My W seems to be in a funk these past several weeks. She hasn't been going to dance venues as much, is spotty with her attendance at exercise classes, is difficult to get to practice dancing. Her commitment to smoking seems to be fading. she spends too much time in front of the computer smoking and drinking alcohol. We talked last night about the importance of engaging in one recreational activity per day. I'm going to influence her to join me in some of my activities (fitness center, dance classes, practices). The good news is that when she goes out, she is usually glad she did, and perks up for that day.
We attended our private dance lesson yesterday, and are continuing on our journey towards the competition in January. My guess is, as we get closer to the event, she will be jolted out of her procrastination, and will put more effort into practice. Until then, I will practice on my own, and try to get her to practice together. She bought a 23 lesson package, with unlimited group lessons, and other perks. This should keep us busy for awhile. My efforts at scaling back the dances to two, scaling back the package to what we can afford, and lobbying for the importance of participating in the competition has paid off so far, by keeping her involved in the process. I think it's important for us to take advantage of this opportunity, and take our dance skills and partnership to a higher level.
