth consecutive night out of the house. On Tuesday there was dance group, Wednesday had the Finance and Accounting social hour, Thursday was the planning session for the Tuesday dance group’s June show, Friday was dress rehearsal for the Sunday dance troupe’s show this weekend. It wasn’t especially hectic, but I’m still glad it’s not like this every week.
Once upon a time, I was used to a high level of activity,
but that was a long time ago. Back then, I was fueled by coffee, Diet Coke,
adrenaline, anger, and stress. Life is much calmer now, and there is no live-in
partner I’m trying to avoid. Being home is peaceful and lovely and usually the
goal each day.

The cleanup resulted in a sliver in a finger. It was removed and life moved on. While driving to dress rehearsal, my left hand hurt and I discovered another sliver in my hand in a spot that made contact with the steering wheel. I couldn’t wait to get to the studio so I could use a pin to dig it out. Either gardening is dangerous or I am becoming a little too delicate.
During rehearsal, I caught my foot on a floor splinter and
there was bloodshed. Once cleaned up, a gouge and cut were visible. Bright red
drops of my blood dotted the floor. It would have been the perfect time for
collecting a blood sample. A Band-Aid was applied and rehearsal continued. By
the end of rehearsal, the bandage was saturated and a new one applied. Luckily,
it doesn’t hurt, and the performance on Sunday is outside and will include
shoes. Hopefully I am spared additional slivers in fingers and splinter gouged
feet until at least Monday.
