Mondays are strange
My life is quite exquisite.  Things are going well.  My studio is becoming more popular.  I think that I may have to create another class, specific to fit certain venues, i.e. Jen M and I are in the "penciling in phase" for DAF, and I am taking 2 groups to competitions in San Fran and Reno.  Last night I was working on some choreography for a routine to a Muslimgauze song and I am SORE!  I helped my brother, James, move on Saturday so I am sure that was a contributing factor.

I say that my life is going well, but there are a few things that need tweaking.  My job is riddled with drama.  The nature of my employment is drama, but the coworkers add a very draining aspect on top of the regular job duties.  Hopefully this will change soon.  Rumor has it that my department is going to be restructured.  Last week a member of my friendship circle attempted suicide via overdose.  This saddens me, for obvious reasons.  This person wasn't transferred to my facility, so I don't know how they are doing right now.  I hope better.  
The other gripe I have is with my "friends."  Christopher is a very social person outside of work.  I am not.  I spend a lot of my social  energy at work and with dance lessons.  My history with close friends is bleak.  I am a best friend type of person, with lots of aquaintances and semi-close friends.  Christopher is the best friend/spouse.  Opening up to others takes a certain energy that I really don't feel the need for.  Because C is in need of social interaction, I need to learn how to be social in my private sector again.  My history is bleak because I tend to attract people who are demanding on my time.  I realize that friendships need interaction and dedication to keep them alive.  What I really want are friends without liability, friends who don't have drama and need to vent constantly about their problems to me.  In my freetime, I like to be physically active, I really don't like to sit around and chit chat.  I think that is why when I am with friends in a sitting and talking venue I drink.  I need to find some close friends who have a fondness to physical activity, that way we can have real interactions, not drunken ramblings.  On that same note, I have a certain closeness to my students.  We are active, and we are somewhat friends, but there is a need to keep our relationship Teacher/student oriented.  I am trying to run a business.      

I went on a shopping spree on Friday unexpectedly.  Macy's in the Crossroads mall is liquidating their goods.  They still have a good selection so go down there and check it out.
