The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

Aches and pains, bah humbug. My mom taught us all about mind over matter. She was a pro. ballerina through her 30s. Smiling through performances that I would have called "safe word" on. Her right great toe nail never did heal properly. She used to tell me stories of taping up her foot when I started in about taping ankles and wrists doing gymnastics. Made me feel like a wuss, though not her intention. Was just trying to bond.

Oh my gosh, I've have heard horror stories about the pain of ballet! Your mom was a definite trooper, cathexis.

You were a gymnast? Did you have a specialty? I can definitely see how that would be wear and tear as well.

Ballet ain't no joke. I have no idea how they do it. Props to your mom!

And very interesting that you were a gymnast. How long did you do that for?

I think I'm up for a hike this morning...what are the rest of you up to today?

I woke up earlier with a headache so thus far I've only managed to reboot my start.

I took a couple aspirin, went back to bed, just woke up and feel WAY better! Some fresh air and sun sound like a great way to go!

I`m doing some decluttering which so far has resulted in a lot of clutter.

I think I need some of Clay`s stackable totes !

I bet your craft room is very well organized my friend. I would help you..lol

I have 5 of the multidrawer stackable storage bin things....one is broken so I am emptying that one into the other 5. I have 10 actually BUT only these will fit neatly into my tiny studio apt! Good thing several are taller & skinnier and a couple wider and shorter to hold them on top...

Well, I didn't hike today, but I have to tomorrow...the pasque flowers are blooming and I really want to see them while I can. There's a prairie in a state park not far from me.

I did manage to find a new pair of sneakers, which I need badly. Hard to find anything in my size (11), but I noticed at the shoe place today, there were even a few size 12's.

Making carrot cashew curry for supper.

Hard to believe two weeks ago you's had a snowstorm and now you're able to admire the beauty of pasque flowers!
Enjoy the park and your hike..
