Once again, up late with a full day on the morrow...

And procrastinating madly, which I excel at. I'm supposed to be packing, which won't be as hard as all that, since I didn't completely unpack from my arrival home 5 nights ago. And with the next couple of months full of trips away, I think I'll make up a permanent travel bag for toiletries and the like...

Share (crazy, wild, amazing dog) is away at her doggie dude ranch, since we'll be on the ferry when it opens in the morning. I really miss having her here. I hate the nights when she's there and we're still home, even though I know she's having great fun with all her fellow doggie pals. I should drop names here, because the place is so amazing. Pet Pampering, where the dogs all get to run together in a couple of huge yards with toys and massive mounds of sawdust to get dirty in. They're crated at night and meal times and the rest of the time they get to play, play play. Love it and love how caring and friendly all the staff are.

Anyways, went dancing last night, with my best buddy and a couple of her (much younger) work-mates. They drank a lot, except for one who was the driver. And flirted and were downright raunchy, which is not my thing at all. So I kept to the dance floor and danced all on my own and had a blast, and they came and went. I had a blast. I think I need to get out and go dancing more often. This place is a pretty harmless crowd, and on 80's night - every Wednesday, its a goofy crowd, all dressed in their 80's gear (and no, I didn't...this time. In the past I have, though!). Anyways, I think I might go down every once in a while, earlier - we didn't get their until 11:30 which is when it gets crowded and the alcohol kicks in and people get stupid. Go early, like at 10:00 and dance until11:30 or so and then leave. On my own, if I need to, for the fun and fitness factor. I don't need to be social to dance and feel almost better dancing on my own - I can close my eyes and just have fun, rather than having to any attention to whomever I'm with. Especially if they're drinking and I'm the only sober one, which happens often. Not sure how I feel about it, and what Rob will think, but its my favorite way to exercise and de-stress, in my best hours of the day...something to think about, at the very least! And if I go early enough there won't even be a cover charge, and I have at most a water or OJ and 7-Up.

Anyways, gotta go pack. Tomorrow shall be a very very long day. Culminating in more dancing and fun in Bellingham with camp people, so I think it'll be good...though there is a 1 1/2 hour drive after that. I'm packing blankets in the back of the van - worst comes to worst, I'll sleep in the van for a bit, but I should have a good energy spike from the dancing to get me most of the way home, and music in the car for after that. But now I need to fold one load of laundry, pack my clothes (what am I going to wear tomorrow night!!!???????!!!!!), clean the bunny cage and do dishes. And I need to be up at 5:00. Yikes!!! Off I go!
