Grandpa, and the rest of my life

talyenMy grandfather passed away last Thursday in the early hours of the morning. I'm glad I was able to say goodbye to him.
I will probably attend the wake. Not so sure about the funeral, since it's an unpaid day that counts against me, what with being within my probationary period at my new job.
Tomorrow is an mostly-music service at my church, which is so cool. This means that instead of readings and talking parts, those parts of the service are all done with songs. So are theme seems to be moving toward peace in our community by taking those actions we can with each other. We had one rehearsal, and will be doing, oh, 9 songs. We'll rehearse again for 45 minutes before the service.

I have only run once since Wednesday when I fell while topping some of my best times. In addition to bruises and scrapes, I am pretty sure I pulled something important. I will run again Monday, but I'm actually resting it because it hurts that much, and just stretching it because it keeps tightening up.

Dancing is still fun. I love it. Although right now I want to practice something I learned (the 5/4 waltz) and I can't remember the variation steps. Was it slide, jump, hop, slide, hop/turn? Arrggh! What was that jumping thing? Unfortunately, at least one of my partners was doing it wrong, too. Double-arrggh!
Now I need to shower so I can to the CD-release party for the Seedy Seeds. Check them out, they are sweet and awesome!

And I really dislike dancing with Mike. I always mess up with him anyway and he actually told me I wouldn't be able to learn this part, before Jeannette started teaching it.

One we have the original music, and I'm not sure if we were singing the versus correctly (as in, completely!). And one is beautiful, and hopefully we will practice that one again so we do a great job on it!
