The work that I do now is so much more demanding that before, and even after months of this, I really don't feel like I am in shape.
On my days off I have so much to do. The shopping cleaning the house, and some times walking the dogs. My oldest dog has been ill and I have had to spent time keeping her well. As a result I haven't had time to walk the others.
I have more medical things I need to take care of this year and I will. While it is for my good, its not going to be easy and it will have me on my back recuperating. In that time I will not be able to get out and walk the dogs like I want to.
It does cause me to be stressed out right now. What can I do? Eat well and keep walking. It will help me heal and the exercise will help me relieve the stress.
What do you do when you are stressed? For me its cleaning and cooking, of course my writing. The rest? For me its prayer and taking a deep breathe, I will get better and my surgery will help. Never easy to face, but necessary. It would be worse if I had not been taking care of myself before hand. I have, while not in shape, in better shape than before.

work out
This last Friday night I was performing in Long Beach for the Cario Caravan. It was the opening night, and not well attended.
In a way though it was perfect. It was my goal to perform there and not just be a spectator, and I was able to do that. The rest of the weekend was going to be full of families and my music is not for everyone. The crowd was made up of adults and it was great to perform for them.
It just so happened that I was on the main stage, the Luxor stage. That is exactly where I wanted to perform. Last year on Saturday afternoon I went up with tons of other women in a general dance and some one stepped on my foot hard with her heel and scraped up the top of my foot. She said sorry, but I still had to walk around with a bloody foot. It was not fun.
This year I had the stage to myself, just how I like it, and gave a good performance and had a good work out as well. After that we went to our favorite bar on the Queen Mary and had something to eat and drink. When I have to work and dress for them its so boring. I have to say the things they want me to. When I dance I dance because I love it and it makes me happy. After dancing I feel like myself. Even though this weekend I am sick and the rest of the weekend I am staying home and taking care of my cold, it helps me feel better.
Sure I woke up Friday morning with a cough and cold and went to the Dr, but the show must go on. My dog Gwennie got sick and she is still at the vets, and she will be fine. I was able to do my performance and go home. No one would guess all that was going on in my life, the smile that hides the truth. Not that they need to know, it was just a nice performance. As well as a good work out.
