Spring Break... aka I am in Heaven!

It is now the middle of my second week of Spring Break! Starting tomorrow (Wednesday) until Friday of this week I have 1 class each day and on Saturday I teach all day again. But last week I had no teaching or dancing classes! It has been a phenomenal break; I have gotten lots of housework done, I read a book, I spent a lot of time relaxing at home, I went on a lot of walks with Brian and I even had time to sew alterations on some clothes that have been in a pile for, in some cases, years.

I feel perfectly relaxed and extremely happy right now, which is something I haven't felt in a very long time. It is especially wonderful considering what my life is going to be like the next few months. It's not going to be as stressful as the last few months but I still have a lot on my plate. I have an exam in 2 months or less, my students have exam tryouts in 2-3 weeks, and exams in 2 1/2 months. Also I have to help out with 3 more shows/rehearsals, and some of my classes are in another show in the middle of June. Oh dear, I'm starting to feel stressed just thinking about it. Breathe, Elizabeth, Breathe!

The next few days my plan is to practice my exam work at the school, hopefully get my library book that is on hold and in transit to my local library, read said book, maybe go shopping, clean our bedroom, and maybe cook supper a few times. Who knows what else, there are many things I can do! Last week I had a best friend date with Cat and we went out for lunch and went to G.I. Joe's. It was so fun to hang out with a friend, and spend time to catch up and enjoy each other's company.

This weekend Brian had 4 days off so we had tons of time to enjoy each other's company. It was a great weekend! We went on a number of long walks and just talked. It was great to actually be able to spend time with him. We don't often have much time together, and while we try to make the best of it, I found it so relaxing to be able to just kick back and enjoy. Life is good!
