Life is bloody good at the moment. Sure, there are still silly little irritations like my car playing up, and the itch is still hanging around like a bad smell, but on all other fronts things are looking up.
First and foremost I finally have a new dance partner, Leah. She's a 19 year old welsh girl currently studying Maths at Royal Holloway. She lives in Egham and has loads of time free most afternoons/evenings/weekends to dance, which is perfect. She's also got absolutely great technique. After just one week of dancing together we already have 4 of our 5 routines choreographed - we now just need to work out a Jive. We're planning on competing in just over 2 weeks time at the student national championships in the ex-student category, which should be a gentle introduction to competitions. I've got a great feeling about it all, and my dance obsession has cranked up another whole notch!
Secondly my love life has finally perked up a bit. Been on about 4 dates now and things are looking good, but no more on that for fear of jinxing it!
Lastly, and most intruigingly, I've just started going to see an Accupunturist. I didn't really know quite what to expect but had a vague idea he might be able to help with the itching. Actually its like a whole counselling/emotional workout as well as relieving vast amounts of pent-up frustration and tension that I seem to have been storing up inside me. I'm feeling so much better about life, and the visualisations and ideas that he is giving me, along with classic needle-based therapy, is absolutely fascinating. The most surprising aspect of it all is realising just how tense a person I have been for such a long time. You know the feeling you get of release after you have really let go and cried for a while? I've got that right now and its wonderful. Long may it last, and with a bit of luck it'll lead to improvement in some more physical symptoms.
Only 6 more weeks of teaching to go now until I give up for good. I'm really quite excited now. I don't know how committed I'm going to be feeling toward teaching in these last few weeks but I would like to go out with a bang rather than a whimper!
Haven't seen Dad & Carole for ages, and haven't seen my gorgeous nephew for far too long too. Life is suddenly so busy with an extra 12 or so hours of dancing a week (duh, surprise). Hope to remedy both of those very soon.
Here's to what is promising to be a very exciting 2007.
