Finally over this next weekend I’ll be able to get back into the swing of things and resume my five day a week posting schedule (I miss it!). I’ve just been a little bit under the weather, not to mention busy.

Starting last Thursday, I was feeling pretty crappy, thinking I had some sort of stomach bug. I wasn’t sure of the cause, but it was definitely bad enough to affect my work and my plans to go to ballet class Thursday night. Luckily, I felt well enough to go to class Friday night.

HQ tagged along to Friday’s class–something that always makes me happy–and for a little while we thought we were going to be the only ones in class. My ballet instructor said that if we were the only ones, she would show us some partnering steps (an idea that slightly terrified me). Some more people showed up, so we didn’t get a chance to try it out. However, my ballet teacher said the next time the other male dancer who takes the class comes, we’d “play” around with some partnering stuff after class.

The rest of my weekend didn’t go quite as planned–I made it to Content Camp and learned some cool things but we ended up leaving early. I felt pretty much downright terrible from Saturday evening into Monday mid-afternoon, when I started to feel better. I think I might have a slight avocado allergy, since I ate a lot of them around the times I felt sick. I also started feeling better once I stopped eating them, and I’ve had other slight issues when I eaten a lot of avocados before. (My sister thinks she might have a slight banana allergy–and both are related to the rubber tree).

Luckily, I still managed to feel alright to go to Monday’s class, which went well. I’m looking forward to hopefully making it to at least two classes this weekend as well as sneaking a run or two in as well since I’ve been feeling better.

Have you ever done partnering steps in your ballet class, or even taken a pas de deux class?
