Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

I’m sick. I’ve been battling a cold all week. I’ve been trying to be careful and not to push myself. I even spent an entire day this week asleep. I even spent much of my time in Texas lounging around and keeping it light. I brought my workout clothes hoping for at least one trip to the gym with my niece Drea and Alex (it’s what Drea and I do for FUN! nothing beats a workout and sauna relaxation)

But I was sickies and there was so much drama. I’ve had a ton of drama this week–but I survive!

I’m refinancing one of my two home loans and I’m hopefully, going to get a better rate and a couple of thousand more. I’ll be sharing that with my family (more drama) but it’s for a good cause because if your sister can’t refinance her home and loan you some money when your ship is sinking, who will?

I’m currently getting used to living along in my apartment without the following:

• my dog carmelita

• my old friend Briseyda (who was my roommate for 6 months)

• my exbf Max (who used to be over ALL the time)

Okay, I’m still his friend and this DOES seem a bit mean spirited. JUST because someone owns multiple guns, enjoys hunting, and prefers (PREFERS) to live in Virginia because of gun rights, DOESN’T make them a hick. However, he DOES identify as a red-neck jew… so if the gun fits…

I’m also in a workout rut because of my cold. I have’nt been to the gym in at least a week. Yup. It’s been a week.

I’m also teaching a class at the second annual Learn-a-palooza Teaching Festival in Washington, D.C. It’s a daylong festival where people in the community sign up to teach free workshops to anyone interested in the topics which include: dance like a burlesque dancer, get out a speeding ticket, and, ahem, "Fag Hag’s Guide to DC: Finding Gays in DC." This thing goes down on May 10, www.learnapaloozadc.com

What else? I’m going to go see the special National Cathedral lights show tomorrow night. And um… I’m going to work on Sunday. Boo hoo. Everything will be better (work wise) after June 22… why? check this out:
