I went out dancing with my W for a third night in a row (she was itching to get out). I've decided to think more like a partner and go with her, even if I'd rather sleep. I ended-up having a good time, and got some good practice in. The compromise was that we stayed in town, even though she wanted to travel an hour away.
The issue of vacation is on the table again. I believe that our dance trip to Florida counts as a vacation. She wants another trip to Puerto Rico. She started threatening last night to find a travel partner to go with. I spoke up and told her "only if it's a female." I wrote her an email when I woke up today, and put the vacation negotiations back on the table. I think she's willing to do a budget trip--rooms versus hotels.
I've been getting irritable about the dance performance teams, as our expectations get higher, and I try to incorporate specific skills. My W has threatened to walk out on our practices. Our dance teacher observes that "I'm deceptively strong." The lady dance teacher observes that I get so focused on details, that I put too much intensity into certain aspects, and need to tone it down. He also wants me to work on having more presence with my body. So much to work on, and areas to grow into.
