learning experiences in TX

[hypatia42]

Back from TX. Safe and sound. Pilot Andy is very good at his job. His glee at being able to do it is palpable. I got to see some very amazing things in the air. Sunsets and moonsets, constellations, cloud formations, and the shadow of the plane on the clouds. The last makes a rainbows around itself for some reason. I don't really care why. It is beautiful.

My sunglasses have been located. They are taking a short vacation in Arkansas. They'll be winging their way home soon. The other thing that I have let randomly is my camera. At least that one is in KC. Still I missed having in in TX and feel its lack in my life right now. I don't use it every day, even every month. But it is a part of me and my expression of my world. I miss it. I'll get it in April.

I got to see a sea turtle rescue operation in operation. They do rescue and research at this place. The bldg that they were housed in was Very humid and warm. They were all very cute. There should be pics somewhere out there Berkie.

I will not be taking any long trips via small place anytime soon. Not being able to move for hours on end caused me lots of pain. I slept ALL day today to recoup my energy loss. I am glad I planned for today to be free so I could have this time.

I failed at communication of my physical needs and boundaries this weekend. I didn't want to be the one who was keeping everyone else from doing what they wanted to do. I should never have gone out on Sat evening. I should have insisted on taking the second car and gone back to the hotel after dinner. Alas I did not. By the time that I said I needed to get going and they finished the drinks they had just ordered and we got back to the hotel I was a mess. I do not like getting to that place. Granted it was 2 something in the morning when I sat up in my bed and said "It is after two. We have to leave soon. I have to sleep." I felt very abrupt and blunt but I could not take it anymore. I did apologize for what I felt was deplorable behavior the next morning.

Because I was so over-taxed Sat, Sunday was completely lacking in OK-ness. It took me 15 minutes to walk into the airport from the plane in AR. I just couldn't move any faster than that. And we were only halfway home.

I got to swing poi on the beach. Daytime I used my Zunis and at night I used the Honey's glow poi. They swing very differently. We really need to get him some wicks. I may do that for him for his birthday. Shhhh.



I'll see if I can get some of the ones om the Honey and I playing with our respective poi toys.

They are! Fit to my body and designed not to hinder movement while dancing. Never even know they are there.
