It's taken a couple of months of talking myself back into it but last night I stepped back onto the dancefloor for some swing dance classes. I was a complete nervous wreck. The thought walking into a room and having to make physical contact with a bunch of people i don't know.... sweaty palms, body odour, halitosis... it's all enough to make an ex-dental nurse vom.
but... i did it(go to class not vomit). and you know what? i aced it. it all came back to me just like riding a bike but I'm actually really good at this. One lesson back and I have been moved up to intermeadiate. This evening I'm praticing my moves in the loungeroom much to my housemates amusement and desperate for next monday to come around so i can hold a strangers hands and find my inner quiet.

slightly accomplished
This morning whilst riding to work my bike broke down for the umpteenth time since it came into my life. It’s possibly the most unreliable bike in town but I love it too much to part with it.
Normally I would call someone to fix it, I’d kick it, I’d lock it up and walk away but this morning with frozen hands, swollen eyes and angry beeping drivers abusing me every couple of minutes I managed to fix it all on my own. No tools, no calls and no tantrums. I was very nearly late to work, I am covered in grease and there are cuts on my hands but I’m pretty damn pleased with myself.

Public Apology #1
Hello.
Please accept this as an apology for any irrational, awkward, out of line and peculiar behaviour I may have displayed in the last two or three weeks.
I’ve been a bit out of sorts and I haven’t done a particularly good job of hiding it this time around. April seems to be a bad month for me every year and let me assure you all that next year I intend to hibernate in Vietnam for the majority of the month to save you all from having to deal with me. I’m well aware that it hasn’t been much fun – try being in my head.
Good news – As the end of April nears, the end of my angry red is in sight and thing are calming down again. I feel a bit like my old self today (my dress blew up in my face to remind me who I was) and am relieved to say the least.
Thank you for tolerating me. I owe you all a coffee, a cupcake and a hug.

P.S. Please make sure you collect on the coffee, cupcake and hug offer. I’ll even make coupons.
