Four full days
The weekend had so much crammed into it. I slept horribly Sunday night and forgot to turn on the alarm, my feet were killing me, and my parents want my stuff out of their house, but I had a great time.
The dreams were weird. The big one was something Buffyverse style. I was in a group of people who were fighting the bad guy hordes, and we did a huge group ritual to bestow one person with magical powers to defeat the threat. ToddB was the chosen subject, and we all focused on a candle. At the end of the chant, I was close to the candle we all gestured towards, and the last phrase said we grant the power to Todd. He was up on a balcony and distracted, trying to rig some bombs to blast the enemies in the building. We all finish by pointing at him, and I even got lifted up somehow to be at balcony level. It didn't seem like anything happened, and Todd was like, "Wha?" as one of his bombs went off around the corner. Then I'm standing there looking around the corner down a slope. Now the bad guys weren't humanoid, but some mini-golem things that were all white. I turned to whoever was next to me (maybe Crystal) and asked, "Um, did we all say ToddB or just Todd?"
"Todd, why?"
"Uh, I think I got it."
"Seriously?"
Then I somehow charged up my hand, and shot a blast at one of the little stone minions coming at us. I spent the next little while trying to get the hang of charging and shooting the energy bolts. It was cool but unpredictable.
I got some homework done, but still have a ways to go to catch up when I get back from BC. The big project I have to do in the next two days is convert all my karaoke music to the computer. The same Saturday evening I return on the train, I'm KJ-ing the work Holiday party. It'll be nice at least having a backup, but I'm staying legal even if I have to run it at two venues.
Sunday was great! I finally went downtown for swing dancing. Lots of cute girls asked me to dance. Obviously not all of them are interested romantically, but once I'm better at it, I'll be doing the asking and chatting to get to know regulars. Eventually I'll move up to the Thursday lessons at the PPAA, but they teach a lot of steps on Sundays and repeating one or two would actually help me get them down. The folks have done swing, ballroom, and salsa so I'll get some pointers from them too.
Still doing some exercise every day, and it feels good.
