Back in the School of Neverending Stairs!

SCHOOL IS OPENING AGAIN YAY!!

But not yet, we start Sept 13th.

However, there are several orientations happening this week, to re-acclimate students and orient the new ones. I built the presentation and volunteered for several hours to sell dance merch.

I was actually happy to encounter alllll the stairs.
All. The. Stairs.

All of them!

I only had to go to 3 but I had to go up and down several times.

The escalators were actually working but that will last about half a day when school starts.

I will have to go allllllll te way up to 8 on Tues the 14th because we are back in-person for PA and Studio PA meetings!!

My right shoulder is messed up in a minor way.
So before it gets worse I decided to bypass the doctor and go right to PT.

(I have learned a thing or 2 from being a dance mom.)

Basically, my shoulder issue is an ergonomic posture issue from working from home.
PT people said everyone is coming in with shoulder issues and lower back issues.

I do not want to do much PT because it is $45 a visit-- that's WITH insurance.
But I will go 2x a week this week and next.

My aunt and I have always shared one deep love in common- swimming.

She swims all the time, because she has a pool in her neighborhood.

I told her I desperately want to be in the pool.
She said what about that pool you used to go to a long time ago?

I thought about that, sort-of, well not really because it wasn't all that clean which is why I stopped going..... they have renovated and it is much nicer than it used to be.

So I thought it was good advice.

It is much nicer and cleaner.

There is a fitness room too.

So I got a new membership for me and Daya.

I cannot wait to get in the pool again, but it will be after next week because of pool renovations.
Daya is going to the gym tho.

I have a secret superpower.

I have known about it for many years but wasn't sure if I still have it.

Yep, I can still do it.

I can memorize combination locks instantly and forever, but only if they are mine.

Since my main lock lives down at the boathouse now, I needed another one for the pool.
So I got to test my superpower and it totally still works!!!!

Also--- AUGUST IS OVER YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
