Well, I didn’t go to the final Knitting Guild event Tuesday night. I just am still holding on to my energy level, and I need to feel better Saturday so I can dance (in Virginia, MN, about an hour north of Duluth).

I hear there was a good time without me at guild. OfficiallyAKnitter wrote her version of the event. As did Handknitter (Sarah). So far no news on Knitknacks but I bet it’s coming.

I just stayed home and rested on the couch and balanced my checkbook. Really. You can tell how bored I am from sitting on the couch for most of a week, right?

But I need all my energy soon. Because eight of the Habibi Dancers (including me) are leaving Thursday morning for Virginia, Minnesota (an hour north of Duluth, and about 20 minutes from where my mother was born, a town called Gilbert). And this weekend I need to dance my heart out for 3 numbers at a concert. And I will get back on Monday.

The nurse I saw yesterday says I’m not contagious and I’m doing all the right things to heal, but it’s a virus. Viruses do whatever they want, they heal slowly, and I need to be good to myself. So I am. If I need to rest this whole trip, at least I’ll be in a car sitting down rather than walking or standing or teaching. Right now I feel more like the end of a cold than a big deal. I’ll be fine.

I’m not sure if I will be able to post while I’m gone. I’m going to pre-post at least one entry for when I’m away, but you may not hear from me again until Monday.

But if you don’t hear from me for a while, it isn’t because I’m sicker. It’s because I’m on vacation! A grrrl party on wheels. Look out, Minnesota!
