These are days

"These are days" is one of my favorite songs by "10,000 maniacs".

These days I live happily. With one small imperfection though. When it first emerged last Friday, I thought it was no big deal. Actually, I thought it was part of my plan anyway. However, it annoyed me in minutes, hours and days, just randomly creeping into my mind, unannounced. Before I realized it, it already pissed me off a bit, like water sunk into a sponge, little by little, until it got all heavy and dripping.

Other than that, it is perfect. Tomorrow I am going to give two workshops. My boss finally wrote a recommendation letter for me. She is very willing, but she is a big procrastinator. So it took me 1 months and maybe 5 emails to get it nailed. Talking about American inefficiency! I will perform dance one more time this Sunday. It will not be my best show, as I know that my physical capabilities are going downhill fast in the past year or so (not to help is my ankle injury). But it will be my fanale, my swan song, something I can feel happy and sad at the same time, something that I do not want to get a video tape of but always remember.
